Feero means chest and also iron.

Stop speaking Urdu you donkey

Hindis say gaari though.

I wonder why there's a random Hindi loan word in the north and if babuur is an actual Somali word.

Why do koonfur call eachother camal. Camal means work/shaqo

We add that at the end of sentences bro, if you said that you would be inducted into the hall of ciyaalka xaafadda immediately... see camal nooh abaaba .. warka isii, ha is martiyeenin camal

In what the poster posted, iron, socks, comb, underwear, flower lol.

Fiore, ofc. Iskaalsho, sure. Always sounded unnatural to the language. But wtf, shanlo and kastuumo

Stop speaking Urdu you donkey

btw, gaadhi sometimes means the female who is tidy/neat freak oo howl karka ah.

That's Gaari not Gaadhi.

That's gaari, strictly with an r

I have no idea what the origin of the word is, but gari also means car in Swahili so it might've been adopted by us through them

you are right sir,

Camal can be used in place of like that's why it's used so much.

Baabuur sounds like a wild animal sxb

Shanlada lagu shanlaysto timaha, I think reer waqooyi called it something like koyfeydh or whatever, I don't remember exactly but it sounded similar to that

There are many Indian loan words in the Somali lang
Gaari
Baabuur
Saabuun
Baaldi
Baraf
Biyo
Rooti
Badhasaab

 

[John Michael]

Babuur and baaraf are also Hindi.

Are you sure about babuur being Hindi. 99% of the times I've heard south Asians say car is gaari. I tried google translate and only that's coming up.

I have no idea what the origin of the word is, but gari also means car in Swahili so it might've been adopted by us through them

Swahilis copied hindis, I guess the entirety of east Africa says gaari.
