SOMALI TABOOS?!?!

[Mercury]

- Food
Your eating at someone’s house, and you’re being served food. You do not start eating until all guests or family members are seated this is especially true if your eating from a big plate you share with others


- Careful what u say

Somalis believe you shouldn’t say something negative about yourself that isn’t true

like my leg is broken when its not or saying stuff thats untrue about yourself they call this habaar (an ill wish)

- Say Mashallah
Some are super big on this. Especially when it comes to newborns and newly weds. You should always say Mashallah

- Wedding bride
Somalis believe a bride should not be all smiles on her wedding day she must be straight faced the entire time.

Or else she may be seen as being “too happy” Meaning she’s a little too eager to be leaving her family house or too excited for her wedding night

- No Trash at Night
Somali’s believe it’s bad luck to throw trash out at night. As they believe the devils and jinns make their homes there

If you got some more ill like to hear it

 

[Kalshaale]

I rather not mention it. Somalis knows what is taboo for them and what isn't. No reason to tell the world. It isn't their business.
