Please Help!!

Peace-and-Love · 03-25-2007, 04:22 AM

I made a previous thread that no one had answered, so I thought I would do it again....Can someone please transliterate the following phrases for me:

Are you tired?

Look now, hurry up!

Look at him/her

He/She talks too much

What happened?

Who is he/she?

Why?

What?

Where?

Who?

Can we leave?

-----

Also, I keep hearing someone say this when they are speaking Arabic "ya ani" or something like that. Say it out loud and it might make sense, what does this mean?

Thanks!

Transliteration of classical Arabic? Sure, I'll be using the usual 3 and 7 and 2 for the letters 3ayn, 7aa2 and hamza (if that makes any sense to you)

I'll start by the end, you meant ya3ni = which means/meaning... Yes, many Arabic speaking people say that while talking, especially in middle eastern countries, we have a different expression here.

You weren't precise about prunouns and conjugations, so I'll be suggesting different forms.
M.S = masculine singular.
F.S = feminine singular.

Are you (m.s) tired? = hal anta mot3ab?
Are you (f.s) tired? = hal anti mot3abah?

Look (m.s) now, hurry up! = undhor al2ân, asre3!

Look (m.s) at him = undhor ilayh.
Look (m.s) at her = undhor ilayhâ.

She talks too much = innahâ tatakallamo kathîran.
He talks too much = innaho yatakallamo kathîran.

What happened? = mâdha 7aSal?

Who is he? = man huwa?
Who is she? = man hiya?

Why? = limâdhâ?

What? = mâdhâ?

Where? = ayn?

Who? = man?

Can we leave? = hal nasTatî3o an nar7al?

PS: I just deleted the old thread, now that you got the answer in here.

Thanks for the reply!

You're always so helpful!

I know this may now be a hassle, but would it be possible to give me the transliteration for Syrian/Lebanese Arabic of the same phrases?

If not, that's okay! (I kinda forgot that you would probably write in Classical Arabic)

Asminha · 04-01-2007, 03:41 PM

You always should make clear what you exactly want. This way we'll not get wasted effort, nor will you loose time waiting for a new reply!
Anyways, here they are in Lebanese:
(I am not a native Lebanese, there might be some mistakes in there)

Are you (m.s) tired? = t3ebet?
Are you (f.s) tired? = t3beti?

Look (m.s) now, hurry up! = shoof halla2, bser3a!

Look (m.s) at him = boss la2elo
Look (m.s) at her = boss la2la

She talks too much = 3am te7ki ktir
He talks too much = 3am ye7ki ktir

What happened? = sho sar?

Who is he? = meen howwi?
Who is she? = meen hiyyi?

Why? = leeh?

What? = sho?

Where? = wayn?

Who? = meen?

Can we leave? = feena nfell?

There you go.

Again, I apologize for not making that clear. I completely forgot.

Thanks so much!

Asminha · 04-01-2007, 08:12 PM

No problem

And you're most welcome.
