weird Somalis

[riyaale]

I have noticed when Somalis flirt in af soomaali they call each other walaal/aboow/abaayo macaan. how do you call your girlfriend/boyfriend sis/bro. what's going on here?

Same thing in english/spanish why you calling you girlfriend "baby " and "mami" its just a term of endearment don't make it weird when it ain't

It’s only awkward in English

baby/mami isn't like saying sis/bro

I've heard a guy say gabadeey to his wife

I am appalled, I am disgusted, I am flabbergasted

Doesn't carry the same nuance in Somali so it's fine tbh Somali terms of endearment are so cute.

I am appalled, I am disgusted, I am flabbergasted

It's fine! Somali's better keep using these words yall better not give this up
