Seasons in Somali

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2022/09/12

Four seasons: Gu' (spring) Xagaa (summer) jiilaal or diraac (diraa') (winter) dayr (fall or autumn) Spring is really a season of celebration for the nomads. However, people in the rural area don't really care about alternating weather conditions. They can have their celebration anytime they want. The way we calculate someone's age is based on how many springs they've lived. weird, right? I will talk about this in another episode insha Allah (God-willing) Keep learning, Keep having fun! ---

More on "Leeyahay and Haystaa"

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2022/07/07

Leeyahay and haystaa are synonyms and you're more than welcome to use them interchangeably. As I've mentioned in the episode the word leeyahay shows an absolute ownership whereas haystaa indicates a temporary ownership. But that's only if you want to take a look at the equation from one angle. Technically, they mean the same thing!

Money

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2022/06/07

We do not pluralize when it comes to money. You know how in English you must add the "s" to satisfy the quantity of dollars you are talking about. For instance, you ought to say, "I have a dollar and I have two dollars and 10,000 dollars with the "s" if it's more than a dollar. Somali is quiet the different. It does not matter how much money you are talking about. You would still say dollar or pound or rupe. So don't be surprised when you hear one of us saying, "i have two dollar or I have 5 dollar

Generosity is something that every nation needs to have in order to help its people and it does indeed bring people together. Our generosity is kinda special though. You might see someone traveling throughout the country (Somalia) without comprehensive provision knowing that strangers along the way are more than happy to support them throughout their journey. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

Somali naming

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2022/05/06

Somali naming usually goes like this. Your first name, your father's first name and your grandfather's first name. For instance, Khadar (my first name), Muktar (my father's first name) and Osman (my grandfather's first name). And this is why I was saying when you call out for a somali person, always call out their first name. They are more likely to respond to that. And I feel like last names are a way of identifying yourself. But in everyday life, FIRST NAMES are more important then last

In Today's eposide, we will take a closer look at when Somali langauge was written and why it took so long to put the language into a written form. When you have a written language, history will be preserved. Somali language was written in 1972 to 1973 by Said Barre's administration. Although it was a military government and run the government for 21 years. One of the most important thing they have done was "writting the Somali language fo the first time in history".

The difference between "Haystaa and Leeyahay"

2021/10/12

In today's episode, I answer two questions that I was recently asked by one of you guys. The difference between "Haystaa and Leeyahay". Well, there is no difference between these because they mean the same thing. Some people use "haystaa" instead of Leeyahay. They might say "Waxaan haystaa gaadhi" meaning "I have a car". Some people might prefer using "leeyahay" which literally means the same thing. "I have a car". I mean if someone says "I have a car" and another person says "I got a car" don't

In this episode, I teach you how you can give "verbal commands" in Somali. Hopefully, after this new episode, you will be able to give commands in Somali or at least will know something about it.
