This time I present a list of few terms that we came across and got familiar during the political changes that our country saw. Guess this will be just a good idea to recall these once again.
1. Isthiufa- Before the political changes started most of the time this word will be heard from the International news, except a rare case where a minister resigns.
2. Golhaabo- This I heard was a nick name given in Huvadhoo Atoll for a person who steals Toddy from the coconut palm at night.
3. Nizaamee Nuguthaa- This was so famous among us, I wonder if any wife ever stopped her husband from divorcing her using a Niazaamee Nuguthaa!!! (Point of Order).
4. Membalhun- oh...........no comments.
5- Postmortem / autopsy- We got friendly with this term after late Hussain Solah case.
6. Madhanee Basneyhun- Something I never imagined in Maldives till I saw it. (civil disobedience).
These are some terms that came to my mind. Surely there will be many more.
