Teacher VS His Students
from Learn Somali Language Podcast Hosted by Khadar Osman
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!
