Levantine dialect(Shamee dialect) is understandable in Lebanon,Syria,Palestine & Jordan

@czarek and najla... thanks a lot for the additional information...

but i have a question... the last sentence : Tawel baalek, meaning, be patience..., when would you say this to someone ?

and why did i learn that the word patience would be in arabic "sabr" ?

could you please translate me this sentence word by words, please ?

the meaning of tawel ? and the meaning of baalek ?

thanks a lot...

You are welcome anytime.

Well you can use it in many ways.

ex:

Why are you in a hurry!طول بالك=Tawwel baalak-Be patience!!!

*Tawwel as a verb means"to lenghten ",make longer").
*Baal=mind

So literaly this sentence ,means "lenghten your mind"

There is also another expression used in Syrian Dialect "دير بالك=deer baalak=Watch out!!
Be carefull!

صبر=Sabr =has two meanings

a)patience as you said and it is used in Modern Standard Arabic(أصبر قليلاً)=oSbor(qaleelan) !!!=Be patience( a little)!!!

b)cactus/(pricky pear)

In Egyptian dialect you can say:أصبر كمان شوية =Osbor kamaan shwayya=Be patience a little longer !!!

Hope it will help a bit!!

@czarek : thank you very much.... now i got a real better idea of when to use it

if you would like and find the time... you could write me some of the most common syrian arabic expressions ?

like thank you, you are welcome, how are you ? and whatever you may know

that would be great

thanks in advance

thank u : Yeslamo
How are u : kefek, kefak

@najla : thank you a lot

so yeslamo means thank you ? i learned for the word thank you .. shukran
and this is syrian dialect right ? please wathever you can write in syrian dialect i will be so happy
thanks a lot ... yeslamo ktiir ( was that right ? ) lol

it's slang egypt words

khouthi balik 3ala nefsik = take care yourself = خد بالك من نفسك
tawli balik = اصبر(اصبرى). = be patience

best of luck my honey

matrix444,
