Levantine Arabic: How to say "still" - Part 1

You can also use lissa, which becomes lissaat when you add an attached prounoun.

[@PhaedraDarwish]

This was a great one. I love your format

[@طاريہخان]

How many words do they use for planning , حطط,برنامج ، ؟؟

[@faizanhashmi389]

We can use ما ذال

[@yunigraceyang9217]

Excellent! Very practical, thank you. How do you say "already", as in "They ate already?"

[@imwaleed1268]

In that sentence you would use the word صار for already. Here is how the sentence would look in the levantine dialect همَ صارو ماكلين Another way of writing this sentence although less common where I am from is: قد أكلو It might be different in other levantine countries but these two ways are how it would be said in Palestine.

[@yunigraceyang9217]

@@imwaleed1268 Awesome! Very helpful. Thank you.

[@days_hadd]

what about the words saabiq and saabiqan? could anyone help with these?

[@sarahjon1117]

Wonderful Talia. This really helps with memorization which for me s a problem. Your work is priceless, please continue to enrich us. Shukran ya warde.

[@sirnightcube4701]

يعطيكي العافية طاليى. شكرا كتير لهاي فيديو!! كتير مفيدة. So, how do you practice speaking arabic at home when there is nobody you could talk to? Because, I think it is really important to speak on daily basis, mish heek?

[@yesemeowmeow]

I speak with my self, or I read something and I try to give my opinion, to myself, sounds weird but it works, or wherever I think i say it out loud, it works

[@thelanguagelife7962]

I actually don't really practice speaking as much as I would like to, but I have some Arab friends I practice with sometimes and I also take italki lessons now and then. Anyway, I would definitely recommend looking for a language exchange partner or teacher on www.italki.com :)

[@days_hadd]

finally... thank you lol... these little things are very important... what about "lissa" for still... "لسا" can we add the pronouns to the end of it like ba3id?

[@tiemenbosma5793]

Yes, you would say لساتني، لساتك، لساته etc

Teacher, how to say: 1. I play the guitar. 2. I play the bass guitar. 3. I play the keyboard. 4. I play the drums. 5. I play the saxophone.

[@bototheworld]

How does this differ from لسا؟ (shukran ktiir for these videos btw)

[@Ahmad-vu2tj]

We use the both لسا ، بعد

[@louis1505]

Started learning arabic at the beginning of this year and I guess progress hasn't been as quick as I'd have liked because I struggle to find resources at home to help, just found your channel today and it has been super helpful. Please keep up the video's it's really helpful.

[@rupertwalker673]

Thanks a lot...for new lesson, it really describe the word in different context which is very helpful to understand while conversation among listener and speaker...

[@PHIllip324]

Quick question: In the Levantine dialect, is the letter Qaf ق completely silent or are there some cases where you would enunciate it?

[@thelanguagelife7962]

There are some words where it is generally pronounced :)

[@dreamtobeapolyglot8444]

Do you know of a Levantine/English dictionary?

[@keel-billedtoucan7615]

thank you SUPER lesson

[@ayamkampung500]

I look dictionery بعد meaning after

[@popwittenino7411]

hi always great videos. I am interested in learning passive voice without using passive participle. Is there such a way? Would you do a video on how to say “ The book was written by him. The book is written by him. The book will be written by him.”

[@jaimeespanola7042]

Hi, Talia! I'm new to your channel :). Can you please tell me what specific dialect you are teaching? Is it Palestinian? Lebanese? Syrian? Jordanian? Thank you!

[@thelanguagelife7962]

Welcome!😍 Palestinian😁

[@ivanalekhine]

what's the meaning of this word? ناوية, I can see you used it in 2 different examples as "plan"

[@thelanguagelife7962]

It's the active participle of the verb نوى, which means to intend on/plan on (doing something)

[@rightupthere]

Thank you; It’s something so little yet still (pun not intended) important and useful to know

[@MrJose786]

Thanks for your vids Are you able to explain meaning of عم in "ما لقيت إلي عم بدور عليه شكرا!

[@thelanguagelife7962]

You can add it before a present tense verb to indicate an action that is taking place at the moment of speech. Like the present continuous in English😎

[@hannibal311]

Thanks for your videos Your so motivating I'm learning iraqi Arabic but a lot of the words from Levantine carry over so it's helping ! Your pronunciation os very good too

[@jamesbarsh3471]

Great video. What about the word Lissa? لسى or لسا

[@goldenarmor2099]

I was going to ask the same thing!

[@ginismoja2459]

I haven't seen it written as لسى. Only لسه and لسا.

[@thelanguagelife7962]

Lissa لسا and ba3ed بعد are 100 percent interchangeable. It just depends on the area. I will make a note about this in the info box shortly :)

*3wafi Talia, at **01:27** you pronounced 'the book' as le-ktab, but can it also be 'al ktab' ? Shukran.*

[@janslehmann05]

ivor worrell no, it had something to do with the moon and sun letters in Arabic. It’s spelled al ktab but pronounced l-ktab.

[@thelanguagelife7962]

No. We add the helping vowel to break up the three consonant cluster since it is difficult to pronounce three consonants in a row :)

[@ivornworrell]

@@janslehmann05 Thanks for the reply, but as far as I know, if 'al' comes before a sun letter, the lam in 'al' is NOT pronounced although it is still written, so I am now confused as to why the word it should not be al ktab (or il ktab in the Shami dialect) because the letter kaf (in the word ktab), is a moon letter.Shukran

[@ivornworrell]

@@thelanguagelife7962 Yikhlif akeli Talia, this really helps.

[@ivornworrell]

@@janslehmann05 Hello, Spoken Arabic Simplified cleared it up for me beaujtifully, it has to do with inserting a vowel, ya in this case, to prevent an awkward sound in pronouncing three sonsecutive consonants (lam, kaf & ta, in al ktab).
