There’s no use for it. It’s why amharoz are stuck behind centuries. We only need two calendars. Leave it in the past. Y’all really want us to be uncivilized. It’s a pretty cool thing and it’s good to remember as tariq but we won’t be using it

We still use these words. In fact they taught us somali seasons in Minnesota. It’s not lost and the new generation is learning it.

6414...That's quite the specific date.
From what I heard, the current date of Nayruuska/dabshidka is actually half that number. This summer we'll be entering the year 3119, lol.
As for where I got that number, you'll have to ask these odays: https://twitter.com/odaykasheekee
Every new year, these odays make Somali horoscope predictions. For those of you who understand somali, you're missing out walaahi
This year's predictions:
From what I know, the dabshid calendar in that tweet was created by some students in Hargeisa Uni. That calendar may work in western regions of SL & Somali Galbeed, but it wouldn't work in other parts of Somali territories as they use different terms. Not to mention, how seasons change depending on where you are in Somaliweyn.
For instance, reer NFD have a long gu' season(5 months or so) + a super short dayr season and in other places it's the complete opposite. That's why we can never have "standardized" Somali calendar, imo.
Recently, they made Somali names for the weekdays, but I heard some people were not too happy about it cause they use different terms for the weekdays, like lammin, koodar etc.

Richard Burton described it during the 1800s:
The Somal divide their year into four seasons:—
1. Gugi (monsoon, from “Gug,” rain) begins in April, is violent for forty-four days and subsides in
August. Many roads may be traversed at this season, which are death in times of drought; the country becomes “Barwako “(in Arabic Rakha, a place of plenty,) forage and water abound, the air is temperate, and the light showers enliven the traveller.
2. Haga is the hot season after the monsoon, and corresponding with our autumn: the country suffers from the Fora, a violent dusty Simum, which is allayed by a fall of rain called Karan.
3. Dair, the beginning of the cold season, opens the sea to shipping. The rain which then falls is called Dairti or Hais: it comes with a west-south-west wind from the hills of Harar.
4. Jilal is the dry season from December to April. The country then becomes Abar (in Arabic Jahr,) a
place of famine: the Nomads migrate to the low plains, where pasture is procurable. Some reckon as a fifth season Kalil, or the heats between Jilal and the monsoon.

The names for the weekdays we use now are all Arabic. The point is to replace them with Somali ones. The days are named after planets. Dusa/dusaa= Mercury
Why do you think that?
