Those of you who visited Somalia, did you also get bullied relentlessly my somali isn’t even bad i can hold fluent conversations and I understand everything but apparently my accent is horrible so I was clowned have any of you experienced anything like this?

 

[Anisah The Serpent]

Yes, my cousins stole all my clothes. And the store next door kept charging me money for things I didn’t even buy. I was also forced to wear long hijabs that I tripped over every 3 seconds.

Went there when I was in year 9 (so 14 year olds for you Americans) and the dugsi macaalin thought I was in my 20s due to my height so he let me go home early after cashar

My Somali vocabulary skills aren't actually terrible but my sentence order and my writing leave much to be desired.

So, if I ever took a trip to Somalia I would just say I'm Yemeni or something (since I'm a Reer Xamar cadcad).

Wow I’m sorry they did that as soon as people find out you weren’t born in Somalia they take advantage of you.

Same that’s my issue too, you can tell somali isn’t my first language. That’s actually smart too bad I can’t pull that I’m not light enough

I can speak pretty fluently and understand all dialects (reer mudug tingz) but I have a western accent when I speak

 

[XalimosVeryOwn]

In Kenya I used to not even know how to speak Somali but I understood it you should’ve seen the faces of my relatives

I was also finessed and had every clothing item stolen and they would speak Somali and I couldn’t reply to them ceeb badana

Do cadcads see themselves as somali? I've met some that are hardcore nationalists and some that claim kenya and yemen.

 

[elite1337]

havent went there yet and hearing these storings its not gonna end up well for me lol

 

[HiraanBorn]

Some can be like Arab light and some are only a bit lighter than typical Somalis. I'm one of those who are only a bit lighter than typical Somalis.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure I could really pull off the Yemeni card because I have an Abgaal mother and Reer Xamar father. My father himself is only half Reer Xamar his mother was Darod or something, so I have way more Geeljire blood than I appear to have.

 

[Odkac WRLD]

I was hooyo mataalo tbh but after about 4 months in PL my language skills improved a lot, i even point out other ppls grammar errors now lol

 

[karkaar]

[AbdiS]

Now, though, I have even developed a fob accent.
