BUILDING UP AF-SOMALI WORDS

Post by BlueBlood »

i have realized that the somali language is very limited in vocabularies after i saw the lambar thread by moawr.... so to improve the somali words we should try playing a game where we post a foreign word in the somali language , verify no original somali word exist for that word and then suggest a new original word. i will update all new words created and compile them so that you can use them when speaking in somali :lol:

rules:
1: post a foriegn word
2: members will verify we dont have an original somali term for that word.
3: when exhausted that no term exist for that word then the person who posted the word should suggest a new term.
4:if the person cant come up with a new word then other users should help him.
5:we cant post another word unless the previous word was solved


Example: isbitaal/cisbitaal

what do we call isbitaal in somali?

we have to borrow some words just like any other language, like
Bii es 4, biijoot and garoon but we must try to find words for new technology and inventions!

Road hump = Askari jiifa
Second hand clothes= huudheedh ? :lol:
Baguette = furun

Giovane is Italian for Dhalinyaro

Arbitro is Italian for referee.

Avvocato is Italian for lawyer.

Nooh, how could you not know what it means? The most abused word in Xamar and is an Italian loan word like the above words.

Seriously, what Somali word can be used in place of 'Nooh'?
