Back to the topic..

The problem is you guys don't know the language perfectly so why would you translate? There are many idioms that you would never understand..e.g.

1.Waa la I wheliyaa.
2.Waa la I sitaa.
3. Waan isku dhex yaacay.
4. Waa la ciijiyaa.
5. Waan sakatisanahay.
6. Waan saaqanahay.
7. Waan siloonahay.
8. Waa la igu dhan yahay.
9. Waan jeelay.
10. Waan wiiqmay.
11. Waan togmay.
12. Waan wasiisiyey.
13. Waan iska aalaa lee.

Waan waan waan etc etc etc.. :lol: :lol:
My grandmother use some of these words! eitherway I understand most of them.
