Miscellaneous (not lyrics) Arabic <-> English Translations

Help

And about duraaq...well, thanks for that information. Is there another word for peaches? I mean, I am uncertain about the use of words indicating "peach" in Fus7a.


Thanks in advance

Salam..
What I concluded from your both posts about the word 'flowing', that it means ينسدل أو يتدلى, but I think ينسدل is more correct about the gown thing, but for the beard, I believe that يتدلى would be more correct.

For the word دراق:
I checked my Monjid dictionary and found that one pellet of peach is دراقة, so it's linguistically correct.
Even for the word خوخ, one pellet of it, is خوخة.

Regards

So, about peaches: Can I use the plural duraaqaat, or as mentioned before duraaq does imply both singular and plural. I need the Fus7a-likelier. ;-)

About the gown: so you mean from sadala > insadala ? Yeah, sadala means something like to dangle. And sidl means curtain as well. So that could be fitting.

Thanks for that information, ya Oriee

those days in the hospital was horrible,Al Shukr lelah im better now,i been thinking of you a lot and kind of missing you,very strange feeling...and that is not good haha...what have you done to me?

thank you!

I'll give a try, but i am never expert or even good in that dialect and i believe we don't have anybody from this country

Eyame bel mashfa kanet sa3ba kther, al shukr lelah ana kwayes(a) al7ein, kont bfaker fek ktheer, w tagriban eshtegtelak, e7sas 3'erib, w haza mo kwayes, eish sawetly?

but as i said, as nobody answered (Yet) so i thought i would give a try

is it right if i wanna say:

next week am going alone..

al osbo3 algaya 7aro7 w7dy..

it depends on the dialect you're going to speak, i believe you want Egyptian, then it is right except

Al osbo3 algaya 7aro7 w7dy..
El osbo3 Elgay- Haro7 w7dy

In fact the duraaqaat دراقات is not mentioned as a plural in the dictionary.
Only, duraq دراق and one piece of it is دراقة.
And yes you may use the pluralto imply both sigular and plural.
By the way, I found out that it's pronounciated as darraq دَرَّاق & دَرَّاقة and not dorraq

سدل is not a direct meaning of curtains.

You're so welcome, pleased to help you.

hasibak - I will leave you and haseebek is the female form
2oul labook.. yes thats correct
awi awi and keteer both mean the same.. awi awi is Egyptian and they also use "gedan"

I love you very much - ba7ebak awi/ ba7ebak kteer.. they both work
This cost very much - dah ghaly awi/ ghaly kteer.. both work
its all just a matter of dialect and Shukran Jazilan is proper Arabic for thank you very much..

How does this expression come in Arabic:

how nice! how beautiful! how bad!...

I mean the word "how" here. Can "ma" be used? Like ma ajmala aT-Taqsa???

And how will it be with adjectives like وَحْشِي ending with ya. How will they be formed to fit into the pattern above. e.g. how to say: how wild is this animal! (as exclamation not as question.)

EDIT: and which word to use for pétillant, when wine or rain or something like that is beady and sparkling.

Thanks in advance

hiiii everybody plzz help me for this translation in lebanese dialect :

- i will always love you

- one day i want to cry, and the other one i want to laugh

thanks ktir in advance

how nice! how beautiful! how bad!...
In Fusha
ما هذا الجمال !
ما هذا القبح !

- I am not sure I got the second part , but (how wild is this animal!)
!ما أعنف هذا الحيوان

- the thierd part is
يتلألأ

one day i want to cry, the other one i want to laugh : yawn wa7ed badde ebki fih, o el youm el tani badde ed7ak fih !

Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

Another question: how to express > how couldn't I love you (like how could it be possible that I don't love you)

In Fus7a, please. ;-)

كيف لي ان لا أحبك ؟

هل من المعقول أنني لا احبك ؟
hal men al-ma3qoul anany la o7eboka\o7eboki

Hope it's ok !

Also could be:
كيف لم استطع أن احبك!

For, "how", it could be also
كم هو
كم هو جميل!
كم هو قبيح!
