How fluent would you say your Somali is?

[iskufilann]

Mine is not fluent at all

 

[Odious Delirium]

You should put a I don't know option in there because I don't know how fluent my somali is but I don't really need to mix it with English or a some where in between option

I can speak pure Somali if I feel like it but I use English words in place if I can't think of a Somali word to use

 

[iskufilann]

Let's hear it

I cannot embarrass myself

I speak it pretty well. We were encouraged to communicate in af-Soomaali at home.

 

[Fobnimo Till I Dhimo]

My Somali is good but not perfect

Let me guess, you switch between somali arabic and english right?

I'd say decently fluent. Elders get surprised when i tell them that I'm a western breed

 

[Yaraye]

Not Arabic since I'm never in a context where I need it but I do know Arabic. It's mainly the type of somali I'm speaking to. If it's some adeer I speak only in somali if its younger people then I mix my somali and English

Unfortunately I don't think many young people even speak Somali anymore, most of my distant relatives are surprised that I do

Yaah? It’s hard to believe this since your somali writing skills are quite good unless you’ve been using google translate, or worst, chatgpt all along.
