I live in Tunisia and speak fluent Arabic. Tunisian Arabic is different from literal Arabic. Here are a few words to get you started (pronounced how they look. The 3 is used to accentuate the letter after it and make it longer sounding.): Walla = Or Wal藖l藖a = By God Feinel bhar = Where's the beach? Fein baiti = Where's my room? Asala'ama = Hello Bisla'ama = Good-bye Birabbee minfadlik = Please Shukran = Thank you Na'am (Aye)= Yes La = No Ashnooa ahwalik? = How are you? Labes elhamdulillah = Fine thanks Sismik? = What's your name? Ismi.. = My name is... Fein...? = Where is...? Emta...? = When is...? In-sha Allah = God willing Ana = I Inta = you (male) Inti = you (female) Huwwa = he Hiyya = she Ahna = we Jeaan = I'm hungry 3uTsha:na = Thirsty Shaban = I'm full Floose = money Gha:li = expensive 3andikshi Sarf? = Do you have change? Sabah El Kheir = good morning Tis'Sabah El Kheir = good night Ija = come Houny = here Kadish? = How much (cost)? Barsha= lots Shwaya = little Ba:hya = Okay (good) Kelim bil Anglais? = Do you speak English? Ku:ka = Coke Qahwa = Coffee Ma = Water Xhuza = Bread B3i:da = Far Qri:ba = Near Kbi:ra = Big/large Sghi:ra = Small/little Sxu:na = Hot Ilwaqt = Time Qbal = Before Ba3d = After A:kul = Eat Fi:q = Wake up Qu:m = Get up Urqud = Sleep 3u:m = Swim Tunisians are fluent in French and use a lot of French in their dialect, so if you are fluent in French, or know some French words, you'll fare even better as they have replaced some Arabic words with their French counterpart. If you need any more help or if I can be of more assistance, please feel free to contact me. Have been living in Tunisia 5+ years Speak fluent Tunisian Arabic dialect http://360.yahoo.com/jamie_hassen... aslaama=hello and goodbye; thats all i can think of and i am in tunisia right now, feel free to email! i'll repost when i think of more! lol whenee= where; ieshik=please; geeonna=hungery; elhumdula= thaanks God, said full when full; imshee=go toewa=now; khobs=bread coool=eat stenna= wait hunnejek= i am coming eaze= stop shanewa=what hope it helps! have fun! |
