I don't see it walaal.

He said sometimes, a lot of Yemenis are much darker than that.

Somalis always causing trouble over anything

I don't like looking at language challenges though, unless it's between Somalis, or with other Africans, otherwise it feels awkward to me for some reason.

We might as well just learn Arabic properly at this point

 

[reer]

Yes with many variety: Ciir, garoor, mayac kuligood waa caano

ciir comes from arabic.

everything that comes up for suugo is somali

Sugo is Italian for pasta sauce I'm pretty sure.

 

[Gantaal97]

Somalis and Yemenis do sometimes look alike. Same with Habeshas and Yemenis

Yeah they do look like xaabishis and somalis

 

[Gantaal97]

Suugo

That's a sauce

 

[Gantaal97]

Mostly horners and Yemenis use this word so it’s likely it a word that is not originally arabic. Maybe came from us. Maybe came from ancient south semites and traded to us.

Maraq is Arabic word which means "broth" and I think those girls got confused by it as soup isn't that different from broth is just the ingredients are different

I knew this too wallahi why have us somalis replaced indigenous words with loanwords when it doesn’t make sense

Fool is the somali word for face. Most only used it negatively ” foosha xun”

 

[faarax_mn]

I barely hear Somalis use yacni

You can tell if a word is an Arabic/Semitic Loanword if it has the 3 word base root.
For example SH R B has the meaning of Drinking something and Sharaab in Somali means Juice

The word most arabs/semites use is Shorba

 

[ابن هود]

The word most arabs/semites use is Shorba

But Sharaab is what we call it in Somali

 

[Periplus]

I use it regularly.

Somalis use either yacni or matalan, both of which is very Arabic.

Sharaab is used in Arabic and a lot of other Arabic-influenced languages.

Personally, I stay away from language challenges, it's such a subjective thing.

You really think those words were chosen at random or were they trying to prove a point?

Regardless, anyone that speaks Arabic knows that the Somali language has an abundance of Arabic influence. From the script to the words, the Somali language has seen Arabic influence.

You can either accept loan words as part of modern languages today or show insecurity by continually bringing up the topic.

Choice is yours.

Exactly, Loan words are a natural part of any language

Soup: as @Kamaal already mentioned, fuud
Sauce: yocor

Did you know Weji is arabic

Yeah, the original word for face is "fool".

Fool dhaqo(wash your face)

or the Somali expression: "Far kaliya fool ma dhaqdo."

But Sharaab is what we call it in Somali

cabitaan.

You guys misunderstood. The word for soup in most Arab dialects is Shorba


Also Cabitaan is what we call a drink

Do Xalimos today still claim to be Yemeni like back in the day? Kkkkk
