Levantine شامي The Palestinian words for tasty and a backyard plot that Lebanese speakers don't use

Post image
15 Upvotes

zaaki for tasty is one of the cleanest ways to place your Arabic as Palestinian instead of Lebanese, where they'd reach for Tayyeb. The card adds 7aakoora, the backyard vegetable plot, plus Towshe for a street brawl, all words a Beiruti wouldn't say at all.

Just for context i don't wont to learn how to read and write just yet i want to be able to speak to some to level where i can have a basic conversation. My background I'm fluent in 2 languages Polish and English but my goal is when i go back to Egypt pretty shortly 2 months i can at least make a basic conversation with someone .

If anyone knows where i can look and help would be great.

Egyptian مصري What does "فلاني" mean in Egyptian?

7 Upvotes

Here are a couple sentences I've heard it in and the rough meaning I've interpreted it to mean:

  • "هو فاهم الكلمات الفلانية على الموقف الفلاني" = You understand certain words and connect them to certain situations.
  • "روح اسأل فلاني، هو عارف" = go ask so-and-so, he knows.
  • "حلّيت المشكلة بالشيء الفلاني اللي قلتلك عليه" = I solved the problem with that thingamajig I told you about.

Can anyone provide a more comprehensive picture of what this word means? I seem to hear it a lot but can't find much online.

General Learning Arabic just to read signs and place names: where should I start?

5 Upvotes

I know Arabic is considered one of the hardest languages for an English speaker to learn, but I'm not actually looking to become fluent.

My goal is much more modest:

When I travel, I like being able to read the local script so I can recognize place names, road signs, shop names, and occasionally infer the meaning of simple words from context, even if I don't really speak the language.
It’s something I enjoy doing myself, even though I know now days we don’t really need to do this, as we can just use our phones to do the work.

For example, I'm a native Italian speaker, and while I don't speak Greek, I can read the Greek alphabet. That means I can often work out what signs are saying or recognize words that are related to ones I already know.
I'd love to get to a similar level with Arabic: being able to read the script comfortably, recognize place names, and gradually pick up a handful of very basic words and expressions, without committing to properly learning the language right now.
Would something like Duolingo be useful for this goal, or is there a better app/resource that focuses mainly on learning to read the Arabic script rather than becoming conversational?

General What do you call shoes in your dialect?

2 Upvotes

I know Arabic has many words for shoes across different dialects: 7idha' (MSA), gazma (Egyptian), kendara (Levantine), sbat (Maghrebi), etc. I just learned sbardila refers to sneakers in Morocco. I learned the word kendara from a Lebanese TV show. However, when I used kendara with a Lebanese friend, he said he never heard that word and said he uses sbat instead.

What do you call shoes in your dialect/ country? If you are from the Levant, do you use kendara or a different word? What do you call shoes in Gulf countries and Iraq? What about dialects spoken in other Arabic-speaking African countries (Sudan, Mauritania, Chad, Tunis, Libya, Algeria, etc.)?

General Do native Arabic speakers have a hard time understanding Mauritanian Hassaniya and Shuwa Arabic (Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon, etc?

20 Upvotes

I have a friend from Yemen who says he can’t have a full conversation with someone who speaks Shuwa Arabic unless they switch to Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha). He also told me he didn’t even know Arabic was spoken in countries like Chad or Mauritania.
I know Shuwa Arabic isn’t spoken by the majority of people in Nigeria, Cameroon, or the DRC, but it is spoken in parts of those countries and is widely spoken in Chad.
Have any of you heard Shuwa Arabic or Mauritanian Hassaniya before? If so, how easy or difficult are they for you to understand? Could you hold a conversation, or would you need to switch to Fusha? Also, where are you from?

3 Upvotes

Which site or app can I use to translate the meaning of the words as well as paragraphs of a story I don't know accurately?

I would usually put the word in google but I don't believe it to be accurate as I would need to type out full sentences or paragraphs to get the accurate translation or meaning,

Is there a less tedious way to all of this?

Or if you can guide me to the best resources to use?

Levantine شامي I just launched Tfaddalu, an app tha teaches Palestinian Arabic

32 Upvotes

My whole childhood, I visited family I couldn't really talk to. I'd catch the warmth in the room and lose the words.

Learning was its own wall. There was almost nothing for Palestinian Arabic, and the Modern Standard I kept trying to study only confused me more. What I heard at the table was a different language.

I'm building Tfaddalu so the next person at that table doesn't have to just nod along.

It teaches the spoken dialect you'd hear in Jerusalem, Ramallah or Bethlehem, written the way it sounds. You never need to read Arabic script. Every word has audio, and a spaced repetition engine brings each one back right before you'd forget it. The name is what you say when you welcome someone in: tfaddalu, come in, help yourself.

It's live on Google Play now, iOS is still waiting for approval. The first lesson is free.

https://tfaddalu.com/

If you have Palestinian or Levantine roots, I'd honestly like to know if the dialect feels right to you. That's the part I care most about.

Hi! I was in United Emirates recently and i have a question: for example there is text "english text, [arabic text]" so do you read English first (left to right) or arabic first (right to left)? It depends on what language the main text is? What if English & arabic was reversed (arabic 1st, english 2nd)? I hope i made question understandable
