In today's episode, we'll take a look some phrases that would help you kick-off mini conversation with any Somali person. 

Always start with "ASALAAMU'ALAYKUM" Peace be upon you. It does not matter if they are a bunch of people or a single person. 

As I have mentioned in the eposide, that greating is timeless any precious. You can use it at any given moment. They would more likey respond with "WA"ALAYKUMASALAAM" "you too". I don't know if you know this but we (Somalis) actually like when non-somali person starts a conversation and we can talk to you all day long. When we start to talk, we go all the way. Not like Hi and Hi and then departing pretty soon. Use thses phrases and make new somali friends. 

See tahay or siddii tahay?  How are you? How are you doing?

Fiican = Good/ Great

Magacaa = What's your name?

Please don't ask too many questions. 

If you are lucky, you can even get their phone numbers and start an endless friendship.
