    Disturbing trend in community I’ve noticed.

    ...why are so many girls I know paying for their weddings? This doesn’t follow the culture and isn’t right The man is supposed to pay it is our duty Is this even halal at all? I get financial hardship but why marry when broke. The women is the backbone of the household, but not the main...

    Western guys....we need to face the facts ASAP

    I honestly believe my greatest fear is cuckoldry. My greatest nightmare is me marrying a great girl, and then a resurfacing of some train being ran by carribeans :drakelaugh: But it wouldn’t be right if I only talked on xalimos. Same goes for men as well, we are supposed to be heads of the...

    Xalimos and traveling alone

    Let me start off by saying this is not a gender war I just needed some clarification.... I am aware that in majority of Islamic countries it’s either frowned upon or straight up not okay for young unmarried ladies to travel internationally on their own. Personally I could care less about the...

    Learning Somali from scratch through immersion

    If you drop a Hooyo Mataalo kid in Somalia, how long would it take for them to speak A1 af soomali- seeing that they are completely immersed in it. personally I believe two months is good for basic Somali, 3-6 and there a pro. thoughts?

    Were the ancient Egyptians

    Our brothers? Since they thought that the land of the Punt was where their people came from, so my question , were the Egyptians our closest brothers?Linguistically speaking and did they share the same DNA as the Somalis in that time?

    Do y’all like somali music?

    This song I find pretty nice. Cousin showed me it recently cause he really likes Somali music. I don’t really listen to somali music at all. It’s super rare if I do. My mother listens to it often when she is driving place and turns up at weddings. My dad listens everyonce in awhile.

    Do white people butcher your name?

    I always have to repeat my name ten times to white people. Then I have to spell out another 10x. I remember in school new teachers would be calling out the register and then fall silent on my name! I mean how hard is it to pronounce: Culusow Cabdiraxiim? Do white people mess up your names?
