Tisk Tisk, you have double Y instead of one in "Ayaan" word. I graded your post with thumbs UP for encouragement. Keep up the good efforts brother.

Double y is correct. When you sound it out loud you clearly rest on the y. Just like you did with 'haddaan' its only one y when its a females name. Ayaan

nah not really I speak to my mom in English she speaks back in somali.

But assuming when you were young they spoke to you in somali shouldn't you be able to speak it

 

[InfoMatic]

BTW, it is easy to imagine most of you going back home and Somalis talk to you in fast Somali, then you lost kids reply with fast blinking of your eyes and your mouth open. The exact words Somalis would say to you that I can hear without being there is

" Ma dhagoolaa wuxu, muxuu la hadli la'yahay?"

"Is he/she Deaf, why can't they speak?"


If these words were said to you during your dhaqan celis trip and you advanced enough to speak the language, farta taago hadda, we will laugh at you of course.

Waa iska caadi. Ha xishoon. Share the misery of your trip back home.

nah they felt it would hinder my education as an child so they speak to mr in English and just assumed I would learn when I was older. unfortunately that was not the case and but they speak to me know in somali. But I still can't really speak it

You are applying the "Shatha" rule you learned from Dugsi. I see what you did there bro. May be it is how we Somalis pronounce the "Y" that makes it seem it should be double to show the stress we put on it, but I am not sure.

Bal aan soo hubsado saxib, you posed a great challenge. And here I thought I was an expert lol

Bilingualism enhances the brain activity and ability of the kids according to studies. Tests done found the bilingual kids did better on most tests than their peers who spoke only one language at home and outside.

Ayaan weligii looma qorin ayyaan, waa khalad. Xitaa hadalka shadda sidaasa kama muuqato sida haddaan oo kale marka iska sax.

 

[Striker]

I only use Somali in Facebook and WhatsApp.

I studied primary and secondary school in Somalia

 

[cantspeak]

Cause your Somali sucks? Thanks for solving the mystery behind your cantspeak name. One could assume you were a mute person. They can write and read but can't talk.

yes bro.

its some struggle shit man

Aynu bilaabno malin afka hoyo lagu qoro aan af ajnabi lagu qoriin. Ayaa ila Jira?

Something interesting about the word Ayaan.

- It is a name once
- It means luck as in the Somali example "waa qof ayaan leh", ayaan wacan, and Ayaan Darro as in Nasiib darro ama bad luck.

If you replace the letter "N" in Ayaan, and you write "Ayaamo" it means "Days" as in "Maalmo".

Our language is rich.


I used to know the eight Somali words for the sun. I remember few:

- Qorax
- Milic
- Kaliil
- Cadceed


You can add if you know the rest of the words Somalis use for the Sun. This shows how we are people of the desert opposite of cultures who are synonymous with snow and cold.

In explaining to my mother what snow was like, and her reaction which was priceless when she said "Hooyo, Cadaab Qaboowgii la sheegi jiray ayaad ku nooshahay"




We are proud and we are Somalis, Qabiilka uun hadday iga dhafi lahaayeen umaddaan madaxa ka wasan, waxbaa noo hagaagi lahaa.
