We (Somalis) are well recognized for our love for poetry, as you surely already know. And this poem is a typical example of how poetry are turned into songs. Hadraawi, a well-known figure among Somalis, is credited with writing this song. This song is about a woman who wants to convince a man she loves but is told she can't. Songs and poetry are so written to raise awareness of this situation and to encourage people to spend their time with those they love or admire rather than having their

I AM SOMALI

Since the poet uses words that are highly appropriate and hardly ever utilized by everyday people, it would be difficult to interpret word for word. Thus, translating the stanzas: lines of the poem as a whole rather than word by word would be simple. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

This song was also written by Hadraawi (may Allah have mercy on him). It's nicely put together, and mothers do deserve uncodnitional love and care. FYI: The song is longer than this.

I'll be doing Somali Songs' vocals exclusively in the upcoming episodes. Understanding the song's composition is crucial. You may have noticed that one "letter" appeared repeatedly throughout the song, "DH," which functions like the letter "D." It's fascinating to observe how the song was written, in my opinion. Somali love songs have a strong presence in our literature.. Insha'Allah, I'll be doing poems, "vocals" for Somali songs, and

We're focusing on a poem by renowned Somali poet Hadraawi in today's episode. Recently, Hadraawi passed away. May Allah grant him mercy. He was essentially the Somali people's Shakespeare, as I mentioned in the episode I am aware that poems can be challenging since poets must carefully select the words that best describe the situation they are describing.

In the Somali language, there are two we (s). One for exclusivity and the latter for inclusivity. By using these auxiliary verbs, you can both include and exclude someone from the discussion or gathering. Waxaanu (wahaanu) for exclusivity or Waxaynu (Wahaynu) for inclusivity Let's assume, for example, that you want to invite all of your friends to an event. You can say: "Waxaynu akhrin buugan.

Is it Somalians or just Somalis?

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2023/02/25

In this episode, I respond to a recent query on whether to use the term "Somalians " or "Somalis" when referring to Somali people The correct term is simply Somalis because Somali is both our language and nationality. Although saying "Somalians" is grammatically incorrect, doing so wouldn't be harmful. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

Therefore, we'll go over those question words in today's episode while also utilizing them in complete sentences. (if it's easy for you to pronoun "h" instead of the "x" in Somali words, feel free to do so) Sidee = how Maxay = what why = sabab/maxaad who = kuma (for males) and tuma (for females) where = xagee (Hagee) When = goorma Siday ku dhacday = How did that happen?

Technically, you move when you get married. if we take out the first letter in guur the "g" we're left with "uur" which means pregnancy. Typically, you would expect pregnancy after marriage.

Birthdate Vs Somalis

We don't really think much about our birthdays. In actuality, neither I nor the majority of Somalis are sure of our exact birthdate. We don't utilize the Gergorian calendar when calculating age, as I mentioned in the episode. We use seasons instead—weird, huh? We simply use season to season to have a whole year rather than waiting until May to May. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support
