Am I unreasonable

[AGENT447]

Your sister in law has no shame- you were moaning about gold-diggers yet you've been taken for a ride by a woman who gives you nothing in return. ... Even your brother shouldn't get iphone - you act so streetwise but you ain't.

Oh Agent you're such stirrer!! I feel bad now.

Sum I meant it in good way - sisterly advice -

[AbdiWahab252]

Blame it on the kenyan customs seizing the other phone.

[kadarre]

Lol lies like that will actually make you save face.

Why would I like ma ayakaa wax iidhiibtay? Waxaan ku oran taleefan waad haysatiin ee hadaad rabtiin iphone ka keena galaxy ga.

[Hyperactive]

exactly bro. AW ba ko yiri lie about it. maha dambigas ko dibtay.

Waraa Sumu, don't embarrass yourself. If your sister-in-law made a request to you to buy a phone for her, do it, and don't hesitate it to the best of your ability. That is Somali dhaqan 101. It is called hadiyad.

If the phone is too expensive for you, buy a cheaper phone that is an Android phone. Right now, my phone is BLU Android phone and it costed me $100.00. I had it for about a year now and it is still working. So, buying a her a cheaper phone would satisfy her need for a phone and will give you a good reason to tell her that "Dummashi, the other phone was $800.00 and due to my busy schedule, I couldn't get a time to shop for one which is less expensive." That should give you a good face saving measure, and if she complains about the type of the phone, her husband should tell her "naa Samsung madaa iska leh. Haddaad leedahay orodoo 100 telephone kasoo qaado. Haddii kale Sumu telephon kuu keenye nagadaa hadalka."

One more advice, never announce to people backhome when you're going there. Just arrive there unexpected. In that case, you will not have to deal with all of the requests of buying stuff from relatives.

gegoroor, it's wrong to begin with to ask her bother in law. islantu hishood ma leh. mey nin keeda weydisato, marka horaba.

anika iyo sister in law, mahaba isken baray!

Hyper, if her husband is not buying for her and she has children with him, she can make the demand to dumaashi Sumu. Sister-in-law with children usually has more leeway than those without children in Somali dhaqan. For Sumu, it is better he buys a phone that he can afford - no matter the type of phone - and give it to his dumaashi. That will satisfy her need for a phone, and it will give him a good face saving measure. He needs to say that the company who made the cheaper phone is a new company that makes better phones. That way, everyone is happy.

[Hyperactive]

no brother, that is wrong. daqan soimali ma aha.

ninkeeda, ha so dirto ha dey rabto. mobile isnt death and life issue. dadkan wey daqan homaden.

[Susu000]

I'm confused. In order for your dumaashi to get her iPhone your other brother has to give up his phone ? Why are you dragging in a person who's not involved in your phone donation crusade ?

Ugaas, dumaashi does not want any phone. She specifically wants Iphone cusub ( Iphone 5 or 6). That will cost me $400. In my budget, I will be in africa for 6 weeks insha allah. I have $3000/6= will be about $500 a week. So buying her Iphone will make me short of money for a week. Also, Since her and her husband live in the same house, I thought the husband can use a little phone that my younger brother is currently using and give up his galaxy s4 to the little brother so that dumaashi gets the new Iphone 5. That seem to be a good deal. There are 3 phones already in the family. The not too expensive phone that my little brother is using, The galaxy s4 and the new Iphone. It has to be shared between the 3 of them. So its not a matter of buying an extra phone. Its a matter of switching them around.

I am dragging him into this because he married the dumaashi and dragged me into this. I did not know the dumaashi before he met her. So either way, Him and his wife means one to me. They give up the galaxy s4 to get the new iphone and small used iphone.

Buy her a second hand phone off of Craigslist, they are cheap
