Hello everyone! It is our second day of Arabic for Beginners.
Our 1st session can be found here: https://steemit.com/arabic/@peter3400/arabic-for-beginners-5-expressions-a-day.
Remember that I will be using numbers as follow:
2 refers to the so called "Hamza". it is usually spelled like the i in inn or like eh.
3 refers to the 'ayn , similar to 3ali = Ali
5 refers to Kh, and would sound like Khan or Bach
7 refers to the ḥāʾ, like that of Mohammed Salah --> Mo7amed Sala7
9 refers to the ghayn, spelled like the French R
ou = oo
Today new expressions:
- What's your name: shou ismak (m) / ismik (f)?
- my name is: ismi Alex or simply Alex
- nice to meet you: tsharrafna (slang)
- I'm pleased to meet you: nbasatot sheftak (m) / sheftik (f)
- where is the nearest restaurant: wen a2rab mat3am
That's all for today. Hope that you will find them of use. If you have any particular question or would you like to know how to say any given expression, do not hesitate to place it in the comment box,
Cheers!
