How to say ‘comment’ in Somali language ?

in Somali language, comment is called faalo.

Pronunciation:
/faa-lo/

Sentence:
Had iyo jeer waxaan jeclahay inaan akhriyo qaybta faallooyinka si aan u arko waxa ay dadka kale ka qabaan maqaalka.

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

A thought:
'Faallo' or 'taxliil' is analyses.

For comments, 'Tacliiq' is mostly used by the literari, of which origin is Arabic.

However, the closes word, which I prefer is : 'Falcelis', albeit it is direct translation is: 'feedback'.

Faallo* just means comment.

gorfayn => analysis
falanqayn => analysis

The two words seem similar, but the differences are very subtle. How?

1. Gorfee is prescriptive, it's an analysis of a system under consideration, that you can alter its design or outcome.

gorfee habdhis dhaqaale => design (via analysis) an economic system (i.e. tune it be efficient/profitable.)

2) Falanqee is descriptive, it's an analysis that details how something is or operates, without altering it (think, literary analysis, reporting on events, understanding causality, etc.)

falanqee habdhiska dhaqaale ee Hantiwadaagga => analyze the Socialist economic model. (i.e. detail how it works, or doesn't, but you're not tasked with its design.)

---

Use gorfee when designing something new, falanqee when reporting on something existant. In an academic paper, your original research would be the product of gorfayn, while your citation of your peers' publications would be under falanqayn.

I have never heard of it. I learned new words everyday, this one is one of them.

However, the closes word, which I prefer is : 'Falcelis',

Falcelin => reaction
Here is bbc article using this word.

Gabar lagu riday xukun ah in dhagax lagu dilo iyo falcelin ka dhalatay - BBC News Somali

Gabadhan yar oo ay ninkeeda kala tageen sanadkii 2020-kii ayaa qoyskeeda la nooleed.

albeit it is direct translation is: 'feedback'.

Feedback means jawaabcelin in Somali language.

Shirkadu waxay kaa sugayayaan jawaabcelintaada.

'taxliil' is analyses.

Also I have never heard of this word. I have heard taxliil which means a holly water. Again I learned new word everyday. It is in my book now.

I think:
- 'TaHliil' is what you are thinking of, which is a different word from 'Taxliil'.
- 'Falanqayn' is commentary.

Postscript:
'Falcelis' was first used by the late Dr Afrax of Somali Pen, and has been adopted since then.

- 'Falanqayn' is commentary.

I know right. In the explanation he mention the definition of commentary. So yeah. Falanqayn means commentary.

Gorfayn means analyze
