When folks call you Somalian

[CrossEdge]

FFS top cringe how many times do I have to explain that the suffix an isn't what Somalis add when describing their nationality

 

[John Michael]

Call them norwegianese or findlandish.

Theyll figure it out.

I feel like they're doing it on Purpose btw the ones who do are Cadaan Brits

That's probably the worst insult for a scot.

You just have to be petty. They'll get angry but not enough to get back at you.

I have a really simple basic name (two syllables) that's somewhat common in the west and when I wanna annoy an cadaan I don't like, I help them pronounce my name correctly or spell it for them. They end up feeling/looking stupid.


Ive lived with these people too long. Im just like them.

Having to explain for the third time is something i can't do he keeps calling me Somalian I jab him with the label English

Setting me back won't become a likely scenario because thankgoodness some teachers can vouch for my Biology performance

What is the big deal with that? I.never seem to get it. "Somali , "Somalian" are close

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

Black folks started calling Minneapolis, Somaliapolis.





P.s


When people ask me if I am Somalian, I simply say NO. And then they proceed to ask what am I then, I tell them I am Somali. They usually feel stupid or get mad after that. But I don't give a hoot.

We had a Lithuanian lecturer cover one of our lectures and this guy was walking about, he spotted my Somali friend who was sitting two rows down and asked if he was Eritrean to which he replied "Nah, I'm Somalian", I interrupted quicker than Kanye and revoked his citizenship nacalaa "Be proud of your Eritrean heritage, nothing wrong with being Eritrean".

Somalian is used in an insulting manner. It makes you feel dirty when someone calls you a Somalian.

Lmfao who is the idiot who can't comprehend? I said Somali and Somalian are close enough saacyahay, not that we call ourselves Somalian.

I assume people do it without the intention of doing so since you usually add 'an' to places that end with vowels e.g. Djiboutian
