Hi, what's the difference, if any, between jarrab and hawel?
@jnvlv247:
there's no difference really between "jarreb" and "hawel" they both mean "try"
but the usage of these words is somehow different..
Examples:
jarreb had el shi - try this thing (jarreb is more like try it, someone's recommending that you try this thing for the first time, usually)
jarreb ma ra7 tekhsar - try it you won't lose anything
hawel mara okhra - try again (hawel is more like trying something again, or trying to succeed)
those are the differences that I could think of!

Yah that makes senseOriginally Posted by sohuda
Think about Dina Hayek's song Jarrab El Ghira vs Yara's song Hawel Marra
Glad it does

So I have another question just to clear things up
Can someone explain can and can't in: FusHa, Egyptian and Lebanese Arabic? Like I can't wait, I can stay, He can't go, You can, etc Thanks
Fus7a:
I can't wait = la astatee3 al entethar
لا أستطيع الانتظار
I can stay = yomkenony al baqaa
يمكنني البقاء
He cant go = la yastatee3 al thahab
لا يستطيع الذهاب
You can = enta tastratee3
انت تستطيع

I can stay = ana momken ab2a
أنا ممكن أبقى
He can't go = may2darsh yroo7
ما يقدرش يروح
You can = enta te2dar
انت تقدر

Leb.:
I can't wait = ma feeny astana// ma b2dar astana
ما فيني استنى
I can stay = ana feeny eb2a// ana b2der ab2a
أنا فيني ابقى
He can't go = hwa ma feeyo yroo7// hwa ma by2dar yroo7
هو ما فيو يروح
You can = enta feek// enta bte2dar
انت فيك

Yes they do, I've edited the above post for you, they're both correct!

OK can someone explain how the article the (al) works
Like what would be the difference in these?
Al Kitab Kbeer
Al Kitab Al Kbeer
Al Kitab Al Abyad
Is it different in the dialects as well? Thanks

"Al kitab kbeer"="The book is big". In arabic, we normally leave out the verb "to be" in the present tense, but when translating we know we need it in english coz there's no article "al" before the adjective.
"Al kitab al kbeer"="The big book".
"Al kitab al abyad"="The white book." But "al kitab abyad"="The book is white."
Besides, there's also the structure "noun+al+noun", which is used to indicate posession:
"Kitab al mudarris"=The teacher's book (or "the book of the teacher").
"Bab al bayt"="the door of the house".
As far as I know, this doesn't change in the dialects, but I'm not a native speaker, so maybe we should wait for native speakers' opinions on this.

To beor to be
? It depends
Hahaha!just a note, we say it in Halab, spicially !
OK so in my arabic class, we say-andi kitab kbeer-is that wrong based on what you just said? Shouldn't we say, andi al kitab al kbeer?
not just in Halab dear, it's said in many dialectsjust a note, we say it in Halab, spicially !

Hi!
No, it's not wrong. Without the article the sentence just becomes indetermined:
-3andi kitab kbeer= I have a big book
-3andi al kitab al kbeer=I have the big book.
It may sound a bit complicated now; but don't worry, it's just a matter of practice
