favorite vs worst somali accent

[Daisy]

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

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

Looool. What?

The other two sound like what Arabs say. They say "my eyes", "my life" to each other as endearments.

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.

You find it cringey but things have their cultural context, same way guys in the west find it really gay to hold their friend's hand while back home it's normal. Some people like saying daddy, others papi and some say abowe, never really cared myself.

huno sounds like something your mother would say to a child. its just sounds so awkward. watch somalis start baby taking like asian couples

You don't get to call me daddy unless I'm your sugar daddy.

 

[Mohamud]

yeah then it's acceptable

you earned the right then

 

[Suxuufi]

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?

I ain't calling my wife babe or soft shit in somali, "Naa kaalay, adi iyo dabodaada buuran" ayaan orandoona

I like the standard accent I hear on BBC and VOA. I dislike the extreme accents, be they Southie or Waqooyi.

When my ancient first car breathed it's last, I used to carpool with a friend on the way to work before I could replace it. Dude coworker of mine, after seeing me get dropped off quite a few times without actually seeing the driver, actually eventually asked me if that was my suga-daddy! My mouth dropped. Must've the black-on-black on tinted look, but it was a goddamn KIA lol! That was when I started calling his gf KitchenAid, after he told me about buying her a KitchenAid mixer due to her love of baking.

@Nin xun I suffer from chain-thinking. The memory was triggered by your "suga-daddy" comment lol.

[Suxuufi]

Any accent is alright... Some deep southerners sound like dyslexic deaf ppl when speaking Somali
