In the somali/english dictionary logic/philosophy in afsomali is 'mandaq'

Is this accurate?


Man is derived from maan which is basically mind/intelligence but wat about 'daq'?

Mandaq is from arabic منطق and means rational or speech.

I'm not really sure if it exists but

Since philosophy means 'love of wisdom'

We can make our own word isn't it?

I would go with Aqoonmajeer or Abwanmajeer

Aqoon/Abwaan = wisdom
majeero = to intensely long for something.

I tried! LOL.

I've seen similarities between the two languages countless times whether it's through text or speech. It's pretty interesting actually.

Yeah out of the 3 id rather arabic.

But we're Somalis, we need to make sure to keep creating new Somali words. They made lots of new words during the barre days but then we stopped for some reason and went back to taking up foriegn words.
And even worse, we are replacing native words with foreign ones.

That's true. I think there are still some organisations for Afka Soomaaliga and they're introducing new words.

Hope we can be come self reliant and stop borrowing words.
