Ok bro, my bad.

I used to attend private school in Somalia where we were taught English. There used to be something called debates on every wednesday where a person stands up and picks any other person and they have a discussion until one of them makes an error. Needless to say, I was an obnoxious child and I used to ditch everyday but would, out of stupidity, show up on wednesdays. One day a girl picked on me and she destroyed me. I was going there for months and I only picked up "how are you" and "I am fine". The girl that teared me apart sounded just like her and as soon as she was done, the class picked up where she left by chanting "shame on you". I still remember those chants.


This girl looks like the type who terrorizes students in her class if they do something similar.

Lool The good old days. I know exactly what you are talking about. It was called Dialogue rather than Debate and yes it use to take place on Wednesdays. I can not relate to you being terrorised by a girl though, coz I was quite good at it. My older brother and I use to attend these classes as far as I can remember, although strangely enough, I can't recall most of the encounters loool....We started it in Hargeisa and it was known as " Adlas/Atlas" dont ask me what it means, and then in Borama and it's just known simply as Private.

Walaahi runta ilahayba jecele I am extremely fond of those days and I think thats why I am a bit more protective of this girl lol....

Alla do you remember the pple who use to attend these classes? They were the vip, who is who of the ends, yacni ciyalka middle classka ayaa dhigan jiray....Gabadhba gabadhay ka khatarsantahay/quruxbadantahay , ee ay ka rer magalsantahay ayaa mesha iskugu iman jiray....Ciyaalkani maxay ka garanayaan.

@Sultan, Save bro.

The guy on the Left ... what's wrong with his mouth?

If the goes to the west, she might become a feminist

Good thing though. She's great.

I think so Abti Ilaahi ha daayo waa inan dadaalaysa

Agent:I just hope she doesn't come across the comments,it'll destroy that confidence you described

Yeah my junior. Basically taking a Somali use of a word and thinking you can use an English translation in the same context.

My "sista" !

waxaa mooda inee quraan ka baxayso.

Burco waa halyay dhala!.


Kalsooni ayay nafteeda ku qabtaa. Kuwan aan kalmad Soomaaligay u dhasheen ah qori karin ayaa English bay khaladay ku haysta haysta. Waa anigoo qof cadaana ka suga inuu luuqadayda barteeda dhigo.

There are some people who can't even utter a word in English. At least she tried. Let's applaud her for her efforts

sounds like she's a diaspora chick making a mockery of the accent by intentionally speaking broken english

She is cute.
