Language Test: Waqooyi Vs Mogadishu

[government]

How do y’all say door?

I say irid and imagine my friends were tryna grill me and say albaab is the true Somali way like that ain’t Arabic :siilaanyolaugh:

Irid and albaab don't have the same meaning though irid is more like an entrance albaab is a door

 

[RedStar]

How do ya'll say carpet/mat?

In reer waqooyi it is salli

And don't say roog (rug)

We say khadiifad at home

 

[star]

My Somali is limited to the phrases my mum says when she’s angry at me. Very sad indeed. My dad speaks to me in English.

I need dhaqan celis and four caring wives.
@star !!
@Idil-Beydaan?

Looool four though I better be someone’s one and only !

ALLA FIRIIYA WAXAAN
Reer woqqoyi VS Reer Koonfur , majaajilo
waa ku aroosaya marku imaado aaku furaa
women: adhooge maqsinka u ku jira
man: maqaasinka maxu sameena, doli aa ka buuxo
The reer xamar man is trying to marry a married woman he misunderstands her husband as her father because she is reer waqooyi

Back then the like at times of the union they didn't didn't understand each other as now. Even when the northerners went to Mogadishu the the south as using mid which some of the northern delegation didn't understand.

Ps does anyone know how to change the title of the thread

That's the word i was looking for. kadiifad, but also kaarbad, but idk if that's new gen somalification

 

[shabellegal]

I apologize to my Reer Waaqoyi brethren who got trolled by us Konfuur people into thinking Shun is a proper first name

Who was responsible?

 

[Idil-Beydaan]

That's the word i was looking for. kadiifad, but also kaarbad, but idk if that's new gen somalification

What other somalinglish words do the new gen use

Also apparently dooro is an insult in the north, I wonder it's meaning.
There's a tomato and egg dish that I call shakshuuka and it was a horrible insult apparently

I've heard people say kaarbad and roog
Both are somalified words as you've already stated

 

[Slickback]

"Fridgeka"

Just kidding, I'm not that lost. I use the authentic Somali word 'Talaagad'


Oh wait-

Whats wrong with Shuun? Shuun is a normal girls name in wayooyi... does it mean something else in koonfur?

LOL omg I remember my friend being shocked when I asked her if she wanted shakshuuka for breakfast. Hoorta a lot of my friends from the north don’t even eat the same stuff we do. Like imagine someone asking what is mashmash smh

 

[Dheere]

I heard up north they call baguette 'aabahaa futada ka gali' no joke walahi

 

[Slickback]

Yep, we say qasaalad

My theory is that anything you can't take with you to badiiyo is a loan word
