Interested in hearing a Somali poem? Here is a Somali poem. The poet is essentially exhorting everyone to do their best effort.

Just Listen; don't worry about understanding everything. Insha'Allah (God willing), I will endeavor to locate and translate some excellent poems for you in the upcoming days.

Hello guys, welcome back to the Podcast!

In today's episode, I teach you two new Somali Proverbs

1) Ballan darro waa diin darro

To not fulfill a promise is the same as not believing in God

2): Ama talo keen ahow ama talo raac ahow

Either propose something or agree to what's proposed by others

That's all for today. Thank you for listening and have a wonderful day/night!

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. We are all going to read this book, You can use the phrase "Waxaanu akhrin buugan" to keep some of them out. We'll read this book. Observe how the word "all" is absent from the second.

When someone is speaking to you, they would expect your full attention present. In today's episode, I teach you some of the phrases you can use to show your attentiveness.

1): Haye means "Okay", but it also serves the purpose of demonstrating your interest in hearing what the other person has to say rather than shutting them down.

Husband: I want to go to London.

Wife: Haye, what will you do in there? Enlengthen us

2): Waan gartay means "Got it, understood" or you can simply just say "gartay"

3): Ku soco means proceed, go head, keep it up

4): Waa arrin fiican means it's a good thing, decision, plan and so on

Quote of the day "Bar ama Barro" meaning "Either Teach or Learn"

Until next time, take care!

In today's episode, we've learned about 10 useful new phrases. As I have stated previously, learning new phrases is useful and can be become handy when in need. And most importantly you're learning new words within those phrases instead of learning them separately, which is a tremendous help because it would be hard to construct new phrases by just knowing random words. Where does the verb go? Where does the noun go? Do you get what I mean? however I'm not saying stop learning words, but just don't put a lot of your precious time into learning words alone. Like always, thanks for listening, until next time, take care!

Teachers are the community's backbone and students' second parents. However, they sometimes expect students to do things that they themselves are unable to do. As in the example above, the teacher was shocked and kicked out one of his students simply because he did not bring any of his books, even though the student did not specify whether he did so on purpose or not. Nonetheless, it was the student's responsibility to bring his book with him. but teachers must sometimes show mercy and overlook a student's flaw. There are always students who are not afraid, to tell the truth, such as Omar, who appears to be Ayub's friend. I'm not sure if he did it out of friendship or mercy.

Aaway, meeday all mean "where is," as in "Meeday hooyadaa?" "Where is your mom?" "Aaway aabahaa?" "Where is your dad?" However, xagee (Hagee) is simply Where without the "is." When you want to tell someone to shut up/be quiet, say "aamus." If they are numerous, simply add "a" at the end of the previous word. Aamus + a =  Aamusa = be quiet everyone/ shut up everyone. "Haye" means "OK" but  "Haa" means "Yes".  For instance, "Maad fahantay" Did you understand?  if If you understand then say "Haa" "Yes" if not say "maya" "NO".  Fasal = classroom like I said in the episode, It's an Arabic word, but we also use the English word class. So we sometimes steal words from other languages to improvise😂😂. Thank you for listening!
