Would it be better to know both MSA and levantine for time?

BasHa es-sea' tamenye w nos es-sabah?

[@ivornworrell]

*Mar7aba, at about **06:57** in the video:(Ana) bas-Ha es sa-"a ar-ba-"a w nos el fajer.Also, at about **06:10**, can I also say Shu sa-"a for What time, instead of Ay sa-"a ? Sallim edeki.*

[@ivornworrell]

*Mar7aba,:Are the numbers that are used for telling time identical to the counting numbers in the spoken Levantine dialect (for example one=waHdeh, two=tin-tein) etc, or are they slightly different? Shukran.*

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

The same as counting numbers, the exception being numbers one and two; they are in the feminine form for telling time.

[@ivornworrell]

Thank you for the crarification.

[@ivornworrell]

Ahlan mudarrissa, keef Haalik ilyom? inshallah bikheyr.At about 06:10, can the word شو be alternatively used for "ay"? Shukran ya mu3allimeh.

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

It doesn't work well here. We're not asking 'what', we're asking what time or when. So you want do use اي ساعة، متى، ايمتى or any of their variations. There are many variations for this question word in different regions.

[@ivornworrell]

@@LearnLevantineArabic Thank you for answering my question, now I understand.Shukran.

[@ivornworrell]

Ahlan, estaaza, @ about 05:15, if I want to say "It WAS 4 o'clock in the morning" do I just add the word kaan at the beginning of the sentence "Kaan is-saa3a 2arba3a al fajer" ? Shukran.

[@Salah4251HS]

بصحى الساعة الخمسة ونص الفجر

[@wilpimienta]

What if I say: الساعة أرْبَع تمام الفَجِر that's correct?

[@aliabdussalaam2260]

بالعادة، بصحى الساعة ستة و نص.

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

أحسَنْت!

[@aliabdussalaam2260]

Learn Arabic شكرا كتير يا ست! بصراحة صرلي حوالي سنة عم اتعلم شامي. درست فصحى بالجامعة من عدة سنين. بحب فصحى كتير، بس كان بدي عنجد اتعلم اللغة اللي العرب بيحكوها بحياتهن اليومية. مشان هيك، اخترت لهجة واحدة و هلق عم ركز عليها. اخترت شامي لأني بحب كتير تاريخ منطقة بلاد الشام و ثقافتها. و بتمنى سافر ع بلاد الشام شي يوم. الفيديوهات اللي بتعمليهن كتير مفيدة. ممنونك!

[@ivornworrell]

*Mar7aba, at **3:08** in the video, can I also say es sa-'a sit-teh w ashrin (literaly:It is six & twenty)? shukran.*

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

ivor worrell It's better to add (da-'ee-'a) or minute to make it clearer. So it becomes: sit-teh o "esh-reen da-'ee-'a.

[@ivornworrell]

Many thanks.

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

ممتاز

[@spicytranslations9604]

What is the difference between تنتين and تنين?? I thought تنتين might be the feminine version but then you used تلات so that wouldn't make sense.

[@tahh8091]

Why do you pernounceظ like ض؟

[@LearnLevantineArabic]

In spoken Levantine Arabic it is commonly pronounced like that. However, in some Levantine dialects, you will hear it pronounced as ظ.
