Hello NNA Long time no see!! Its aman ya leyl, not 3amman aman ya leyl is typically sung in mawals, I'm sorry I dont know what the lit meaning is, its like all the mawals you hear like yabaa, aman aman aman, ya leyl ya leyl ya 3ain, 3almani ilmani ilmani

Yes busy = mash3'ol thats why I didnt write busy

Ma3jo2 = overwhelmed with many things, i.e something is happening so the person is very busy, i.e they dont have time to think

Si hayati?

Anyone Palestinian here? As I want to learn Palestinian accent

I wanna say: Hi all, I am bored.

*jumps up and down* oh me me pick me!! Im palestinian

Do you want to learn fala7i (farmer) or madani(city)? Same words, but in fala7i you replace the 2 with q (or g if from outskirts like gaza) so pen

madani = alam
fala7i = qalam
gazawi = galam
