- In this quick video I just go over 4 (or kind of 5) of the most common greetings in Somali! Enjoy!
Subax wanaagsan - Good morning
Galab wanaagsan - Good afternoon
Fiid wanaagsan - Good evening
Habeen/ habeyn/cawo wanaagsan - Good night
I'm an Indigenous women who is currently working with immigrants and newcomers in a nonprofit with a predominantly Somali based clientele. This has been super informative and I will continue to learn from you inshallah. Usually everyone says salam alaykum but one of my Somali coworkers has been teaching me the Somali spoken greetings. But I wasn't sure about pronunciation. I had to slow the video down a smidgen to better understand/memorize but this is great. Appreciate it!
Some of the women who work with me have become so comfortable they've forgotten I don't speak Somali and explain something to me before we all laugh but in the new year I want to learn to understand enough to converse with them. Thank you for this, mashallah, I googled pronunciation and this was the first video! 🙏🏻
I really appreciate you sam and love how you're learning and teaching the knowledge you've accumulated on the somali language and people. If i can give you one point however, please refrain from jumping to conclusions on mere linguistic similarities. Somali has some arabic borrowed words from arabic strongly based on religious ideals, but each have a common somai word equivalent still used in our language. It'll be somewhat ethnocentric to assume basic words such as morning, "subax" and have been borrowed when infact thr word malin is often used in its place.
Other words may or may not be from arabic as there aren't grounds to say so. It could be the other way around given somalia's strong influence over their trading partners in the past.
The english word thought for instance stems from the greek word thoth who was the god of writing introduced to the greeks by native north east africans (which includes somalis) which comes from the somali word Dood (thuuth) meaning a debate or conversation. We shouldn't jump to conclusions. It'll be just a naive for a french person to say the spanish "por que" is the french borrowed "por qoi" when they are both derived from their maternal latin language.
Somali and arabic have commonalties, as do all afro-asiatic languages do to shared linguistic history. The tree is birthed in the northern east end of africa so it'll be wise to not assume all. Keep up the good work.
Wow this was an amazing paragraph 😭😭 I strive to write like you one day Allahumabarik
@@elijahnatoli5237 thanks:)
What is the greeting you begin your videos with? I hear Somalis say that frequently when giving a speech to a room but can't quite make it out
Subax is from fajr prayer to roughly 9:00am
Barqo is from 10:00am to 11:59 roughly
Duhur is from 12:00 and before asr prayer
Galab is from asr prayer to just before magrib prayer
Fiid is evening just after sunset
Habeen is night but in the context greetings it is used when you are leaving for the night. If someone says to you Habeen wanaagsan, It is roughly similar to Good bye for the night
pretty much
Afku waa hodan
Aroor ...early morning
Barqo.. morning
Harkal/hadhkal/duhur. noon
Galab.. afternoon
Fiid...evening
Habeen night
Saqdhexe midnight
Waaberi at dawn

Interesting video Sam, I am Somali and I have never heard someone say to me Fiid Wanaagsen.
masha allah bro we are so happy
Masha alaah wlh aifican aa ubaratay❤❤
Good teacher masha Allah
Good one, thanks.
i think the English equivalent to 'fiid' would be 'evening' and 'habeen' (pronounced 'habein', like the 'ei' sound in 'heir' and the 'e' in 'mere' rather than the 'ea' sound in 'bean'), night. thats just what it sounds like to me lol. this was a great video ur pronounciation is lovely :)
Thank you so much! My students will appreciate it, when I say Good morning, in Somali!
Nice Marshall had good for you
Mashala i speck somali and sayings them right
Mahadsanid
mashallah
Habeen wanaagsan and cawo wanaagsan are same
Fiid is evening time
Galab before maqrin prayer
I love you sir
wow!
Masllh
12- Maghrib
another word for morning is aroor
Fiid maghrib-isha
salaam, you have mispronounced good night which is haben rather than habeen. I also believe that fiid might apply to early evening? it is true that I dont ever use this expression. I will find out for you inshallah.
Asalamu caleykum I just watched a video from somali sister call yasmin and she was talking about a somali teacher so as you were interested learning somali just check out this. Som IT training. and the sister have a channel call cafimat fiican she was showing how her American husband and children learned from there so good luck. your somali sister.
Asc Sam waxan ku weydin side bad af Somalia ku baratay
Afternoon starts from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Horn of Africa time. or from salatul asar to salatul Maghreb. From Maghreb to Isha is evening. After isha is habeen .

+wanderer Make it happen! Is there demand for it do you know? Like more than 10 people who would do it?
+Sam Of Somalia I am sure there are, the only issue is finding good experienced teachers at this point. May Allah make it easy.
Ameen. Yeh I was just wandering if I could do something to make our courses at my university more international and publish the content online as a video course. My old university offers Somali1 and Somali 2 for undergraduate and post graduate.

Habeen =cisha time after cishaa
cawo wanaagsan is also good evening :)
+fulla fulla Thank you very much! I'll ad it to the description! :)
Sam Of Somalia you're welcome brother
Hi asc
Hi wcs
hmm...my family says goodnight as 'habeyn wanaagsan' rather than 'habeen wanaagsan' but either could be correct :)
+Khadija Ibrahim Thank you very much for telling me! I will add that selling into the description too! I'm sure both are used and are correct but Somali is just sooooooo huge, it's hard for me to know it all. But I will try! So thank you very much for sharing sister.
+Khadija Ibrahim It might just be your family sweetie lol..JK..... I just never heard of anyone add a "y" to habeen. but idk, Somali does have a lot of different dialects.
+Sam Of Somalia You were right before. 'Habeen wangsan' is the correct spelling. The pronunciation might sound as 'habeyn' with the 'y' but 'habeen' is the correct spelling of night.
Asc women.
Somalia name s
Hey nanes
