Lol I hate when Somali guys get that goofy arse grin. It’s awkward & embarrassing lol

edit: do any of you find af Somali excessively wordy? Just to say one thing they use like 2 sentences and never get to the point smh

Maybe it depends on the person but I've noticed the opposite. If you're a good speaker at Somali it's actually easier to say a lot with very few words. You notice this to an extreme degree with Somali poetry. English is more wordy. I remember a linguist friend pointing out that this is often the thing with Afro-Asiatic and Indo-European in that IE is generally more wordy whereas many AA languages like Ancient Egyptian are somewhat "vague" and can say a lot with very few words. He then joked that if the library of Alexandria hadn't been burned down the ancient Egyptians would've likely made the ancient Greeks look like mental midgets.

I’m not gonna lie his face looked hella goofy. You can tell asking questions wasn’t his only intention.

Lol The library thing is absolutely true! Wouldn’t be surprised if the Greeks borrowed a ton from Egypt that’s not credited.

Btw I think maybe that’s what I meant “vague”. Like in this video if you watch 26:35 -27:35, it’s incredibly wordy or at least it appears so. The guy says at 27:28 ok good, welcome back viewers good watching in af Somali instead of just saying welcome back.

Somali iyo musuqmaasuq maxaa kale haysta. Just because he likes her he is willing to cheat for her. The way both of them were being flirtatious was nauseating and almost made me vomit my afur.
