I've never heard of it. Sounds like you made it up.

Do you think he is trying to make Somali men look bad?

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

Oh so you Somali men know about the saying and you still behave the way you do.

My Somali is poor but I’m very proud of that.

Somali maah maah doesn’t discriminate. There are pretty damning ones against women as well

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

Luuqadi wey dhiishay.
That wasnt even close

Kkkkkk
Sxb alwaax bay la tiimbatay caano ma dhantadu

 

[Abdalla]

This has been bothering me all day, but there was some maah maah that means something along the lines of don't expect fruits if you didn't plant the tree? Or don't expect good outcomes if you didn't put in the work.

What word did it have in it?

 

[Dalmoor]

It is “Naag Been baa lagu soo xero galiyaa, Runtana waa lagu dhaqaa”

DC waaxid

@Dalmoor look at this
Af Somaligii bay beerka isaga taagtay

My favourite one is

Nimanka somaliyeed, waxay kuugu imaanayaan been. Waxay kula nool yihiin runta

Which translates that Somali men will bring you in closer with lies and they will live with you with the truth

I’m sure all the Somali single mothers will know what this means

Tell that shit to SayWallahis not us noble geeljire. What a lie!

 

[Magool]

Is it this one

How bout this one?

"Qof aan dhididin ma dhego"

It means you have to work to get your fill. (A person who doesn't sweat, doesn't get his/her fill)

Similar to this one "Nimaan shaqysanin shaah macabo/ waa ka xaaran"
