Who would want to dress like that in this day and age. I don't mind wearing a shaati iyo macawis and dacas miskiin anything other then that seems like a hassle
I wear whatever, plus every culture in the world has imported some of their stuff.

We might have not invented the macawiis but we use it so much we can claim it, same with Swedish meatballs they are not really swedish.

I think people forget that part, also no culture stays the same throughout time. So wear whatever you want and eat whatever you want and just stop complaining for the love of God. We have other important things to take care of like you said feed our people and build our country.

Niggas would rather complain about whether some pants were imported or invented than actually feeding their population.

1), Oromos in Haraghe took incubation from Somali culture.

2), Indians adopted Lungi from Indonesia. Is Lungi not Indian now?

3), Arabic has tons of loan words lol. You just don't know them.

It could have been worse, in Uganda their traditional male attire is a combination of the Arab thobe and the British suit jacket (even by the Christian tribes). It is seen as traditional there. :lol:

Where did the notion that "macawiis" is true Somali culture come from?

Somalis did adopt a lot of things from trading with others but it's wrong to call it authentic Somali cultural garments.


Sure, use it to sleep and whatever, but please, stop embarrassing us during cultural events by wearing outfits fishermen and other labourers wear.

Even Bengalis and other Asians (from where it comes) don't wear the LUNGI to a formal event!!!!

@Finesse,

Macawiis is east African, yemeni and south asian. Sure it may have originated in one country and spread to us but we have worn it so long that it is part of our culture now. The macawiis we wear today is pretty much the same as the lower garment somali nomads use to wear. Cultures evolve over time. Not a big deal


Best,

Faahiye

WTF wearing cloth around your lower half isn’t limited to one people. Everyone does that hell I bet you cavemen were doing that. Think of it like convergent evolution but with clothes. No culture is special for wrapping fabric around their arses.

My camels aren't Somali, they are arabian.

My hair is not Somali, it is Madow cultural appointment.

My facial features is not Somali, it is Caucasian.

My **** is not Somali, it is Homo Sapien.

Somalia is not Somali, it is Horn African Hunter Gatherer land.

Your argument is retarded, cultures borrow shit from eachother.
Nacaala kuguyaal, my noble camel herd is ethnically Somali, say they're Arabian again and I'll get my boys to raid your tuulo and steal your goats
