How to say Cousin in Somali (Different variances)

[Hemaal]

I mean who the hell says "Ina ededaa or Ina habreed"

 

[Zayd]

I mean who the hell says "Ina ededaa or Ina habreed"

Never heard of that, in hargeisa they call their sisters children ina abti.

 

[Inactive]

Confusing language, especially when it comes to cousins.

There should just be one word for it.

 

[Jeesto]

Calling your cousin, ina habreedka sounds like cay and disrespectful

 

[sosomali]

Who on earth says adoo-ga for father though??

 

[black]

Where do they say adoo/adoo-ga?

And I'm assuming walaal-sha should be walaasha

 

[fox]

Basic:
Habar wadaag
Ina adeer
Ina abti

For your 1st cousins:
Habar wadaag ruma
Ina adeer ruma
Ina abti ruma

For your 2nd and 3rd cousins:
Habar wadaagayga labaad
Habar wadaagayga sedaxaad

Anything after 3rd become Tol (in my opinion)

This is correct.

Back in my day when I was a young lad learning about the "Geeljire Miyi" Culture, I was taught about how you should say cousins.

I believe Somalis should learn about their honorable "Geeljire Miyi" culture and drop the "Madow/Madow/Adoon Hip-Hop (Bood Bood) iyo Dancehall (Wagwan, Mi Name Juuuulius!)" Culture.

However I was too lazy to say "ina adeer" or "ina abti" and just would say "walaalo" to my cousins

Question: Is "mahadsanid" slang? Isnt it "Waad mahadsantahay"?

Mahadsanid = Thanks
Waad mahadsantahay = Thank you

Waad mahadsantahay = Thank you

Person A: orad koobka ii so qabo
Person B: waa hagaag
*Person B gets the cup*
Person B: hoo koobka
Person A: waad mahadsantahay

Or

Person A: orad koobka ii so qabo
Person B: waa hagaag

Mahadsanid sounds off sounds like slang. Must be a reer koonfured thing

It is slang, mahadsanid is just used if your too lazy to say the full "waad mahadsantahay".
