favorite vs worst somali accent

[DiricLover]

IKR, do we not have any proper words for it? I notice some Somalis steal habibi from Arabic or baby/babe from English to compensate.

There are so many but they're as cringey as eachother. Qalanjo, huno, qalbi, gacaliso and some other cringey shit

 

[DiricLover]

I love qalanjo qoor deer kkkkkk

Qalanjo, huno, qalbi, gacaliso

Is abowe/abay a reer konfur thing?


I only hear it from reer konfur

 

[Mohamud]

my mom and her family are from beidoa

their accent is so nice and soft

my uncles half sound like they're singing. thoroughly beta-male status, but nice all the same.

but that hardly feels like an accent, more like a method of speaking.

We say macaney or macanto as well lol it means sweetie

Reer waaqoyi sounds really goofy ass to me, kinda hill billyish. My favourite is af maay, I'd like to learn it one day.

The word your looking for is context, same way motherfucker doesn't usually mean that the person fucked their mother.

 

[Mohamud]

fucking ew

we need our own word for babe or something

diaspora get cracking and get creative. i'm sure we can come up with something.

i mean f*ck it, we got kawal to spread like wildfire, how hard can affectionate nomenclatures even be?

 

[Daisy]

Quruhay or Malabo...lol my aunt calls me sokoray.

My family is so sweet they give me toothache.

I happened to witness firsthand FOB shukaansi in Sweden, these people were dropping mad words like:
Nolosheyda, riyadii nafteyda, malebkeyga, indhaheyga.

 

[Mohamud]

suukoray lmfaoo

that's a first for me

 

[Daisy]

Sokaray means sugary

 

[Mohamud]

i know

i only ever got macaan and cadoow

maybe there's a dimension of love my shitbag siblings and I never reached

I'm sorry, context doesn't help there. Your brother being abowe and then calling your S/O abowe is cringey.

I have a problem with the word "daddy" in realtionships, too. That word has already been claimed and holds special value and a specific meaning.

I think that would've been a better comparison to make than MF'er, but I think that's cringey as well and a probable red flag, in my opinion.

 

[Nabeel786]

Born and bread.

Lol bro.

Ok brother.

 

[Mercury]

I cringe when ppl call me huno and who comes up with all this weird sayings like chocolatina , noloosheyda

 

[Mohamud]

i glanced over it and wallahi i repressed it

I'M DYING RIGHT NOW
