Waryaa and Naayaa

The words "hey" are Waryaa and Naayaa. Though they all mean “hey” you should practice with caution in some situations. You don’t wanna say “naaya” to a Somali lady and get slapped 🤣. For some Somali women, the word "naaya" is offensive. Although it's quite normal in some parts of Somalia, particularly the north, it's somehow seen as belittling women. For men, waryaa is hey. Calling adults waryaa will come out as impolite and disrespectful, thus it's best to address teenagers as waryaa instead. Say "adeer," "just adeero," or "abbti," which means "uncle," to grownups. Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy this episode! Stay Tuned!
