1= Would have been better as gif. I was imagining a fist all this time. I definitely do the kaalay gesture.
6= Must be a reer Djibouti thing? Never seen anyone do that....

I got the rest right.
qasab

lazy

Buux
Nope, I'm correct.
2 literally means qasab iyo sandulle aka you have to do something.
3 is pointing in direction with your chin....usually when your hands are preoccupied with something.
5 is full aka buux.
 
1.) handing you something
2.) your lying (?) or I’m kidding something like that
3.) look over there
4.) I’ll beat you
5.) get out of here
6.) f* you
7.) crazy person/that makes no sense
8.) car/wir

This video is kinda related to this topic.
The guy at 2:27, though. His explanation of the OK had me crying with laughter, but nice observation there. Somalis usually make that gesture when they are describing something with precision, it's a freaking diirad.:cryinglaughsmiley:
Also died at the guy who said dilaals(brokers) use the okay and the salaaxid gestures a lot.
Here's my take:
Okay sign= See above. Can also mean "cay", as many already mentioned.
Peace sign= 2, us two, twins, comparing two things(is barbar dhigid).
