Learn Somali Language Podcast Khadar Osman

Adoo dhaxal reebi kara

Ha noqon dhinte aan latabin

Ha noqon ruux dhinac ka raran

Dhagtaadu yay noqon mid

dhagaysata kali xumaan,

Dharaartay kugu xuntahay,

Waynaha sacabada u dhigo

Ilmada dhabanada ka tiro

Dhabarka murugada u rido

Dhaxdana himilada u xidho

Fulow guul waa dhowdahee

Rajadu yay kaa xumaan





Leave a legacy that lasts, not a story lost in space,

Don't be a forgotten face in life's race.

Choose kindness, not just for show,

In life's drama, be the hero, not the extra in tow.



When troubles knock, call on the divine line,

Dry those tears, let your laughter shine.

Keep pushing forward, success is on the go,

With hope as your guide, you'll steal the show!"



Thank your for listening, till next time, Take Care!

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.

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!
