@jst_anthr_grl 🥺🥺 I understand that lol. I think the bread also puts me off somehow, maybe because the bakeries here don't make it well, I don't know. But my family grows bananas and I grew up eating a lot of bananas.

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@jst_anthr_grl 😋 uuuh. Thanks hunno❤️ have you ever tried banana milk?😫

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@baatigirl I know about 4 Abyans and they are men. Mostly I can't say about the mainland, but in Garissa, most Abyans I met were both men and women

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@jst_anthr_grl The way I love bananas😭😭 wallahi I can just snack on them. And I'll gladly take yours 😋😋

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@icemanB11 @real_damsa Allahuma Bareek. May Allah preserve you ☺️ It's nice meeting fellow nfds online

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@icemanB11 @real_damsa Lol, what a small world. Usiseme Garissa..? Or which part of nfd are you from

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@icemanB11 Depends on the time, season, the birth of the baby, diicis(male name for a preterm), Sigaad(something traumatic either happened to the mother or the child before or during the birth), Yarrow(the child was born with a small body) etc..it really just depends☺️

Me writing my novel with a somali female lead and the line is: "She became a blade that was constantly being hammered against the anvil of survival."

@UserFrom1998 Lmao somali names are not dying. 😭 You are so weird, just say you haven't been around multiple somalis, because you'd know.

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

When I was befriending my now friend from the mainland, she asked for Digsi.. and I was just standing there like 🧍🏾‍♀️and when I understood after her explaining it to me, I said "You mean eeyla" and she was also 🧍🏾‍♀️ somali dialects man... don't get me started on Barkinaas😭😭

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️You cannot be serious. Almost all Africans that border a sea/ocean eat seafood😭😭 wtf is this mentality

[🥀 Killa 🥀 @EmiriahMarie]

@ThomasMightSnap They saw how us BLACK AMERICANS love seafood and trynna capitalize off our wave….. nothing new…

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@Django86ri Not too much😭😭 It was my Awoowes name Xaaf/Haaf, Allah Rahma..

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

@Eyespeakfax Not all. Most are caay, but I have seen a lot of them who have affectionate naanays

[Zhuzhu @zhuzhuwrites]

Somali Naanays can either be beautiful or utterly satirical. My cousin's nickname, Ciiltirey->She who erased sorrow, after her hooyo didn't give birth for 6 years after the older sister, the second born, and again my male cousin is called Diciis because he was born preterm 😭
