Things You Need to Know About Arabic… and English
By THOURIA BENFERHAT
Arabic Dialects - So Far and Yet So Close
www.amazon.com/Arabic-Love-You-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A3%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%83/dp/B08W7DN163
There are four main 3ammiyya groups: Khaleeji, Maghrebi,
Masri and Shaami.
Khaleeji (also called Gulf Arabic or Arabian Peninsular
Arabic; “Khaleeji” means “Gulf” in adjective form). This includes the following dialects: Gulf (Bahraini, Emirati, Qatari), Iraqi, Kuwaiti,
Omani, Saudi, Yemeni.
Maghrebi (also called North African or Western Arabic;
“Maghreb” means “place where the sun sets”. This is in fact where the sun sets on the Arab World; the farthest West). This includes the following dialects: Algerian, Libyan, Mauritanian, Moroccan and Tunisian.
Masri (also called Egyptian Arabic; “Masri” means “Egyptian”). This includes the following dialects: Egyptian and Sudanese.
Shaami (also called Levantine Arabic or Eastern Arabic).
Al-Shaam is the name of a country comprised of what are now Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria). This includes the following dialects: Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian.
---
With the advent of technology (satellite TV, the
internet, social media), dialects have become much more mutually intelligible. It used to take a while for people from different dialect groups to understand each other; or at least it would take a period of adjustment. Following are two anecdotes for illustration.
In the early 70’s, our friends (who were Iraqi and had
lived in Algeria for a few years already) came to visit with their grandmother who was visiting from Iraq. The grandmother did not say much the whole afternoon; however, as they were leaving, she said: “I apologize; I did understand but could not participate much.”
Also, in the early 70’s, we were living in Constantine,
a city in the East of Algeria where, due to geographic proximity, the local dialect is very close to the Tunisian dialect. It was the first time Algerian television showed a Tunisian series. We found it hard to follow… the first few days… but, by the end of the week, we all understood everything and enjoyed the series tremendously! It felt so good to actually experience the cultural and historical closeness with our neighbors!

Demystifying Arabic Sounds: “kha” خ and “ghain” غ
Both sounds are also fricative. This means that, as the air is pushing through, there is friction at the point of articulation (the point where the sound is being produced), between something at the bottom and something at the top of the inside of the mouth or throat.
For the sound “kha”, خ , the friction is between the back of your tongue and the soft palate. The soft palate is the soft part of your palate.
You can physically discover the soft palate by feeling the hard palate with your finger, then moving your finger back until you feel the soft palate.
The sound of “ghain”, غ , on the other hand, is a uvular sound. It is produced by the uvula trying to touch the back of your tongue as the air is pushing through, which results in the uvula repeatedly touching the back of the tongue.
This is what happens when you gargle.
You can actually see the uvula if you wide open. It is that little muscle dangling in the back of your mouth.
You may have seen cartoon characters screaming. You can actually see their uvula dangling in the back of their mouth.
I seem to remember seeing Popeye’s uvula, as he scream, feeling the effects of spinach on his muscles.
This is in fact, the same sound as the French “R”.
You can hear it clearly, in the refrain of Édith Piaf’s song: “Non, je ne regrette rien”.
In fact, I have always wondered why the capital of Iraq is not spelled “Bardad” instead of Bagdad, in French.
Or even better: Bardaad, to accounts for the alif in بغداد.

Arabic Through Songs 7: Lebanese: Oh Oh How Many People There Were! قديش كان في ناس
قديش كان في ناس
Oh how many people there were
On the corner waiting for others
And it would rain
And they would hold umbrellas
But even on the clearest days, no one would wait for me
I've been stuck in this small store for about a hundred years
Even the walls are bored of me
But they're too shy to say so
And I have my eye on his beauty (or just beauty)
And he is in the streets
I sing him songs,
But he is too busy with himself
I waited for so many dates (meetings)
But no one waited for me
I've been inventing addresses for about a hundred years
I don't know who they're for
And I send them news
But someday the sky has to rain on my door…
Umbrellas and loved ones will take me one day.
And the one who remembered everybody, in the end remembered me
قديش كان في ناس
عالمفرق تنطر ناس
و تشتي الدنيي و يحملو شمسية
و أنا بأيام الصحو ما حدا نطرني
صار لي شي مية سنة
مشلوحه بهالدكان
ضجرت مني الحيطان
و مستحيه تقول
و أنا عيني عالحلى
و الحلى عالطرقات
غنيلو غنيات
و هو بحالو مشغول
نطرت مواعيد الأرض
و ما حدا نطرني
صار لي شي مية سنة
عم ألف عناوين
مش معروفة لمين
و وديلن أخبار
بكرا لا بد السما
ما تشتيلي عالباب
شمسيات و أحباب
يخدوني بشي نهار
و اللي ذكر كل الناس
بالآخر ذكرني

Arabic Through Songs 6: Palestinian: BigSam انتي السبب - You are the Reason
You are the reason
إنتي السبب
Oh, smile of a beautiful melody
يا ضحكة اللحن الحلو
Oh, face that's so beautiful
يا الوجه الي ما اجملو
Oh, horses with a spear in the terrain
يا خيل برمح في تضاريس
All my words and their songs that were recorded
كل كلامي واغانيه الي تسجلو
Oh, the one who, when the poets' poetry sees her,
يالي لما يلمحها بيت القصيد
It reproaches the sayer and saying
يعاتب القايل و القول
If the eye sees her from afar,
لو تلمحها العين من بعيد
My soul draws a path no matter how lost it gets in reaching her
روحي ترسم طريق مهما تاه الوصول
On my mind, though it's hard to meet
في بالي لو صعب اللِّقى
I will write to you with my soul until we meet
رح اكتب لك بروحي الى ان نلتقي
If my heart is in the last sky
لو قلبي في آخر سما
I will be striving till I rise
رح يكون السعي إلى أن ارتقي
Take a picture of me with your eyes in which this existence becomes beautiful
صوريني بعينك اللي فيها يحلا هالوجود
You are a breeze in the height of my summer, you are a hug in this cold
انتي نسمة بـعِز صيفي انتي ضمة بهالبرود
The longing of the one longing grows and in your absence roses wilt
يكبر المشتاق شوقه وتذبل فبعدك ورود
With you I broke the limits
فيكي حطمت الحدود
You ask and say
تسأل وتقول
Is it reasonable
يعني معقول
Your mind is still preoccupied with my laugh
بالك في ضحكتي لسا مشغول
You are still asking about my seriousness and I say
لسا بتسأل عن جديتي واقول
Yes, I am lost (in your love)
ايوا انا هايم
You go away often
بتغيب كتير
And I expect justification
و استنى تبرير
And when you laugh, I forget everything that happens
ولما تضحك انسى كل شي بيصير
And I pretend I don't see that this absence is provocative
واتغاضى انو هالغياب مستثير
My standing (constant) longing
شوقي الي قايم
Liberate the army that lives in me, you who have unclothed me with your eyes
حرري الجيش السكن بي ياللي في عيونك عريني
Spread laughter in my world and in you, spread me
انثري الضحكات في دنياي وفيكي انثريني
You beautify the world with your presence, and the secrets contain me
زانت الدنيا بحضورك والخبايا تحتويني
And your sweet, laughing voice delights the soul and my years
وصوتك العذب الضحوك يثلج الروح وسنيني
You are the reason… you are the reason
انتي السبب ... انتي السبب
The day my soul returned without asking
يوم الي ردت روحي فيه بلا طلب
You are the reason… you are the reason
انتي السبب .... انتي السبب
That I am today stronger in half my wars for no reason
يوم اني اقوى بنص حروبي بلا سبب
You are the reason… you are the reason
انتي السبب، انتي السبب
The one who lived in the mawwal* and every verse counted
اللي سكن موال وكل بيت انحسب
You are the reason… and every reason
انتي السبب .... وكل سبب
It made me above the poetry and letters of everyone who wrote
خلاني فوق شعر وحروف كل من كتب

Can you start an Arabic word with an ALIF?
When you see an ALIF at the beginning of word, it’s not just an ALIF. It’s there to carry either a Hamza, a MADDA or a WaSla.
See other episodes on this podcast to find out more about those three.
In the meantime, here are some examples:
Words starting with an ALIF HAMZA:
أنا، أكل، إستقلال
Words starting with an ALIF
MADDA:
آكل، آمال، آسيا
Words starting with a WASLA:
في الييت، واستقبل، بعد انقلاب

What do Arabic Declensions Look Like?
1- Declensions are special makers at the end of words, indicating the grammatical function of the word.
2- The three main noun (and adjective) declensions in Arabic are:
3- Nominative مرفوع, Accusative منصوب and Genitive مجرور.
4- A declension can be a short vowel, a nuunated short vowel, or a longer suffix, containing consonants and vowels.
5- When the declension is a short vowel and the noun or adjective is indefinite, the declension is nuunated.
Counting, in Arabic (listen and repeat), with Quiz
After studying the numbers, you can now listen and repeat to practice counting in Arabic. I have included a little quiz at the end of this podcast. Do let me know if you would like more of these in the future. You can leave a voice message to let me know, or you can email me. Thanks for listening.

What is the difference between 'amaan', 'amaanah' & 'amaanii'?
These three words share the same root, which is أمن.
Here are the meanings of these three words:
'aman', should read: 'amaan': أمان, safety, security, protection, or trust.
'amanah', should read: 'amaanah': أمانة, honesty, integrity, or trustworthiness.
'amani', should read: 'amaanii' (though technically can only take a final long ii when definite;
when indefinite, it is “amaanin”آَمانٍ):
أماني, hopes, aspirations, or dreams.

How do you say “two” in Arabic? Pronunciation, Grammar and Dialects
When a noun is isolated in Arabic, it is in the nominative case, so that would be ITHNAAN.
That being said, when Arabs speak, about 90 percent of them use ITHNAYN regardless of grammatical context, even though it is grammatically incorrect half the time.
All of the above is in the masculine. The equivalent feminine forms are ITHNATAAN and ITHNATAYN, respectively.
