For Chicken in Somali do you use doro or digaag?

[Suldaanka]

Doro in issaq dialect means yeast infection. Or like someone stupid.
I use both. In hargeysa i play reer xamarawi.

 

[kickz]

I told you Ethiopians and us are not the same

Thats offensive, I am not saying we are anything like them

We just have words that are similar in our languages

 

[GBTarmy]

Who even uses that word? There are far more offensive words than that.

it's used in the clan section and politics, some people even use it irl.

I guess Amharic entered your household as “Doro” is chicken in Amharic.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Digag is an Arabic loan word. Whereas, Doro is an authentic Somali/Cushitic word for Chicken. In Amharic, they also use Doro, since that language has a Cushitic substratum.

It's not a north south thing because my family also uses the word digaag.

It's not Amharic Somalis use the word doro as well. It's used in Mogadishu.

Regardless dijaj is the word for chicken in Arabic too.

I guess both Af-Soomali and Amharic have common words. I always known it to be Ahmaric.

does "aar" mean anything in amharic?

 

[AfranQallo]

Like @SOMALI GENERAL its likely a Cushitic word. What do you call it in Oromo?

Could be true as Agew is the main influence of Amharic on the Cushitic side.

Oromos say Lukku for chicken.

 

[East side]

Digaag....but i hear doro as well. For some reason digag feels more appropriate when they are dead and meat is served. While doro when alive and running about

 

[AfranQallo]

does "aar" mean anything in amharic?

Idk I don’t speak the language. I only know a few words.

 

[Apollo]

Like @SOMALI GENERAL its likely a Cushitic word. What do you call it in Oromo?

Lukkuu, Cuucii, Indaaqqoo

Don't see any connections.

Gosh, these double vowels in Oromo are awful.

 

[kickz]

Pfff...like anyone uses it beside you
