Things that make you love being Somali.

[Gibiin-Udug]

We are not sensitive people. I like that.

We have the best shaax. Haters can kick rocks.

We are hospitable people, we will welcome every Somali person into our home.

We respect our elders-- They are automatically our Aunt, uncle, Ayeeyo, awoowe. Aboowe, abaayo.

We know how to travel whether it's on plane, boat, bus. Literally

We have the best canjeelo or laxoox.

We have 1827384939282728 cousins.

[Tramo]

i like the sense of community and tight knitted-ness we have. if u judged by this site or somnet u would think that somalis didnt f*ck with each other at all, but irl there is a togetherness where we help each other and befriend one another on the basis of somalinimo

idk if it's because we're in the diaspora or w/e but it's a beautiful thing

We are good scammers and we make good partners in crime, the amount of guys who can do deets

Comes with being able to tell your people apart in a crowd. One of the few groups that can do that no problems. Another perk we can add.

 

[Caano]

That little smirk we make when crossing paths and we instantly proceed to make salaams like the concept of stranger never existed
I dont know about yall but that shit makes my day everytime.
Some say is annoying getting interrogated by random aders/abtis asking how your day was but i say S/O to them they the real MVPs

 

[Mohamud]

Adeers can get a little annoying when they are legit from your neighbourhood for the sheer fact that they never get you at a great time.

Grandpas on the other hand always impart wisdom when you need it most

I was lost some where close to the Dubai/Oman border and a random Somali guy recognized I was Somali and need assistance.
