gabartey instead of gabadhey?

[angrycat]

I thought this was grammatically incorrect and weird sounding, but I hear it from some elderly somali people. Is this a common pronounciation in certain regions, or is it an acceptable pronouncation all around?

 

[Thegoodshepherd]

Both are accurate, as long as they don't say "gibirtey"
Some people in the south actually say gibir instead.

 

[BebsiBolice]

gabadheyda is the real aaf Somali.

 

[Hemaal]

Both are correct, its just different dialects, nothing to do with grammatically being inaccurate

Gabadhey. Reer xamar (cadcad) use gabartay.

They also call their wives naagtay, their husbands niinkay, adowgay.

NO that is specifically Hargeisa lingo. They don't even use the word hoyoo they say eeyah

No. I've never seen a lander use that and I know plenty of hargeisa natives.

I've heard it plenty of time. Even when they call their mothers eyah I don't know what eeyah means. It's usually elders tho.

wallahi o bilahi o tallahi i said that around my mother once as a joke nd she screamed 'watre u hawiye now'

nd my parents lived in xamar barni

 

[afrosomali]

to b fair to barni i think she means aayaa which is the polite way of saying naayaa (for family members, friends...)

Yeah we say eeyaahe when calling females usually wifey sometimes mother, and its mostly used in east SL. We never say "naagtey" to our wifey tho
