Dhardaaran in english?

[CABDULWALI XASAN.]

Who knows the meaning of this word in english I cant figure it out I know what it means in somali but what is its english equivelent.

 

[Garsoore]

You mean dardaaran? It means Advice

 

[Takis]

There is no actual word for it, it alludes more to parting advice, but you could say admonition.

 

[CABDULWALI XASAN.]

I dont think it means advice thats not how the word is used in somali. More like emphasize or challenge or reprimand. Like to get the point across. I mean this word is not new to me ive been using it / hearing it all my life its only today the topic came up about its translation to english since a guy didnt know it

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

'Dardaaran' has dual meaning:

a) 'Valediction' at one's departure dispensing with counsel and guidance of what to do in one's absence ( widaac is also used by the literati),​

b) 'Will' one leaves behind post one's passing ( 'wisaayad' is also used by poets ).​

​

c) There is 'dardaar weri / werin / waris', which entails admonition, caution, or warning one of dire, adverse consequences of one's actions, which I trust is what you might be thinking of.​

Food for thought.
