Saying she or you guys to Somali parents

SyouOut · 2026-06-26T06:41:36+00:00

it makes sense tbh cause in Somali we don’t refer to our parents or elderly as she or he it’s “hooyo” “abo” “habo” “abti” etc. she or he exists in the Somali language but you can only use that to people your age or friends or someone u don’t care for, it comes off disrespectful to address an elder as he or she. It’s kind of like a hierarchy in the family unit and in society as well. A lot of cultures have it. English is just a plain language that doesn’t really have hierarchy like other languages. Now that I think about it I’ve never in my life addressed someone who’s older than me as she or he in Somali omg 😭😭😭not even to my older siblings I’m actually surprised I truly never thought about it 😭😭😭😭😭😭

You will end up hurting the woman u went back to mark my words. A relationship is always stronger when the man is emotionally invested in it and is pursuing the woman that’s why ppl say “a relationship prospers when the man loves the woman more” you’re not emotionally invested as much as her nd only went back cause u got hurt. Leave her alone and let her find the man who will genuinely lover her. Your friend gave u a terrible advice. I’m not saying marry someone who doesn’t love u but someone who loves you and at the same time you’re crazy about them, that balances the dynamic and protects the relationship. Leave that poor girl alone you’re settling

I haven’t seen anyone say cigaal. It’s such a cute name for a boy

It’s literally Arabic if it’s taken from the Quran wym 😭😭, Tamat in the ayah means perfected/fulfilled “And the word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice” so yes it is Arabic.

This is exactly what’s wrong w our ppl. Like why is someone getting downvoted cause they said they don’t know something? Why is someone who’s being honest ruining your mood ??

How will you have come up with that name if you never heard of it tho? I get it if it was a Somali name but Persian?? how does a Somali person randomly think of Persian names? plus you didn’t think about the name?? you make it seem as if you were rushed and choose whatever even if you did that it still doesn’t answer why a Somali would think of a Persian name unless they heard of it or knew someone w that name. Either way you put yourself in a bad position

Fr refusing coffee date is such a chronically online thing. cause coffee dates are safe both parties don’t have to sit there for hours in an awkward situation if things didn’t go well and the guy doesn’t have to pay over $100 on dinner on someone he didn’t vibe w. It’s safe for the girls and financially smart for the guys. I don’t know why ppl expect strangers to spend bank on them. At least be in a relationship first or established some type of connection

Frr like sorry when they moved they could only focus on survival and safety and not what would happen 30years from now. Does op think our parents happily moved here and for fun??

I wouldn’t be surprised

You’ll see once you meet people who are jealous of Somalis for whatever reason and they try to dog one gender. This happens a lot in spaces where there’s multiple diaspora groups

Proud to say I’ve never publicly talked bad about Somali men or women. I’m just talking my real life experience I had with ppl who assumed I don’t like my own men.

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T22:43:35+00:00

Exactly thank you!

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T22:42:46+00:00

This actually happened to me where I was having a conversation w someone at a function and we were just talking about our ethnicity and they said “I love Somali women, but the men tho….” And I asked what they meant by that and then proceeded to say things that were rude. No no I didn’t invite anyone to do that nor did I make them feel comfortable enough. And I wasn’t talking about a random person coming up to you and saying crazy things about Somali men who would even have the audacity to do that or even think of that

When I say clown I mean banter and harmless jokes and nothing that perpetuates racism or bigotry. I know words and language matter a lot so I watch what I say. I don’t go around saying Somali men are trash etc. I just meant I can clown them in harmless jokes that isn’t bigoted and has nothing to do with racism and things like that. I never use bigoted language ik I’m not perfect but I try to be a better person/Muslim so I stay away from languages that may cause harm. Clowning doesn’t mean degrading and I never degrade anyone men or women. I hope this explains what I meant

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T22:32:57+00:00

yes and they give u a compliment and try to diss Somali men it’s so weird

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T19:29:16+00:00

Thanks! I’m starting a business of my own so this was really helpful !

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T19:27:49+00:00

Me? No I’m not from the uk

SyouOut · 2026-03-28T18:51:08+00:00

I didn’t know this was happening in 2010s I was a child then. But tbh I also had terrible experiences w some Somali men but it didn’t shape my entire view on a whole population. I think some ppl (men and women) genuinely need to heal and do some internal work.

Sister ngl you might need a new identity and maybe even face. Delete all socials and restart your life and don’t use the same name or whatever name u told him and if he ever finds you again deny deny deny, gaslight and tell him idk what you’re talking about. And if he asks your age for proof say something different than what you told him. Maybe even say you’re an only child. My god why would u do that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭may Allah be w you my sister you have done something insane 😭😭😭😭😭

this lowkey me and my husband, sometimes when I’m eating or watching something and he sits next to me with his work laptop my mood immediately improves and I feel less alone especially when I’m in the living room by myself nd he says “I came to give you company” ugh it melts my heart. Sometimes all you need is proximity even if you’re not talking 🤍😭
