In this episode, we embarked on a journey through Somali culture, exploring its wisdom through a collection of insightful proverbs. We began by acknowledging the significant role of women in shaping success, highlighting the proverb "Rag haween ayaa kala hor mariya," which emphasizes the invaluable contributions of women as mothers, wives, and mentors to men's achievements. Transitioning to the theme of exploration and learning, we reflected on the saying "War la qabo xiiso ma leh," which encourages curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge beyond familiar boundaries. Moving on to social etiquette, we discussed the proverb "Aroos lagama raago, lagumana raago," stressing the importance of moderation and respect in attending social gatherings like weddings. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

The Somali language has just one past tense, however the English language has three: past tense (sang), present perfect (has sung), and past perfect (had sung). Verb conjugations exist. Simply add the word "ay" to the subject if it is He or I. For example, Isagu wuu arkay walaalkiis means he saw his brother. Anigu waxaan tagay suuqa - I went to the market. However, you would add the verb to "tay" if the subject is she or you, as in iyadu waxay tagtay suuqa, which means "she went to the market." , Adigu waxaad aragtay gaadhi. You saw a car. The verb would take "een" at the end if they is the subject. Iyagu waxay arkeen Bisad, meaning they saw a cat. Thanks for listening and till next time have a wonderful day!

Has Love Ever Been Blood-Written by Hadraawi? As you may have heard, Hadraawi died a few months ago. May Allah have mercy on him. Hadraawi is the Somali Shakespeare. He has composed thousands of songs and poems that have been liked and admired by Somalis and non-somalis all over the world. He discusses how he composed this song, which was sung by one of Somalia's most popular singers, Halimo Kalif, better known as Magool.

We (Somalis) are well recognized for our love for poetry, as you surely already know. And this poem is a typical example of how poetry are turned into songs. Hadraawi, a well-known figure among Somalis, is credited with writing this song. This song is about a woman who wants to convince a man she loves but is told she can't. Songs and poetry are so written to raise awareness of this situation and to encourage people to spend their time with those they love or admire rather than having their feelings rejected or ignored. I also want to point out that when you translate songs or poems from one language to another, the original meaning and sweetness are lost. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnsomalilanguage/support

I'll be doing Somali Songs' vocals exclusively in the upcoming episodes. Understanding the song's composition is crucial. You may have noticed that one "letter" appeared repeatedly throughout the song, "DH," which functions like the letter "D." It's fascinating to observe how the song was written, in my opinion.

We're focusing on a poem by renowned Somali poet Hadraawi in today's episode. Recently, Hadraawi passed away. May Allah grant him mercy. He was essentially the Somali people's Shakespeare, as I mentioned in the episode I am aware that poems can be challenging since poets must carefully select the words that best describe the situation they are describing. Therefore, don't worry if you stumble over a few words like I did. Dhalashada afkaygiyo Dhigashada fartaydaan Kaga baxay dhibaatoon Hawlihii ku dhaafee, Iyadaa dhaqaalaha Dhidibbada u aastoo Dheelliga u diiddaye, Dhulka wadajirkiisee Iyadaa dhammeesee.

In this episode, I give you some recommendations on learning Somali Language faster. I'm well aware of the limited resources that come with learning our language, but that shouldn't be an issue. Everything is accessible online because we live in a technological era now. Recommendations go as follows: 1) Start Listening More Before you try speaking any given language, you need to listen to that specific language quite often, enabling you to pronounce words native like. 2) Make use of what you already know. Use any Somali slang, idioms, expressions, or words you already know. Waiting for the ideal time is ineffective. Fear prevents us from attempting new activities. And keep in mind that you will learn more the more errors you make. 3. Instead of just learning words, focus on learning expressions, idioms, proverbs, and slang. Knowing "See tahay" meaning "How are you" is preferable to a random collection of words. That's all for today. Thank you for listening.

In the Somali language, there are two we (s). One for exclusivity and the latter for inclusivity. By using these auxiliary verbs, you can both include and exclude someone from the discussion or gathering. Waxaanu (wahaanu) for exclusivity or Waxaynu (Wahaynu) for inclusivity Let's assume, for example, that you want to invite all of your friends to an event. You can say: "Waxaynu akhrin buugan.

When asking questions, it's crucial to know the interrogative words like what, when, why, how, and where. Therefore, we'll go over those question words in today's episode while also utilizing them in complete sentences.

Maxaan qabtaa or  Maxaan sameeya?  = What should I do?  Maxaad aragtay = What have you seen? Maxaa dhacay = What happened?
