Lady Enlightened~Sista, reer baadiye have akhlaaq in their own way. You may want advise them to behave but if I were you I would not generalize all of reer Baadiye Remember, we are all descedents of reer Baadiye and farmers.

Anyhow, I would normally ignore unless I know them very well and know that person will listen to what I'll say but if I am not sure of the person, act as if I don't see him/her and walk away!!

Reer Baadiye = Modesty, heartfull people, soulfull people, good intentions

Reer Magaal = Originators of homosexuality, lewdness, tyranny, bad manners

Correct me if Im wrong but Reer Baadiye are more civilised than Reer Magaal.

It wouldn't affect me at all. It aint like I know them or are related to them.

Like you said they are just a 'fellow' Somali.. Nothing more!!

Okay maybe the generalisation was uncalled for, but seriously 'please' 'thankyou' and 'sorry' should be the first words one learns when you settle here.I was in disbelief, mar baan islahaa walaal dee adigaa ninkan ka qaldan eey meesha ka durug dadku ha maaraan, ninkii tries to get to the seat and this lady gets angry and tells him 'excuse me! why are you jumping me' lool cadaan old guy is like ' why am i ....? then she goes ' why you jumping me ' 'jumping you? ' he retorts back loool laakin afkeygaan iska haystay.Before this the same lady, asks a mixed race lady reading a newspaper to move and give way she's sat next to her, mixed raced lady thinks she's about to get off the bus GETS up and dutifully moves and this Somali lady just plonks on her seat after changing her mind mixed raced lady asks her to move up so she could sit

and you guessed it without so much as a 'sorry'.Earlier on in the day I was on another bus ..two somali ladies, one lady asks a white man what time it is and he tells her and smiles.I don't think she even said thanks, because the guy looked at her a bit surprised.Tolay dadkan maxaa ka si ah?

What i've learnt is that It's apart of our dageen not to say thanks or please

Dunno ask me why... it just is.

So we basically lack manners? That same lady who asked the cadaan dude the time only said 'ohhh!' when the cadaan guy pointed to her little baby oo masaasadda ruxruxayey ( it's full of milk mind you ) sorryna way quudikariweyday? She just took the masaasad away.. some of that milk might have fallen on the man's trousers!

Thanks, please, iyo sorry maba isticmaalno Soomaalidu. There was a story in a town in Tennesee where Somalis work in a meat factory and this town being deep down South in the USA did not have much exposure to foreigners in the past. When huge influx of Somalis went there for work, the next thing that ccurred was a cultural clash. The complaints from city inhabitants were they don't say thank you, please, sorry, and not being very considerate. I would say the least you can tell them is to remind them we are in a foreign land and we should use those 'magic' words.
