[quote="Gifted"]I use this forum sometimes to practice writing..its fun..just write anything..be creative..add something new..try different expressions..something out of the ordinary for you..just be insane[/quote]

Where do you practice? If u end up writin things that don't make sense, one will only look stupid....We should create a thread where we just talk in Somali...Even if what we're saying doesn't make any sense.

Snow flakes...

All you have to worry about is the following:

Dh, Sh, Kh, Q, these are not in the regular alphabet;

Dh...Like when you want to say.. Dhar
Sh...Like when you want to say...Shankaroon
Kh...like when you want to say..Khadra...
Q...Like when you want to say..Qaad

and the vowls which are called:

Shaqalka gaaban; A, E, O, I and U

Shaqalka dheer: AA, EE, OO, II, OO..

Bar( Teach) and Baar( bar)
Dheg(ear) and Dheeg(Name)
Bog (Page) and boog( Wound or scar)
Cir(Sky) Ciir (Butter milk)
Tuf( Spit) Duuf ( buger)

The easiest way is to memorize words....Like "kulaha", waxaa" "mantaa" etc. Or else it's gonna be like learning a whole new language with all the rules.

[Shirib]

Lool, I said how are u

[PINK_BUNNY]

What funny dialect u speak gifted. LOOL....What do you call a sock in Somali? And a blanket?

[Gifted]

oh shirib...loool I get it now

Pink_Bunny....I speak my own made up dialect..seriously..i think I made it up.....I'd call a blanket..busto I guess..and I call socks..socks looool

[PosH]

Oh I didn't even consider the whole dialect thing. Maybe learning Somali on Snet isn't such a good idea after all. My parents already tell me that I speak Somali like a boran. Speaking in a mix of dialects wouldn't be that great of an idea.

Af somali haddii aad taqananid sida loogu hadlo qoridiisu iyo akhriskiisu waa sahal ... waxaa jirta buugago badan oo loogu tala galay dadka ku dhashay ama kusoo koray qurbaha qaas ahaan wadamada reer galbeedka

Shirib,

Af maay waa uun af somali heestii Xasan adan samatar

hadal uur ku yaala afka hade waa is haayi waytee
ma hergelow, ma harsadoow adi hortee roogtee
hargela barida hoyaay jawab ma haytee
