A question for the Ladies..

[Nabeela]

If your husband referred to you as "naagteeda" instead of "xaaskeega" to his friends, family members, etc, would you be offended?

[zulaika]

not a problem....

[yasmin]

sow naagtiisi ma'ihii like Zuleikha said no problem

[Amethyst]

Depends on the setting & the company of course. Naagteeda seems more informal to me, than offensive. Those who have a problem with the word naag, and have a preference for dumar will automatically say xaas. Those that dont, prolly wont care.

i know...

some people, like my mom don't like the word naag, so around her maybe not a good idea..

Naagteyda - My woman

When you look at it like that it has a caveman-ness to it lakin it's a word I use normally so wax xun ilama aha.

[Ganjaweed]

Would you prefer "Bahasheydii"?

[HELWAA]

Most men use..'xaajiya' when they talk about their wivs, it's more respectful.

'War xaajiyadi ban caawa meel oo raaceya ee wa ino mar kale'

What if she's never been to Hajj?

Oraahada "naag" waa la bah-dilay. Many negative words are associated with being female, the archives of this forum is full of males tyring to put each other down by accusing the other of being a naag. The term naag is no longer neutral or an objective term. Xaas is a better connatation. The only worse term than naag is "haween ta ii ama uu dhaxada" talk about TMI!!!

[Nabeela]

Personally "naagteeda" seems a bit disrespectful, I don't like the word "naag" in general wa laga ficanahay kelmadaas lol


Shirib,

I'd refeer to him as "odeygeeka" misa "haijikeega"

[Basra-]

I prefer ...Dhuqdeeydii.
