Hilarious Lebanese Expressions

[@TarekMidani]

It's funny I grew up in Syria and always loved the sarcasm in "show me the width of your shoulders"

[@carlosacta8726]

Hahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

[@LiveGently2605]

Lol! We use the same sarcastic offensive/encouraging words! 🤣🤣

As an Iraqi, I have always loved all of the "Al-Sham dialects". But when it comes to Lebanese & Syrian ones, they are my favorite from all other Arabic dialects. Love you all

[@melissag1175]

“I’m going to feed you death” 😂😂😂 fantastic!! Loved that you explained the Spanish sarcasm as well. Growing up you feared the the Spanish sayings, but as you get older you realized how cheesy they are. Love that the Lebanese culture seems to be the same.

[@chonglisun]

Oh! I found one that sounds so familiar in our culture! That word is “WALAW”. In our culture (Malaysian/Singaporean) we tend to use this word a lot! I am not sure if they come from the same origin (which I don’t think so), but in our culture, the origin of this word is from a Chinese slang 「哇佬 wā láo」which can have a lot of meanings depending on the context, but roughly this can be used to show: 1. Anger 2. Dissatisfaction 3. Jealousy 4. Disbelief 5. The feeling of getting cheated 6. Envy 7. Proud and many more Example of usage: * The following sentence structure might sounds weird to you, but in Manglish/Singlish, this is totally fine * p/s: Please google it if you are not sure what is Manglish or Singlish Mark: Eh Chris, you see that guy in our class, usually very quiet one, turns out that he scored Straight As in the final exam leh. Chris: Walao! So nice! I everyday study also still can’t get even one A! Damn envy of him leh! How good if I can be half of him. Mark: Please la! Rather than you envy people, why not you put extra effort? Chris: Walao! Lazy sia... Explanation: The first “Walao” shows that Chris is envy of the quiet guy who scored his exam with flying colours. The second “Walao” shows that Chris is reluctant to put extra effort for his studies.

[@rihambasheer5548]

It’s like saying (so what). That’s what walao would mean. And, we used it same as you

[@janslehmann05]

Hi Mark, I like your videos and thanks for your touch of humor to them. I was super excited you were giving lessons on Patreon but I went to sign up and saw you don't teach with the Arabic script. I took a class to learn the Arabic alphabet and am working on reading and pronouncing with them. I know Lebanese young people don't use it, but I'm primarily learning Levantine to communicate with my in-laws (via text message on what's app included) and the older members of the family don't talk like with latin letters and 7, 3 and 5. I just wanted to ask you to pretty please make videos with the Arabic script (it's also something beautiful and worth teaching) and if you do I'll be the first to sign up. It's so hard to find a good teacher of the Levantine dialect, there are lots on KZbin teaching fusha and some others that don't make consistent videos which give a structured progression from beginner to intermediate. Anyway, I just wanted to make that request. Thanks!

[@luci8817-r]

I wonder how that went for you? I'm a 30yo from Lebanon and usually text using the Latin script. What I don't like about texting in Lebanese using the Arabic script (though I've been trying to do it more these days) is that orthography rules are not applied as strictly as with MSA. It makes sense because Arabic grammar (قواعد) can only be imperfectly transposed to dialects. But it bothers me a bit, because I've observed that people tend to make a lot of typos (for example, writing ا instead of ة at the end of a word or vice versa, س instead of ص, or worst of all, أ instead of ق), and the art of proper writing is slowly getting lost. But basically, writing Lebanese sentences using the Arabic script has a lot to do with intuition and following how words sound, and the spelling will probably change slightly from person to person. It's hard to explain but I hope this was clear. I'm curious about your experience (if you ever see this comment) because I've never heard of someone learning the Lebanese dialect AND the proper ways to write it in Arabic. That's pretty cool.
