All the things that I dedicated myself to faded

thats only an exampel

sorry, Jihan..., i don't know how to translate this word because i even don't understand what it means in English..., i'll pass it to someone else

sorry again

Hi,again me with some question
Well i need some cleared plz.
So lazem Daydream told me means should,but i find it like translate it like must,gotta and another version ha7alam-should.plz dont be mad on my Daydreamthnx you for helping me

And another words that confuse me are:
to heal i find it like-aTaayab and dawaany
to begin-ibtada and bidaaya
day-i know in egyptian is nahar but also youm
drunk-masaTool and masaTyl
dress-fastaan and fasatyn
go ahead-itfiDil and khalik
to hope -itmana and hatmana la
also-kaman(egyptian word ,right?)and barDuh

And now what i want is to know what word is egyptian .Plz don't swear me and dont laughtoo much

hi lovemirabela im learning like u and i know lazem means must i think is egyptian. Taayab means oke or when u agree in something to begin ibtada and bidaaya beginning nahar means ligth u know when sun appear i think and youm day..drunk masatool or when u want tell some one like chicken head u can use masatool lol and masatyl for more than one person. dress fostan this is egyptian and itfaddali go ahead to hope to wish itmana and kaman is egyptian and means too, also,as well . All this words i hear it coz my bf is egyptian .

@Duh, your name is very long, L o v e l y m i r a b e l a (I hope it's right)

Well, "lazem" means "Should" and i have no idea what do you mean with the other translations.., but i am just SURE it means should or must
and here's some examples so you don't get confused

Ana lazem aro7
أنا لازم اروح
I must go
------
Mirabela lazem ta3ref ma3na kalemat "Lazem
ميرابيلا لازم تعرف معني كلمة "لازم
Mirabela must know the meaning of "Lazem"
------
qaletly lazem eshtry ketab
قالتلي لازم إشتري كتاب
she said i should buy a book

I hope above is clear.., anyway, LAZEM means MUST or SHOULD

=============

To heal means = يشفي = youshfy, it's that way
To begin = ebtada = إبتدا
Day = Day in english means the morning & afternoon period, and it also mean the normal day, but, in Arabic:
the morning & afternoon called نهار = Nahar
day = Youm..., and actually in sometimes we (Syrian) say nahar at the meaning of day, but as you are tallking about Egyptian accent, so they just say, YOUM
drunk = mastool for one person, but masatyl for alot of people, and mastool doesn't mean drunk = Mastool means stupid, and drunk means sakran
dress = same as above, Foustan for dress, but many dresses means fasatyn
go ahead = etifAdal, (You'd better give us an example for the time you say khalik, if you mean the time where you have guests and when they want to leave, we say khalik, it means, stay more
to hope = itmana, but itmana la is mean "to hope to"
Also = Barduh and kaman, both are right on Egyptian accent

Well dear...i tried my best te explain, i hope i didn't confuse you more.., if you found anything not clear, tell me or anyone , okay?

Can anyone get me the following in Fus7a الفصحى- and please take your time

I was not here – He was not here- He is not here-she was not here- she is not here.
They were not here- they were here- They are not here- they are here.
I was sleeping- He was sleeping – she was sleeping- they were sleeping
I was not listening – He was not listening- she was not listening- they were not listening.
I was listening- I am listening- He was listening- He is listening- she was listening- she is listening.
I told him- I will tell him- I told her- I will tell her- I told them – I will tell them.
It was not my fault- it was not his fault- it was not her fault- it was not their fault.
It was my fault- it was his fault- it was her fault- it was their fault.

One more thing - When is a person recommended to learn colloquial? After what stage (level) of Fus7a?


Thank you- sorry guyz ,but what can I do, I need to take advantage of this forum as much as I can lol.

at the end.., i am not a teacher to tell you when you have to learn the 3amiah, when you see that you became nice in Fos7a, then you can study 3amiah!

And actually, in these days no body uses the Fos7a except in book & History

Hope above is what you want, it took me forever to write it

Hi Orwa ,
you told me to come with example for KHALIK,so here i am
I write also what i was trying to say in english so plz corect me,cuz i am not sure if i formulate good the translation.

1-wa khalik ma3aya
may i have you ?
وخليك معايا

3-3aawiz ta7lam khalik
you wanna dream?go ahead.
عوز تحلم خليك

4-khalik ya 7abibi makaanik ikhadik
my darling go ahead in the place of deceive.
خليك يا حبيبي مكانك إخدك

4-khalik ekhaby 7obak bete2alby 7obak
go ahead and hide you love for me,my love in your heart.
خليك إخابي حبك بطالبي حبك

Hello Mira, Yes, i have told you, i want some examples

Well dear amiga..., i'd translate the words you said as follow

1- And stay with me
2- Do you want to dream? stay dreaming...
3- My darling stay at your place because i want to take you
4- i didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, sorry

But a question if i have, are you sure of the translation??, who translate it to you?, maybe i am mistaken in above, i am not always right, but that's what i think it's right

No 1 translate for me,i am trying to learn the egyptian dialect and i am trying and trying may be 1 day i will succed,and the 4rd sentences ,is from a song i think is- enta ma3aya-but i guess i am wrong with the 4rd example i am not sure...my arabic is not so good so in the 4rd are missing words from my example.Like i said i wasnt sure about the trasnlation that's why i write what i was thinking when i put the word khalik in examples,this way you will know what i am trying to say but my translation failed

Well, I have translated to you the word as i would say them.., and HOPE you will success in your arabic, Egyptian isn't easy, and you are learning it by yourself, so keep that way, and when/if you want any help we are all here, do not worry

There's a little mistake in the second sentence, you wrote a5dak and it means take you, but you translate it as deceive a5da3ak & for the fourth sentence, it's not clear.., i understood خليك & حبك but the rest of words doesn't have meaning

Pay attention to these little letter & wish you the best in this language

hi everybody plz help me for that
