Thank you bro.
Psssshhh.. ai eez not that kewl dawg.

Iya doesn't know how to speak English yet, so I'll translate. (actually she does speak it fine...and I will never comprehend why she used so much Arabic on a non-Muslim site. But that's Iya).

Female version of Muslim

Just because you're a friend doesn't mean I actually like you

Iya wrote:I like the word "Tukloo."

The word Tukloo literally means "Bald" in Urdu. Iya is trying to get the word famous for meaning Idiot. We'll never understand why, and we are considering sending her off to a mental assylum.

Iya wrote:And... I need a life.

That would be nice.

Iya wrote:Jazaks.

Litearlly means "reward" but used as "thanks". If you say "JazakAllah", it means "May Allah reward you".

Musa is a Tukloo.
He likes Ferraris.
His favorite cartoon is "Aladdin."
He likes to draw.
He knows how to speak in Xergiuoverniia.
His real name is Ibn Jafar bin Kaunmagi Jalali.

Hi Iya and welcome to the board

Its fine to use arabic but don't be surprised if you're asked for an explanation

What are your thoughts on the islands of Tokelau?

Hi. Thank you.
I think it's a beautiful island.
I'd like to have my honeymoon there.
What are your views on it?

I have never been there, or any other coral atoll for that matter.. Would love to go..

A shame though, because such places will probably be disappeared in the not-too-distant future.

I agree. You should go on a mini vacation soon, then

Would that I could, but I can't

Alafia, Iya!
In Yoruba, "Iya" means 'Mother' and connotes 'matriarch.'

Thank you. Really?
Whoa, never knew that.
I was actually searching the meaning of my name
but couldn't find anything.
Thank you so much.

LoL Iya, do you have any family from West Africa? Why don't you just ask your parents why they named you it? I doubt it came from Yoruba. It's just a coincidence. Also "In Lakota mythology, Iya is a storm-monster, brother of Iktomi the spider. The eye of the storm..."

Haha you're a storm monster.

"People with this name tend to be decisive and good with money. They try to have a balance between the physical and the spiritual worlds. They can often be a successful entrepeneur, and are often striving to reach ever higher goals and positions."

Haha, I definitely don't think that seems like you

Does your name mean something in Bangali?

And do you know Yoruba Rachel? I'd love to learn an African language. I tried Swahili but gave up.

It means "Love/Lover" and I think it's a bird.

Dude stop hating.
I'm gonna be rich and famous.
The thing says so.

And I thought I was Turkish. Man, I'm not!!!
And no, I'm not African, even though it would have been cool.
