Do you ask the person's qabiil when you are getting to know someone romantically?

Or whereabouts in Somalia they are from? I used to but honestly didn't bother with the last person. Part of me liked the anonymity plus i will be honest and say that I didn't want it to affect anything. Am I weird? Is it standard practice to ask whether someone is Reer Waqooyi or Reer Koonfur etc?

I do ask them where they/parents are from cause its an interesting conversation topic. I don't ask for qabil cause the person might think I'm a qabilist or something and there are a lot of anti-qabil people in the diaspora.

I thought about asking him that but then I thought he might think that I am trying to figure out his qabiil. :/

Asking where the persons family is from in Somalia is normal .

Its important to know imo. It can save you a lot of problems with their families. Not saying you should reject someone based on qabil but you need to know their views and the views of their family.
If a guys family hates my clan or subclan, I am out! I have time for that.
If I sense there will be beef over qabil or dhuul, I am out. I have time for nonsense :nahgirl:

I usually ask what part of Somalia is their parents from. Asking someone’s qabil straight up out west is a big no no for me :manny:
 

SOMALIKNIGHT

Golan Heights belong to Syria
You can tell what region they are from from a variety of ways:

1) Do they eat their food with a banana?

2) What is their accent when they speak Somali?

3) Are their fingers skinny and bony?

This dude didn't speak Somali at all. I think I got him to say

'magaca' or something and that is it. Fucking fish iyo chibis. :/ I know dialect is a big giveaway.
 
Don't tell me you go..

"Qoloma tahay?"

Not a good look :/
I just say ya tahay. I hate people who try to be sneaky about qabil. Hell even if a stranger asks me I just say who I am. I had never a girl take offense. In fact last xalimo I was talking to asked me straight up.....and then said good you are not hawiye. Not gonna waste my time on one. I asked he why you hate them. She said they killed half my family. I said thats as solid reason to hate as you can have
