4 Awesome Arabic Expressions You Need To Know

[@eglaham]

I grew up with adami but learned a couple of years ago that it didn't have the same connotation in Cairo! Nothing bad fortunately, they just understood it in its literal meaning and didn't recognize it as a compliment.

[@reemayoub5124]

Man they are so relatable for Lebanese ppl

[@heroisbanned2]

Agreed

[@keithhyde5961]

Being half Lebanese (father's side), you are so right. My father would be proud of your videos!

[@A.Qazzaz]

Yoo man we have all of those expressions in Iraq in the exact form as you demonstrated it, which is great, and i as a Lebanese accent speaker can also say there are many similarities between Iraqi and Lebanese accents, and the bond between us i guess is the Syrian accent.

The only suggestion would be to write all that expressions in Arabic as well :)

[@joyoftraveling2020]

Mark, Can you make a video shows how to pronounce Arabic food and dish in the right pronunciation such as فلافل

[@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

Here are two interesting Lebanese phrases I'd like to share: "ha2lé yok!" this phrase could be used after when you do something like spend most your money on so much products instead of saving up money and "ana rayéh fondo!" this phrase could be used usually after taking a vaccine, and you're experiencing like dizziness. Overall, there explanations are very hard to define in English lol 😅

1:40, about the word halal as a loanword: It's very interesting how some loanwords come to mean something totally diferent in another language; from Arabic, through persian, and then, through Ottoman Turkish [during the Ott.Occupation of Greece], the words "halal" and "haram" entered the Greek language, but with altered connotations: their derivative forms, that is, "χαλάλι/chalali" [noun], "χαλαλίζω/chalalizo" [verb] + "χαράμι/charami" [noun], "χαραμίζω/charamizo" [verb], refer to something one may sacrifice that was worth it or it was wasteful, respectively, probably because the words didn't have the same religious connotations for the Christian population.

[@-NAR]

Note : if it wasn't Ottoman , you don't be a live this time they was going to Greece to save your a$$ from Catholic ~ it's disrespect when I see someone say 'occupation'

[@michaelsaba7765]

Love watching your videos, they are awesome. 😊 My cousin and I used to translate English songs or group names into Arabic (direct translations). Eg. Guns and Roses, Ice House, U2. Would love to see you do a video of that please!

[@monorovic]

I probably wont miss your class if you have an arabic language class (physical, not online). 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@josephhabib8702]

when i was a kid my dad would say 7aram to taunt me for whining if i was being a brat too. basically for both real and feigned sympathy depending on tone.

[@gluemanred]

Mark: bek chi b’3a2lak? Me: sorry Mark: saraoor yeklak

[@alphaviews4639]

Someone ain't missing arm day.

[@drnomad16]

Not sure if you mentioned this in a previous video but…. “shlonack?” or “shloneck?” which literally means “what’s your color?” but is asking “how are you?”

[@A.Qazzaz]

He’s Lebanese and in his videos he explains about the Lebanese Arabic, “shlonack” and “shloneck” don’t exist in the Lebanese accent as far as i know, they do exist in the Syrian and Iraqi accents.

[@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

We Lebs say "keefak?"

Hey Mark, not sure if you are aware of the situation in Germany but Palestinians are suffering under German guilt. The journalist Nemi El-Hassan has lost her job for protesting in support of Palestine. Hope I can draw your attention to this! There are a few articles if you Google around.
