meaning of these word pls

Post by nord »

Laangaab, laandheere, faradheere (I know one meaning, but do not understand why/how this is used to refer to somali people)

Also, where did you learn the meaning of these words?

From my understanding, faradheere refers to a nosy person. They other 2 are self explanatory.

Yes, faradheere is the most obvious one to me, similar to afdheere etc. But I don't know how this is used to refer to Somalis. I remember one guy here calling Somalis faradheeres in a thread about bantus.

Laangaab and laandheere make absolutely no sense to.me. Have never heard them before except on this site.
If you know what they mean tell me and how you came across them

Dude. Laangaab is someone who has laan gaaban as in short leaf ok? Laandheere is the opposite, long leaf. And the last one is someone with long fingers..i.e. a thief :mrgreen:
