[@rubenvaldes7392]

I'm a chef, and it was actually my first taste of كبة that got me interested in middle eastern food. I went to the owner and asked if I could work for free so I could learn how to make the food. They let me in and it turned into my first mentorship when I was 15. I have been in love with the culture ever since.

[@nonotoriouszz]

When are you going to teach us Portuguese? And how to make bacalao?

[@leenal-sayed9444]

Hi Maha. In Syria, we call it Labneh, not Labaneh. Shawarma in Turkish is basically döner (şavurma). Kebab is kebap which is different. I’m a native Arab who speaks Turkish as well. Also bulgur is correct but in Turkish. 😊

[@sheilakammoun1673]

Im Syrian from Australia and yes we say Labni. Lebanese also say Labni

[@colinafobe2152]

bulgur comes from Arab برغل (burḡul) which comes from Persian برغول (barğūl)

[@maimohammed529]

Ok whats the probrem if we palestinians say labaneh! This is really how we say it!

[@painter4875]

@@maimohammed529 there's no problem! Just the claim in the video that labneh is wrong is incorrect.

[@DizzyDahlia]

Yes, the thing that some do forget is that there's several dialects of Arabic. My family is half from Bagdhad and also Morocco; there's different pronunciations for many dishes and words in general. I think perhaps instead of saying that the rest of the Middle Eastern world is "mispronounce" these things, just perhaps offer as alternatives or how your region says these things. I also don't recall being "upset" when people mispronounce hummus, but i guess priorities? 😂

[@mtgfoilcommander6338]

I mispronounce all of them, now on purpose because my Arabic wife find it adorable 😂

I have a Latina wife and do the same thing. Saying tortilla like Godzilla is my favorite. Also, I always talk about obviously Americanized Mexican foods, like the offerings from Taco Bell and so on, to be just like her Abuela used to make. Yeah, she barely puts up with me most days.

[@ZenMoon143]

I really appreciate your videos. My partner is Palestinian and Egyptian and your videos have helped me to speak the language so much better.

[@levimusitz9186]

Hummus with za'atar and olive oil is the best!

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

Arabs don’t commonly mix Hummus with Zaatar. That’s an interesting mix that I might try!

[@Markel_A]

It is delicious!!

[@faya6974]

When I go to Europe or America, I have to pronounce our Arabic food the way they say it so they could understand lol

[@CjqNslXUcM]

in germany if you ask for sharwarma, you will get shawarma, but to get kebab, you need to ask for döner (turkish) which is a type of kebab in a flatbread invented in berlin.

[@UhtredOfBamburgh]

In Canada shawarma and kebab are called by their proper names by everyone and is one of the most common fast foods. Zatar is starting to appear now too in fancier places i love it!

[@ndhaipagalan8284]

Falafel, hummus, shawarma, manaqeesh, t-heeneh, tabbouleh, burghul(i really loved it).saudia

[@Nodecay]

My favorite dish, which you can never find in restaurants, is Shish Barak. My Sito used to make it all the time on cold rainy days and I miss it sooooo much....... I wish you would show how to make it, so I could relive my childhood. :-) Thank you and love your content.

[@baadiyahaw1906]

Salaam Maha 🧡 greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦! I would like to make tabbooleh and baklava please! I'm trying really hard to be consistent with learning Arabic but at the moment I'm demotivated. Please pray for us that God makes it easy to learn Arabic! شكرا لك!!

[@raegitano6345]

Hi I'm from the same country.

[@AmirRNur]

Biryani and shawarma I love it shokran watching from the Philipines

[@salimaguliyeva6822]

6:51 Burghul is in Arabic, however bulgur is in Turkish. And it is super super delicious. Everyone should taste it at least once at his/her life😍❤

[@catrionarasdale]

Also Bulgur in English, taken from the Turkish

[@injunsun]

I wondered how we English speakers got the consonants switched. Thanks.

[@heatherabusneineh6281]

I’m fasting today and this video is making me hungry. 😋

[@umutaslan1440]

Haha I really loved this vidéo I ate bulgur tahin today and ate zahtar yesterday for breakfast in Turkey here. I ve never knew they were arab origine except zahtar because on the package it's written in arabic 😂

[@darrellvictorbalian5544]

Lahmacun is one of my favorite Middle Eastern foods.

[@DanielleDeFreeze]

Maha I love you lololol! You did the country southern American accent so perfectly @00:59 You sounded like you were directly from Nashville 😄I laughed so hard! 🙌

[@zainabaref6588]

May God protect you dear Maha .💗 I really do enjoy and learn Arabic with fun and passion. 😇 Much love from Afghanistan 🖤❤💚

[@mortezaamirkhani4508]

hi Maha, i was fortunate to have alebanise roomate at the college and he used to make these foods very eloquently and a agree they are so delicious and now every often i get a chance i go to an arabic restaurants and i order them. this video of your was great as usual. thank you Maha

[@L3bn3ni_305]

Maha, my favorites are Warak Enab,, Tabouleh, and Kibbeh... ❤️💯 Yum!

[@StarOnTheWater]

Thanks! I always love your videos that involve food, because... food!!! 😄 I don't know if I have been exactly "mispronouncing" these because they have been dort of adapted into the German language. We write "Tahini" and I guess that's our word for it. But it's very good to know the origin 😊

[@salimaguliyeva6822]

1:42 In Azerbaijan we have shawarma beside kebab. We pronounce it as shaurma. It is really super yummy and my favorite😍

[@Tzimisce777]

In Russia we also pronounce it as shaurma, I think we borrowed it from you or from Tatars.

[@lubnan08]

Shawarma is an Arab food but now adapted worldwide

[@alexnikolov2654]

shawarma is called DONER in turkish and in Bulgaria

[@earlykaligula9130]

Am Kenyan in Qatar I make kubeh and waraqanab

[@jakubr4634]

My absolutely favorite dish is hummus (which I heard pronounced in million ways). Unfortunately, there aren’t many Arabic restaurants around where I live, but my Nr. 1 is a quaint restaurant run by a Moroccan guy.

[@luisfccosta]

Here in Brazil we have a very big Arab community and we pronounce most of those names correctly. Maybe our language, Portuguese, helps a bit. Anyway, thanks for the video. Loving the channel. By the way, the kubbeh here in Brazil is called kibe (pronounced keebê) and the manaqeesh is called esfiha. Not sure why so different. 😁

[@valerioluizfelipe]

Here in Brazil we say kibbeh instead of kubbeh because it's the Lebanese accent. Most immigrants to Brazil were from Lebanon and Syria. Sfiha and manaqish are different but similar dishes, sfiha is smaller.

[@SoothingSoundsGL]

Just wanted to say that you are Amazing!! I truly enjoy listening to and learning from you! Would this dialect be spoken in the Gulf Arab region?

[@LearnArabicwithMaha]

Thank you! MSA is well understood by all arabs, and the Shami Dialect is pretty much clear for the Gulf Arab people as well🤞🏽

[@Bellasie1]

My favorite dishes in the list are hummus and tabbuleh and outside the list baba ganoush and fatush, but also mahalabiya for dessert. In France, tabbuleh is so incredibly popular (albeit in a version with couscous) that you can find it in all supermarkets.

[@theingegnere]

As italian I always pronounced Tabulè 😅.Thanks for explaining them.I do love them.All very yummy.

[@Nemevv]

Thanks for this video, but in Lebanon they do say "labneh" not "labaneh" and it's not a mispronunciation, it's some dialectal variation. They also say "kebbeh" instead of "kubbeh" and "knefeh" instead of "knafeh".

[@heatherabusneineh6281]

Thyme is pronounced “time”.

[@malgorzatamiroslawakim7187]

The fried kobbe is called Kobeiba in Egypt

[@tusiingwiretopista7626]

Hi definitely like your English and you are an excellent prophesier

[@darhor4002]

Shawarma sounds like sarma. In my country(Croatia) sarma is minced meat wrapped with cabbage.

[@shafiquerahibkhan6253]

I’ve been in Saudi Arabia for 30 years. I used to have falafel sandwich or za’atar croissant almost daily in breakfast. Now I badly miss both of them as it’s not available in Pakistan. In Jeddah, Makkah and Medina falafel is called “ ta’amia” طعمية.

[@basmalawael2389]

In Egypt we use both طعمية و فلافل 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ninjamohawk]

I think the recipe I use for za'tar is from one of your videos

[@lubnan08]

All Americans need this lesson.

[@jamesm.3967]

LNGG's Channel I speak English very well and I don’t need a lesson in how to pronounce foods that I eat. If I go to an Arabic speaking country that’s different. It’s about being understood.

[@Goca-B]

I Love your lessons. You’re so lovely too 🌷

[@OfficialJuneMusic]

Ive realised this is a pronunciation video centered around the Palestinian way to say the words, in Australia where im from we would call the raw meat “kibbeh nayeh” which I’d assume is focused around the Lebanese interpretation of the dish, as our country is full of brothers and sisters from Lebanon 🇱🇧 . much respect and many thanks to you though! Very informative video ❤️

[@maximwegner5668]

There is a syrian falafel-shop in Hamburg where they make lebanese makanek-sandwich with arabic bread and thin sausages. That's delicious.

[@sero6611]

Wo Hamburg

[@lubnan08]

Great vid. Lebanese dont say Kubbeh, we say Kibbeh. And we say Labneh.

[@caraluvi]

And say belewe not baqlawa.

[@princesselmira8549]

So interesting and funny way to learn arabic with Maha😍

[@LearnArabicwithMaha]

Shukran😍

[@mikidias]

I'm personally already used to pronounce all these traditional Arab recipes and quit used to eat them too, even though I'm not used to eat them all, because I'm European and here there's lack of everything... I basically eat 2 or 3 recipes. Nothing else 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😓 😞 My favourite Arab food recipes are Falastini 🇵🇸, Saudi 🇸🇦 w Yemeni 🇾🇪 Kisses and hugs, Ya Maha! 🤗 😙 💛 Salam min Bortuqal 🇵🇹 👋🏻

Shawerma in Egyptian, Falafel is Ta'meyya in Egyptian made of Fool (fava beans)

[@coffeeandwords]

Would love to see you do a video on Arab coffees, specifically Lebanese and Turkish coffees and any other versions that are out there. We have recently been making Lebanese and Turkish coffee at home and love it!

[@thenobleone-3384]

Maha this is great to know. I'm East African and I love North African food. Falafel and Shawarma is great. Here in America Middle Eastern food is expensive

[@thenobleone-3384]

@Hamza I know I'm East African and I like Sudanese food and Moroccan food which is North African. I have had Arab food like Lebanese/Syrian but I prefer North African cuisine. Everyone is different with what they like.

[@ninacheb5252]

I adore arab food!!💙sooo difficult to find the right place in Milan with the real hummus😭

[@nonotoriouszz]

Not really next time I will tell you where to go

[@SamFriedrich-hf7tt]

Thyme in English English pronounced same as ‘time’, and Summac is a dried crushed berry so technically a fruit.

[@thomas.alexander.]

In English we pronounce Thyme as Time

[@lucyrafaela3229]

in Lebanon we call manaqeesh "manousheh" - again no idea why 😂 Loved this video! x

[@DPCrescendolls]

Man'ousheh is the singular word. Mana'eesh is plural :)

[@oseasprog]

Thank you teacher! Your classes are amazing! You're great! Congrats! :)

[@marcioviannaf]

The pronunciation in Brazil is mostly influenced by Lebanese. Some dishes and ingredients are translated into Portuguese. Since the beginning of Lebanese immigration in the 19th century, many of the dishes have become so popular that are considered Brazilian by now. One name that hás puzzled me for a time is "esfiha" (don't know the Arabic word). Is it the same as manqeesh? In Brazil, the edges of the dough are a little raised, forming a well of sorts for the filling. Also, if you say kibe, you mean the fried ones by default. For the raw one, you have tô say "kibe cru".

[@sammathai761]

In India we call khubs (bread) kooboos. I have no idea why 😂

[@backinstolaf]

Manaqeesh is literally my favorite thing ever 😋

[@ansarsr3807]

tayyeb . Shukran Jazeelan. I learned many pronounciations.

[@raychat2816]

For those wishing to say labneh in Lebanese, please follow how Maha says NOT to say it and mispronounced :P she says it perfectly well, but no matter how you pronounce it, it's just as good to eat :D, w great vid ya Maha Now I found something to tease my life long Palestinian friend with, 25 years and counting, labAneh, and when asked I'll share the link to the video, ana ma khassneh, Maha heik alit :D:D as for foods I love: mloukhiyyeh, or mouloukhiyya as mispronounced in different parts of the Levant :P

[@mdidrishahmed8146]

Your lessons on Arabic verb patterns are very helpful . But three of them are available on utube . What about others ?

[@LearnArabicwithMaha]

Thank you! Coming soon!!

[@johnlondon1215]

Many foods that are known as Turkish food originally are Kurdish food. Kebab is also a Kurdish Food. Like baklava, lahmacun etc.

[@chiaracanton6496]

I bought a quantity of summac in Greece, for here in Italy I can't find it, and I really love it ❣

[@q3a2]

If you can find an Arabic store they'll definitely have sumac

[@injunsun]

Various species of this grow wild in the U.S., and are native here. Most people don't know the edible floral/seed parts are edible. Some people use this to make a refreshing tea, with floral and lemony notes.

[@diogoveloso8437]

Hey maha its funny you say it is kubbeh but tbh ive always heard kibbeh.. at least thats how i learned to say it from lebanese people Btw concerning burghul, in english the correct word is bulgur so probably thats why it is mispronounced by many people Once again thanks so much lots of love 😘😘😘

[@sheilakammoun1673]

Syrians say Kobbee, Iraqis Kubba, and Lebanese say Kibbeh. Its all about the Arab origin dialect

In the USA, shawarma gets mispronounced life this: the wrap is called "gyro: (greek word), and shawarma (said "shwarma") if it's on a plate with no bread.

[@mdheartsuju]

Thyme is pronounced time 😊

[@1998tkhri]

Regarding ħummuṣ, the pronunciation of /χumus/ as opposed to /ħʊmːʊsˤ/ is a little more valid, since it's based on the Hebrew word חוּמוּס as opposed to the Arabic word حمص. Similarly, the difference between the end vowel in ṭəḥina/ṭəḥine, since it has a long 'a' in the Hebrew טְחִינָה.

[@Farid1213]

[@timt7353]

Really beautiful woman in a lot of ways, you have lots of charisma coming out. You may be happy to know such things like hummus and falafel have kept a pale blonde guy in the North West of England sustained for a long time, I'm vegetarian they're part of my staple diet, whole chickpeas curries etc are great. Tahini very nice but expensive here, I used to use bulgar wheat a lot as an alternative but didn't have the knowledge how to use it in a traditional sense. One time I had a whole roasted cauliflower with Tahini blended with herbs (was green!) coated over it, that was amazing

[@traceymaggs9651]

Hi Maha thankyou so much , i love your style and i love tabbouleh x

[@gold-toponym]

Hummuss and shawarma I noticed some of the dishes end with 'Eh' isn't it usually supposed to be pronounced 'ah" or is it just the dialect

[@q3a2]

yeah in the shaami dialect the ta marbuta is usually pronounced as ee instead of ah. example dabka in fus7a becomes dabke in shaami, taboulah in fus7ha becomes taboule in shaami, Taawala (table) becomes Tawle in shaami

[@nadaehab263]

In English they both written with(H) but in Arabic we have 2 letters first is (ح) which is always hard for foreigners to pronounce and the second is(ه) with is like (h) in English but the(ه) can be written in many different ways like(هرة)(يفهم) in these two words there are 3 types of(ه)

[@maimohammed529]

Most palestinians pronounce it eh Some ppl.. Not all.. In the gaza strip pronounce it a.. Just as in standard arabic

[@sajidsk3947]

I think it's TAMEEA. Falafel is veg sandwich in Saudi.
