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

:bell:
Yet reer waqooyi sound the most Hindi :cosbyhmm:
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.



Swahilis copied hindis, I guess the entirety of east Africa says gaari.
It's Hindi, I saw a timo jileec use the word and she sounded reer waqooyi I had to do a double take.

also beeso

Beeso is Italian.

Aabahaa camal, duqa xamari waynaday waaye, we would get along fine..
I hate my dads accent sometimes :drakekidding:

I say katiin for necklace and ubax or fiore for flower everything else sounds about right.

Why do ppl say canjero though when its canjelo?

Why do people say kilkiliyo for armpits when it's shaqful?

:cosbyhmm:
 
Am I giving off male vibes today? :tocry: This is the 5th or so time.

Which country is this? :williamswtf: Still fasting


North America. Yea, You know Hillaac is usually used by male. In English, you already know it means Lightening, it kinda sounds masculine.


PS: Aren't you the girl who recommended the book Delirium to me? so we meet again ...... Looks around, makes sure TheCushiticOne isn't looking, gives Hillaac a hug

Growing up the few times I heard people say canjeelo I assumed it was a speech impediment. Until the internet.

:dead::dead:

Canjeelo = Glorious food of the geeljire Kangs and Kweens

Canjero sounds like an infectious disease you contract on an African Safari trip
