Is Naayaa offensive?

[anyways]

HELLL NOOO, I WILL KILL A NIGGA IF HE DARES TO CALL ME NAAYAA

Naaya is not offensive. If a girl says waryaa you funny you not gonna take it bad. What matters is what comes after naaya

naaya cunto ii suubi = a request meaning neutral

naaya waad qurux badantahay = a compliment meaning positive

naaya waad foolxuntahay = a diss meaning negative

You don't call naaya to someone who is serving you you fucking asshole

Calling a lady naaya is disrespectful and women don't use naaya to other women they don't know

Naayaa has a slight negative connotation while Waryaa doesn't. Weird. But Warya can also be offensive when used to refer to a middle aged or older man.

I didn't expect you to be that fluent in somali

I would think you would use the word nayaa. I’m surprised.

I am fluent in Somali. I just don't post in it because I don't want to post mistakes in the sacred language.

There’s so many words that one can u instead of nayaa

Like abaayo walaal huuno etc

Let’s not offend one another

To me nayaa is equivalent to someone whispering . I just find it offensive maybe because of the sound. It starts with a harsh consonant. If my mum ever used it, it was because I was in trouble. My dad used to use it when I was a kid. But obviously stopped saying that word.

 

[Kamma]

do u say dumar or dhumar? It is a offensive word just like the N word

It sounds posh and formal.

naaya has its context

older person to young girl- it means "young lady" (as in young lady! get over here)
among girl friends- no negative connotation

random girl/women says it-fighting words

husband calling his wife: playful disrespect, similar to saying "woman"

random man says it, extreme disrespect, like calling a woman the b word

 

[Daacad90]

Yes.

When it comes to mature conversation, naaya cannot be substituted for "young lady". Nayaa is used to a women who is not worthy of respect. Somalis aren't respectful people so they often call nayaa to xalimo they think don't deserve respect such as maids, livestock herders or teenage girls etc..

young lady as an admonishment (used in north america at least, maybe its not used where your from) but the context is basically the same

He’s right, nayaa is disrespectful. If you are being condescending you would say gabaryahay (even gabarey) but not nayaa as it is very disrespectful and ceeb.

 

[Shmurda]

That's how I imagine @Shmurda picking up girls, screaming "nayaa".

You're not wrong

[Gallant]

If a nigga calls me 'warya' I assume he is gay.
