This is such a helpful video. The long length is so good, all the different useful phrases, the specific levant dialect, ugh it’s all great thank you so much for your work
I love these series with individual phrases written in aeabic on the screen. I stop begore tou pronounce anything, tey to read and pronounce rhe words from the arabic scriptz and get immediate feedback if my reading and pronouncistion was correct or not. Perfect speed and reporition for a complete beginner learning to read and pronounce from reading. And many individual words are common enough that Im learning to identify them on sight.
Hi Ibrahim. In your examples, "be careful driving" and "I'll call you when I arrive", you use "oo", which is usually used for "and". So can it be used to mean "when" or "while"?
Hey! I find your context very Educational! I’m learning Lebanese Arabic. When you say Levantine dialect includes all the countries in the levant? Or just Syrian and Lebanon?
صباح الخير إبراهيم. الف شكر على الفيديو الرائع. خدها لبراة: Is this phrase for telling someone, i.e. a kid to take their ball outside or is it a phrase to tell two people arguing to take their dispute outside, as we say in English?

Hi Ibrahim. Please could you tell me what the root verb form is for itmasha (in brackets), in I'd like to go for a walk? Is it a Form V verb. I've also seen "biddi irooh amshee" used.
The verb is form 8 from the form افتعل this is very much used in spoken. It’s derived from the form 1 مشى to walk Both verb forms are used and it depends on what you wish to use, that’s all.
Thank you. But I still don't understand why the the ta comes before ma in itmasha, if it's form 8. Why would it not be imtasha? @@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic
@@peterrandall7255 the language has a base form with 3 letters then in Arabic they have created new forms based on the 3 letter basic form. The new forms are like templates and all verbs will go under the same new forms to reference to a new meaning. Like Katab which a 3 letter verb form and it means to write. Make it form 2 by doubling the middle letter and it becomes - Kat-ttab which means to make someone to write. Make it form 3 Kaaateb كاتب and it’s a description refers to the person doing the action and acting and it’s called the active participle which is something I have covered in 5 sessions (check the grammar section). We have more forms which will change the meaning of the verb and its intensity
How come in basically every phrase where we use an object pronoun ending or هاي/هاد you choose the feminine form. Is it the default? Should i always use the feminine forms when the gender is ambiguous or unclear? Like the default?
Hi, You can always make the object clear in the sentence like I bought the car أنا اشتريت السيارة to I bought it - أنا اشتريتها The default conjugation if the gender isn't clear is masculine aka He 3rd person. Hope this helps

@@magickal87 you would be able to use all of them in all the 4 countries but as well all know that dialect keeps evolving always and people would always have their way of saying things differently and with a different accent
Quranic script is very different and not used unless in a religious context or settings! عم is used as the equivalent of -big in English Ps. One question mark is good enough to reply to.
Arabic has many dialects due to its historical and geographical spread across the Arab world, which led to regional variations in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Factors like isolation, cultural influences, and historical events also contributed to the divergence of dialects over time and that itself influenced different pronunciation patterns. Hope this helps
I meant I'm studying through this video, so I put the minutes where I'm studying and taking notes, I'll be doing it for a while until I study your whole video, which is amazing@@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic
Hi, yes, they’re randomly chosen as I mentioned at the beginning of the video as most of them are phrases used my my most students. I have made more than 10 videos on same topic, you might want to check other videos which quite a lot Thanks
In my view, relying on transliteration can sometimes hinder progress in learning Arabic. While it may be helpful at first, I believe it's more effective for learners to engage with the script directly if they're serious about mastering the language. Those who feel they still need transliteration can personalise it to suit their learning style, but transitioning to the Arabic script as soon as possible is key. After all, it would seem unusual for Arabic speakers to learn English using only Arabic script.
You have to know these two variations unless you’re planning to talk to one gender for the rest of your holiday 😅 thanks Ps I’ve covered in earlier videos the gender and the verb conjugations as well.
Thank you so much for this excellent learning source! On the gender, I think it is sufficient to mention the male, female and plural form in Arabic, without specifying in English which one it is, as we hear the different endings and understand after a few examples. Personally, I would also find a third and fourth repetition of the Arabic words greatly useful.
@@IsabellaPinno thanks Isabella I’d have to keep mentioning the different forms and variations as people on different levels plus there is no harm of mentioning in 3sec I’d be able to repeat 🔁 / read the sentences a number of times if it helps everyone

Yes,
You can use a number of these prepositions
