Why are Somalis so extra?

[Caaro]

Any time anyone says “somalian” instead of “somali”, they ape out. Don’t they realize that every language has its own grammatical rules? In english any word that ends in “ia” will become “ian” i.e:
Scandinavia - Scandinavian
Ethiopia - Ethiopian
India - Indian
Nigeria - Nigerian

Only in the Somali language is “I am Somali” grammatically correct. Imagine if a spanish person got triggered everytime someone called them spanish instead of “español” or a french man gets mad when someone calls him french instead of “français”. Don’t expect everyone to change their language just because you’re not used to it. I’m sure almost every nation has their own way of saying Somalian in their own language, and their own country in their own language. If you want everyone to call you somali then call everyone by their proper names too.

It's true Somalis get mad being called Somalian.

The correct term is zumalian

Ironic you’re telling me that when you’re crying about other people speaking their language

Tell a french person not to say “somali” next time they refer to Somalis too. Somalian is grammatically correct.

You must have me confused for someone else.

Edit: Yes, because people refer to the people of Israel as Israelian, makes sense because in French it's Israelien right?

Ajnabi: somalians waa qashin!

Hated those guys

 

[Shmurda]

Somalian is the nationality Somali is the ethnicity

 

[ReyRey]

The word Somalian sounds derogatory to me, that's why I use it!

What about getting called Abdi? Is that respectable?

 

[AishaBarri]

Ajnabi: somalians waa qashin!

somalis: first of all, it’s Somali!

Anyone who says somalian loses any credibility especially when trying to talk shit. But when saying good things then they’re 100% right

My name isn’t even maxamed.

You still didn’t give a reason on why it’s ok to ape out when someone says “somalian”

We have a right to our identify and how it should be addressed, people do it with pronouns, I don't see what's wrong with extending that principle on a national level

 

[Nilotufian]

1. It sounds so ugly and cringe
2. UK Madows have made it so that "Somalian" is a negative connotation.
3. It's not "Somalian baa nahay"
4. Wtf is Some Alien *matags*

 

[Pipit]

Biggest ethnic group in Somalia = Somali

Citizen of Somalia = Somalian
