Somali kids everywhere have the ability to compose rap like texts;There are many forms of these:

This is common in the middle regions;

Sac la boorey booraankiisa geed la saaray
Saarankiisa, geedkii ayaa caleemooday
Caleentii aay riyihii daaqeen
riyihii aad mudmud dhiiqey
Mudmudkii aay duqdii maashay
Duqdii ayaa gorgoroowday
Gorgorkii aa baadi doono
Baadidii buu bahal la'aayey

Another one on the issue of Dhuuso;
Dhuuso, dhuuso malmaleey
Ninkii dhuuso waa tilmaan waa takoor
Talka reer abtigiisa
Xaar ku tili
Talin yarow
dhuubataay is barkaay
waa tan iyo wiil laabe

I play taraq all the time as well as Laduu (Greenday's dhadhuu?) and my favorite card game iskaalo

Ive never heard of this sac thing but i know aqwaan muslimiin arooskisa eeya laqalaa imamaayo and another that went like geelow gumbululux cant remember the rest


Yes, dhadhuu love taraq and turub during ramadan fooro with bur ama biyo liss cabsiinayo

Green, if you are talking about the board game shaped like a giant cross with numbers 1-6 then 7-12 then safe zones and each person plays with 4 coins or stones, it's called "Laduu" walaashiis not Dhadhuu. Actually a buddy of mine brought a real nice wooden board made by Somalis in Uganda professional and everything but I lost it while moving out of a place last year. My addicted friends and I use one made out of a cereal box when we play every once in a while now

Haa its that game lakiin its called dhadhuu ive always called it dhadhuu laduu doesnt even sound Somali

Yeah, trust me its called Laduu, you misheard it lol. Lol @ biyo lays cabsiinayo...when I was learning iskaalo my older bros wanted to play with dambas (ashes) to smack you in the face if you lost like it was done back home. Suffice to say it never took place cuz they new better trying to do that shit to us

We use flour here (dambaas back home) and they dont hit you in the face thats just something ur brothers wanted to do to you they put a mark on your face and if you keep losing you end up looking like a clown, the biyo is meeeean walahi but its fun to see people downing garoofo biya

I do have a tendency of mispronouncing some somali words lakiin ill stick to this one we need,Twist, Lamagoodle or D&M here
