@CushiticSomalianMale , @adikiny HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA,,, you guys must have seriuos issues with the somalis, what happend to you guys. HAHAHAHA you are saying you are somalis, and we were ensalved by arabs and habeshs/amhars, and forced to islam by them,,, first of all if the would be true we would be speaking arabic or some click toungless language, and have a weird cultrue and tradition, and ethiopia would have SEA, and somalia would be like north africa speaking arabic and saying we are arabs.

Thanks for the video man, I'm English and we're learning the Somali language now in our schools, everyone is starting to speak Somali where I live. Somali is my favourite language to speak now. Keep uploading videos please, subscribed :)

[fatamasri1965]

I am Egyptian and really want to learn Somali, because when I hear my Somali friends speaking they sound extremely awesome.

[0bittersweetapathy0]

i'm going to be teaching english to a class of somali students. can you please let me know what the big language difference is between english and somali pronunciation? i know this is a massive question, but if you could let me know if there are certain letters in english that don't exist in somali, or if you don't have long vowel sounds, i'd greatly appreciate it =)

[melthatice]

@9inchmancannon Nigger in Somali is pronounced "9inchmancannon". And Somalis stopped using clicks and ticks right about the time the gun went off and shot your prostitute mother.

[9inchmancannon]

How do you say nigger in your language? Also, when did you stop using clicks and ticks noises?

[69Razak69]

Do You Know Tha's not the way we used to wrote our somali language.....untill those fucking europe fuck't us up with they letters...go study the real

[djwasimani]

Hey thanks for posting this lesson I have a question in your second slide you said ADIGA WAXAAN AHAY ARDAY means you are student

then you said

IDINKU WAXAAD THIIN ARDAY means you are student ................how come these two sentence have same meanings. I thought adiga means you....so why are we using Idinku

[islam247able]

@djwasimani yes you are right....but when you say adiga it means you... meaning only one person

but when we say "IDINKU" that's more than one person..is like saying you guys are student.....so when you say idinku it could be 2,3,or more people and adiga is only one person.

hope that made any differences for you :)

[faker540]

@djwasimani it's adiga(you,singular) waxaad tahay arday not waxaan---- aniga, aniga waxaan ahay arday,

anaka (we) waxaan nahay arday, idinku/idinka (they) waxaad tihiin arday, ayagu( you,plural) waa arday,

arday plural, arday singular stress first two letters AR--day singular , plural stress the last two letters ar--DAY, i'm learning too.

[adikiny]

Very interesting perspective. It is in the same way that it is also said that the NEGRO who were taken away from Africa by Arabs, and dumped in Oman, Saudi Arabia etc were not forced by Arabs, but on the contrary, the NEGRO embraced the slave-traders and thanked the Arabs for making them slaves. Likewise, it can be added that the NEGRO who were taken away from Africa by Arabs were very happy to be loaded into Arab slave-ships, kicked and beaten up and then made SLAVES in Oman, Saudi Arabia etc.

[yehyeh22]

@adikiny Actually, it is not the same. There is proof that blacks from Mozambique and other countries were forced into the slave trade. Yet, while you make this comparison, you still provide no proof that supports your claims.

[adikiny]

Great. It's ridiculous to have Arabic words such as Salaam Aleikum etc replacing Somali words, greetings and Language.  In fact, about 500 years ago, Arab conquests and jihads forced the Somali to become Muslim and even abandon their own ANCESTRAL SPIRITUAL BELIEFS, IDENTITY and INDEPENDENCE. In the same way, other Africans were forced to become Christians (Judaism). This is RELIGIOUS COLONISATION because Christianity and Islam came from the Middle-East of Abraham and Moses (both were SEMITES).

[yehyeh22]

@adikiny There was no Arab conquest or jihad in Somalia. Somalis converted according to their own free will, as did Bilal, who was an Ethiopian Muslim during the time of Prophet Mohamed. If you disagree, please do list the dates of these Arab conquests/jihads on Somalia.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@yehyeh22

i agree, us Somali's where the furst african tribe especifically Kushitic tribe of africa that converted to to islam = Allah's faith.... by way of free will.. because if we got forced then you should know that us Somalians rather die, and kill the arab semite habesha crakkkers rather then accept defeat and made into slaves, just like what white christian crakkkers did to west africans

[adikiny]

Marvellous language.

1. I notice in ADIGA, pronunciation is ADHIGA. DH sounds like TH in the word they. If you say DH, does it mean that there's no sound D alone? in Somali Language?

2. Besides, where it is written B you seem to say, P, why not write it P?

This Language greatly interests me. I think the Maasai also say Suba or is it Soba as a greeting...

In Luo Language DH (dhano=human being is like sound in, they; TH (thim=forest) is like sound, think. The Luo say B for V and S for SH.

[habibainblack]

@adikiny

1. The way you are hearing him say "d" is how it is always pronounced - it's a dental consonant where the tongue touches the upper teeth, similar to a Spanish "d" if you know how that sounds. "Dh" in Somali is a letter combination that makes an entirely different sound. It's pronounced with the tongue curled and touching the roof of your mouth (there is a similar sound in hindi).

2. There is no "p" sound or written letter in Somali. I didn't hear him say "p" in the video anywhere (?)

[adikiny]

@habibainblack Thanks for the precision. I think it was simply a recording machine that wrongly echoed the sound, making the B sound like P in Somali Language Lesson 03, where there is the word "abti" (uncle from mother's side). In fact, you are right because there is no sound P anywhere else in the lessons.

Note: I am happy to discover this very beautiful Language.

@adikiny

i agree us Somalian-Kushitic Puntites of Puntland Somalia/ogadenia, we where worshipers of the Sun and also Waaq(god of the univerese) before semite arabs and habesha crakkers converted us to muslims and some of us to christians, but Prophet moses a.s was not semite, he was half hamitic-cushite and the other half was semite, a good example of how moese would look like is, how Barack hussein Obama looks like, only difference is Obama is lighterskinned whilst Prophet Moses is Darkskinned

[adikiny]

@CushiticSomalianMale

WAAG is a LUO God called WERE.

The most efficient tactic of the IMPERIAL religious or territorial master has always been that of "Divide and Rule". Example is in Somaliland which imperialists want because they would like to own the areas along the Red Sea and the passage to India. Somali is ONE because the TRIBE is ONE. There are many Clans and that is normal like in Luoland.

The Somali are descendants of OMALA, a Luo.

WERE is one of the Gods of the LUO.

[adikiny]

@CushiticSomalianMale I would add that WAAG known as WERE in Luo is also called WANG' which means the EYE (from whom nothing can be hidden, for it sees all). The LUO have got very many Gods and they are the ANCESTORS. They created the universe and the Luo. They gave birth to the Luo, they fed the Luo and they reincarnate ETERNALLY. God of rain in Koth(rain), that of war is called Lweny(war) etc.. Same way, every ancestor is a GOD and called by his/her NAMES, that are given to descendants.

[xamarcadeeye]

[fairiebee]

This was very good. Can you recommend a good text book for beginners? I am fluent in Arabic, and Russian, and have studied many other languages, so I am not looking for a tourist guide, but a serious systematic study of the language. I enjoyed this lesson.

[wduale]

Thanks a lot brother for this lesson. I appreciate it very much, thanks!

[abdikanic4]
