What's up with

[John Michael]

Somali people responding to me in English when I speak to them in somali. I went to a well known xaawalad and I spoke to the teller in somali and for the whole exchange he spoke to me in English while I kept replying in Somali.

I genuinely believe I speak somali fluently now. But it seems no matter they can tell it doesn't come naturally, why do they respond in English when I can speak in Somali? This happens with everyone as well not just xaawalaads.

Lol keep speaking in af Somali to the neef Is he fluent in English or is it jajab?

 

[John Michael]

I'd say fluent but even esl somali habros switch up to English when they hear me

I'll admit that I can't pronounce Dh sound but I have a wide vocabulary.

 

[Figo]

Naa maxa tidhi
I'd rather use R in this particular case

Qowdhan's are forever mis using DH.

It's maybe cause you dressed westernised & they're dumbfounded thinking naagtan gaalka ah Somali ku hadleyso maxa weeye Taalo lol

The opposite happens with me. Somalis get huffy or depressed if I speak in English. Even ciyaalka xaafadda reply in broken Somali.

That always happens to me wallahi. I speak in Afsomali to Somali elders and they always speak in English with me. I laugh and eventually switch to English and all of the sudden they turn deaf and switch back to Afsomali.


I'm always like this
