How do you say these words in somali?

[Adam]

Somalis are too savages for polite words

 

[Adam]

But thats if your reallllllly asking. How do you say it in casual conversation? fadlan sounds too formal. I guess you just say it nicely lol as in abaay, kis yar dhinacaas u siko

What's kis and siko?

Lol I made that word up. Start using it now so it catches on. I want to invent words that are soft on the tongue yet beautiful.


We use kis and siko as well. Our dialects are 100% the same.

When I don't know a Somali word I usually use Arabic or English depending on who I'm talking to.

 

[Lily]

How do you say Please in Somali.

bleeese

 

[Vision]

abaay, kis yar dhinacaas u siko would translate to 'sis move a little that way' there aint no please in there!

Fadlan is please in somali but its an arabic word

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

I can't believe nobody knows this.

Please= Fadlan.


Smh.


Wait is Fadlan Arabic?

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Waa kuu tuuga means I'm begging you.

Isn't it the same thing.

Baryo=begging.
Tuuga=begging.

Yea, fadhlan is Arabic and it doesn't even mean please. It means 'it would be better'. They also use arjuuu or you can just say min fadhlak but there's no word that directly translates to 'please'.

Disgusting, you people ruined our beautiful language,


Waa kuu tuuga means I'm begging you.

It's actually Somali smh. I recognise the foreign words easily, they are mainly Arabic. If you're disgusted at your own language Somali, then that's you.

Don't twist this around. I'm not disgusted with my own language, I'm disgusted at how you're using our beautiful language, you're bastardizing it.

There are more cadcads that speak Arabic than your language anyway, what are you worried about?

It's true, some of us have completely changed the language. If you heard my Omani grandmother speak, you wouldn't know if it's Somali or Arabic.

We speak how we want and you can speak how you want, are you afraid a few thousand people will influence your language? Dhadhaanyahoow.


Let's not derail the sister's thread. Either stay on topic or stfu.
