مرحبا إبراهيم! It's been a while... Thank you so much for the videos!

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Thank you very much, sorry I have been busy but not an excuse :)

[@jeremyswint4758]

Tons of good examples here! I have a quick question and maybe you've mentioned before but, which county's pronunciation are you using? I watch several levantine channels so just trying to get a better idea of all the pronunciation differences. Thank you!

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

levantine :)

[@ivornworrell]

Ahlan wa sahlan ya estaaz, very good video shukran.Is this sentence correct "Biddi kuun hone bukra" (I want to be here tomorrow)? Shukran.

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Yes, correct

[@Kneffi1]

Could you explain more about the meaning of "middle week verbs"? What more categories do exist?

[@andrejoseph2333]

Is there not a mistake a 6.05? You say, example 1: "it's ykün", but "tkün" appears on the screen. I suspect that "tkün" is correct because "sayyara" is feminine, right?

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Exactly, tekun for feminine vocab and yekun is for Masc.

[@kriskilpatrick]

At about 13:11 should it be رح نكون بدنا ? Thank you so much for your lessons.

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Either should be ok, but kept with "He" so it's easier to conjugate but can conjugate the verb to be as well

[@kriskilpatrick]

@@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic OK, does this 'rule' hold for the verb كان alone or are there other verbs were one may conjugate with "He" and not be concerned with the other subject pronoun conjugations?

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

@@kriskilpatrick just this verb as it would be hard to form with others

[@kriskilpatrick]

@@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic Got it. Thank you for the clarification!

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

@@kriskilpatrick just كان but there are other helping verbs some do get conjugated and some don’t. Make some examples so I can guide you
