Why are somali analogies so weird

[convincation]

Like they really couldn’t just get to the point with it like what does “indho ooyse ilin kama imaan” or “afwaakin mayla ka aamin” mean the most random things to ever exist by far are somali analogies

Your somali elders were probably just bewildered ur like the rarest mix. Or because of the muslim and jewish divide despite what u think somali elders really aren't that traditional.

unless you’re extremely cultured it’s very hard to translate somali sayings word by word. You just have to memorize the meaning as a whole and then break it down. The grammar is pretty weird and many of the words aren’t even used anymore. for example the first example he used says:

“Eyes that ??? have no tears”. what the frick is ooyse? The only word that I can think of would be “to cry” and “eyes that cry have no tears” makes no sense.

According to my mum the first means someone that cries a lot his tears don’t mean much and the second means just because you have a mouth doesn’t mean the truth will come out of it. You see what I mean they coulda just said it like normal humans why’d they have to add all these twists and turns

It basically means if you cry a lot your tears loose value

'Eyes that have cried have no tears'
If you had just used the present perfect tense 'have cried' you could have translated it perfectly

ohhh that makes a lot more sense. So an interpretation of it would be:
“eyes that cry [often] have no [meaningful] tears”.

That makes sense. You just have to analyze it and think of tears as metaphorically.
