In this episode, I recap words from our previous episode like "Koob," meaning both a cup and an award. "Boob" for looting, "Roob" for rain, "Goob" for a place, "Gob" for remarkable, nice and "Gun" for undesirable, bad. If someone say hebel waa gob - it means so and so is good/ generous person - but if they say hebel waa gun-it mean so and so is bad/ stingy .

Adoo dhaxal reebi kara
Ha noqon dhinte aan latabin
Ha noqon ruux dhinac ka raran
Dhagtaadu yay noqon mid
dhagaysata kali xumaan,
Dharaartay kugu xuntahay,
Waynaha sacabada u dhigo
Ilmada dhabanada ka tiro
Dhabarka murugada u rido
Dhaxdana himilada u xidho
Fulow guul waa dhowdahee
Rajadu yay kaa xumaan
Leave a legacy that lasts, not a story lost in space,
Don't be a forgotten face in life's race.
Choose kindness, not just for show,
In life's drama, be the hero, not the extra in tow.
When troubles knock, call on the divine line,
Dry those tears, let your laughter shine.
Keep pushing forward, success is on the go,
With hope as your guide, you'll steal the show!"
Thank your for listening, till next time, Take Care!

In this episode, we embarked on a journey through Somali culture, exploring its wisdom through a collection of insightful proverbs. We began by acknowledging the significant role of women in shaping success, highlighting the proverb "Rag haween ayaa kala hor mariya," which emphasizes the invaluable contributions of women as mothers, wives, and mentors to men's achievements. Transitioning to the theme of exploration and learning, we reflected on the saying "War la qabo xiiso ma leh," which encourages curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge beyond familiar boundaries. Moving on to social etiquette, we discussed the proverb "Aroos lagama raago, lagumana raago," stressing the importance of moderation and respect in attending social gatherings like weddings.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

The Somali language has just one past tense, however the English language has three: past tense (sang), present perfect (has sung), and past perfect (had sung). Verb conjugations exist. Simply add the word "ay" to the subject if it is He or I. For example, Isagu wuu arkay walaalkiis means he saw his brother. Anigu waxaan tagay suuqa - I went to the market. However, you would add the verb to "tay" if the subject is she or you, as in iyadu waxay tagtay suuqa, which means "she went to the market." , Adigu waxaad aragtay gaadhi. You saw a car. The verb would take "een" at the end if they is the subject. Iyagu waxay arkeen Bisad, meaning they saw a cat. Thanks for listening and till next time have a wonderful day!

The words "hey" are Waryaa and Naayaa. Though they all mean “hey” you should practice with caution in some situations. You don’t wanna say “naaya” to a Somali lady and get slapped 🤣. For some Somali women, the word "naaya" is offensive. Although it's quite normal in some parts of Somalia, particularly the north, it's somehow seen as belittling women. For men, waryaa is hey. Calling adults waryaa will come out as impolite and disrespectful, thus it's best to address teenagers as waryaa instead. Say "adeer," "just adeero," or "abbti," which means "uncle," to grownups.

You might have heard someone asking you, "Hooya ma joogtaa?" is mom there? How do you respond without getting stuck? Hooyo ma joogtaa? or Hooyadaa ma joogtaa? "is your mom there?if she isn't there just say, "Hooyo ma joogto" instead of saying "Hooyo ma taalo". Taalo or taalaa or yaalaa is used for non-living things like.
