Wanna ask a question

[yume]

Who says deenta allah?, I had a Somali friend who would always say deenta allah instead of wallahi, idk what even does deenta allah mean I know it means religion of allah but the context is weird, are there other Somalis who say deenta allah?

 

[Villainess]

Never heard of that

 

[yume]

Oh, I assumed it might be a different dialect in Somalia or certain tribes use it since I’m from the north. Wallahi it’s the strangest thing I’ve ever heard.

I've only heard older somalis say, diinta alle. It could be regional too like you said

I’m from the north look how much different I am

My reer Mudug ayeeyo says it

She uses it when she's exasperated, "deenta ilaahay yaaqano!"
