3:06 سمرقند العجم This refers to Samarqand which is a place in modern day Uzbekistan. This city is well known for being a centre of Muslim scholarship during the Islamic early ages. The word Samarqand itself is not natively Arab and is from Sogdian which means stone fort/town.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing the original Arabic, the rhythm and music of the language is so relaxing along with the tone of voice, and then hearing a summary of what happened makes me feel like I'm understanding, it is in fact a very dreamy and surreal sensation. I am such a fan of Arab Dad. Good night x
Finally a video in Arabic yeyyyyy!! We’ve all been begging you for this one!! Arabic really is the prettiest language of them all ✨ More 1001 nights stories pleaseeee
Awwww this is so nostalgic, I had completely forgot about my mum reading me these stories to sleep. As soon as I saw the book cover the memories all flooded in 🥺
That's mean. We're allowed to participate and appreciate, thank you very much! 😂😂😂 This was wonderful, thank you and the book donor! 👍👍💪💪🥰✌️🇨🇦@@tzaph67
I like that you have an English accent when you speak Arabic (the letter ق sounds like ك). It’s barely noticeable and gets softer the more you read but it’s really cool and somehow in character ❤
This is my favorite Arab Dad ASMR. Please read more of the story, habibi. It is so beautiful and sleep inducing. Thank you for all of the work you put into these vids for us, we are most grateful. ❤
Arab dad, thank you so much for reading Arabian Nights in Arabic! ❤🥰 Also, in answer to your question around whether to read the same chapter in English, I'm happy for you to keep reading in Arabic coz you translate it for us anyway (with the funny interludes). BTW, after watching your previous videos, I bought the English version (Sir Richard F. Burton translation), and just turned to the first chapter - it appears to be the one you read today but with a different title - it's called 'The Tale of Scheherazade' 😊
@@brcd.8628 I see it. 👍 Btw your last answer is stored in the Settings or History section. Do you know how to access it? (Edit: If you're using the phone, then go to Settings -> Manage all history -> Interactions -> Comments & replies)
YES! YES! YES!!!! Oh, this was such a nice surprise!!! I love it!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Yes, please read more of this!!! Funny how you usually don't finish a story either... hmmmm... are you related to Scheherazade, by any chance? 😂 Thank you so much for this!!! Regarding the language, I would prefer you continue in the way you read today. I already know the story/ stories, and I even listen to it/them in one of my native languages (Romanian), but it was a real treat to listen to it in Arabic and I would like (a lot) more of it!!! It was one of my favourites growing up! Thank you, again! I won't say "no" or click off if you read them in English either, but since you asked ...😂 Much health to Larry! May he feel much better soon! He is terribly missed! 😻❤
Thank you so much for this😀 And, thank you to the kind and generous donar(?) who gave money so Rudy could get this book for his "dad" to read. Best wishes to Larry the Cat
The Portuguese and Spanish languages have Arabic in it. I’m slowly learning Arabic on my own. I understand some so far. I need to practice. I asked the local library if I can practice with fluent Arabic speakers they said they don’t have that yet. I will keep on asking until someone volunteers. I can’t afford to pay someone, hopefully someone will want to teach me. :-)
You have to focus on a certain dialect, unless you want to learn Classical Arabic which is very beautiful but quite a challenge and no one actually speaks it in real life. I can help you with Classical Arabic or the Egyptian dialect.
I listened again, so I could fall asleep. So, thank you for that. Also, I would listen to the same passage in English, but, the Arabic is so soothing. So, I am glad you were willing to read in it.
You have to do all 1001 nights since you started this. Besides just the stories we need the background about how the king’s wife decide to tell these stories so he doesn’t kill her.
Oh thank you SO much for this! I’ve listened to it 3 nights for sleep and it’s beautiful ❤️ I also like your little comic asides in English every so often. I will definitely buy you a coffee or donate to say thank you. Would you consider reading some Arabic poetry? I’ve been watching some of your other videos - am so used to Arab Dad, it was strange hearing your American accent lol! Hope Larry is recovering well and thanks again.
Rudy if you enjoy reading the same chapter in english, I would gladly listen to it! Otherwise there is no problem. But please read the second part of this chapter 😃!!
I think u should allow yourself to give more comments and opinions on what you read after you translate it your own way it's very nice. For exemple you debate this or that about what a character does. Coz when we read novels by ourselves we may say out loud "my brother whyyy would you go this way are u dumb i dooon't underrrrstand"
Are you saying that his "translations" are incorrect? Or something else? Because I just figured he was kind of giving us the rather loose translations and the entire point is to just listen and fall asleep. I really wish he would read more of this book, actually.
Hmm I think we'd have to courier the book (unless it's an ebook) but then international shipping could make it too expensive. Alternatively, we can donate to the channel via the link in the description box. Oh - we can also email gift cards to the address in the description box.
@@samrabeitman6026 I understand what you're saying. It is a bit of a shocker, I guess to hear profanity all of a sudden in the midst of what is supposed to be a relaxing ASMR vid. I don't think I've heard Rudy use such language in his other ASMR vid. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the text itself is highly misogynist and no one is complaining about that at all. Just saying.
@@samrabeitman6026 But that isn't the original text, right? I'm not a believer in or supporter of dumbing down or erasing the original. That also erases history and all that comes with it.
Oh no, no, no! This was so good until the English translations started. This AMSR, it is all about the soothing sounds, no one give a heck about the story, we don't need to hear the janky English words, just read it in Arabic, it is so beautiful and relaxing!
I totally disagree. I liked that he was very kind and explained the story. He didn't have to do that at all. That is the part that I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked all of it, but I thought he went the extra mile to explain everything and I really appreciate that.
If you don't mind the correction: "Karma" (with the 'r') is the reference to the cosmic law of cause and effect, but the word you're looking for is "kama" (title of the ancient text) which usually means desires. They are pronounced the same in the West, thus the confusion, but actually they sound quite distinct in the East - for instance, the 'r' sound is well emphasized.
Don't forget to put the link in the description for donations to Larry's surgery. There's a lot of Larry love out here.
Arabic is magical language like Arabian nights itself 🧞
I like the fact that he has Arabic accent even when he speaks in Arabic.
Um... yeah?
Are you fr
Because he is arab 😅

Arab Dad is the best, especially when he speaks Arabic!
It is a beautiful exotic language
Arabic is literally the most beautiful language in the world maşallah, it's like the language comes out of a fairy tale, it's so surreal
Wow Arabic is super relaxing
Finally a video in Arabic yeyyyyy!! We’ve all been begging you for this one!! Arabic really is the prettiest language of them all ✨ More 1001 nights stories pleaseeee
I really prefer those Arabian nights stories, and if they are in arabic, it’s even better! Well done 👍
Awwww this is so nostalgic, I had completely forgot about my mum reading me these stories to sleep. As soon as I saw the book cover the memories all flooded in 🥺
Thank you so much to the person who donated for the book 🙏🏽!
@@chiaraantonelli6735 indeed much gratitude to the person who donated for the book - I feel Arab Dad should have bought it himself though!
@@tzaph67 money is too tight to mention, as Simply Red said! I think another option was to borrow the book from the library.
That's mean. We're allowed to participate and appreciate, thank you very much! 😂😂😂 This was wonderful, thank you and the book donor! 👍👍💪💪🥰✌️🇨🇦@@tzaph67
I too got my tooth removed 2 hours ago and recovering. Hope Larry recoveres soon
Hope you feel better soon ❤, and hope it wasn't the wisdom teeth. 😟
Thanks @@seoul_searcher ! It was a small tooth I had to remove before having braces. The whole procedure was fast and painless
@@hzuzh Oh that's good to hear! 😊 I know what you mean - my brother went through the same for his braces.
I like that you have an English accent when you speak Arabic (the letter ق sounds like ك). It’s barely noticeable and gets softer the more you read but it’s really cool and somehow in character ❤
ق is usually pronounced as ك in the Levant
Or as ء like in Egypt.
It's not the english accent 😭 It's more like his dialect accent.
This is my favorite Arab Dad ASMR. Please read more of the story, habibi. It is so beautiful and sleep inducing. Thank you for all of the work you put into these vids for us, we are most grateful. ❤
Finally! I have waited for someone to read my in arabic. More, we need more!
I played this in my ears to calm myself down during a nail appointment and I almost fell asleep 😭 your voice is a gift Rudy
Bro you in Arabic is like a divine red wine
Thank you habibi
Feel better soon, Larry!! 🙏❤

Habibi -this is poetry… very beautiful!
Please read all the stories ☺️
Our mother tongue is the most poetic sounding language ❤

Shukran, Arab Dad ❤
Thank you, sir.
My cat also had all his teeth removed a few years ago. He’s much better now and doing great! Feel better Larry
Arabic is such a sexy language
Want more of it😍

Does it? My native language is Portuguese and I haven't realise it at all, maybe it's a particular dialect.
You have to focus on a certain dialect, unless you want to learn Classical Arabic which is very beautiful but quite a challenge and no one actually speaks it in real life.
I can help you with Classical Arabic or the Egyptian dialect.
this healed something in my soul plz more
What a beautiful language 😍!
Arab Dad helps Non-Arab Moms sleep... and enjoy the process while at it 😂😂😂
Yes! Arabic reading please
I listened again, so I could fall asleep.
So, thank you for that.
Also, I would listen to the same passage in English, but, the Arabic is so soothing. So, I am glad you were willing to read in it.
Always hiped when he uploads
That was an amazingly brilliant idea❤
I got all the feels
This reading was so nice !! First time I hear Arabic that long, what a soothing voice
Oh my god yes!!!!!!!
Finally! Please more videos in arabic
So relaxing and soothing voice, perfect! 🙏🤗😎

good job
How can we visit Larry?, or send a gift basket we made for him 😊 with cat goodies?
Your hair is looking nice tonight Mr sexy man.

Are you saying that his "translations" are incorrect? Or something else? Because I just figured he was kind of giving us the rather loose translations and the entire point is to just listen and fall asleep. I really wish he would read more of this book, actually.
Is Rudy reading this in fusha or lebanese Arabic?
Interesting question!! I want to know as well
Fusha
With some minor vowelling inconsistencies though?
Fusha, all the arabic books are in fusha except for some kids' books or new magazines.
@@otaxonov459 Tsk. Sigh.
This is my 8th time watching this video
shalom book

Which ones are for ASMR? He sounds good with this one imo
💖💫😊
Who do you think has a bigger table 😂
Where do I send money?
to my account :)
11:10 bro are you sure that's what the book says? or you add some words?
...and he watched all night?
Is this meant to be relaxing? I can't stop laughing! 😂
Wow +18 version 😂😂😂
I think all of the Arabian Nights is pretty sexual though, from what I understand.
@Pudgeorama never said it isn't , but to use those words is pretty intense specially if u have different fan base , like diverse
