You guys are so great at teaching
Thank you so much.

Can you say hatHa instead of qe63ah?

Thanks antjet

Qe63ah – قطعة means a piece

HatHa means something completely different if it’s what I think you mean. هاتها – Haataha is a colloquial word that means give her to me. So you can use this with قطعة since it’s a feminine object (A noun that ends with ة) e.g. point at the piece and say haataha

اعطيني يعني I want ام Give me?

Waziir13, (أعطيني) means (give me).
Moshaya, probably Antjet meant (hettah) or (7ettah) which also means (piece) in Egyptian dialect. It is actually difficult to tell the word without using the numbers to replace certain letters. I am not even %100 sure that 7ettah is what Antjet meant lol

I think I meant 7ettah But didnt know how to spel it.
And I think it is Egypt dialect because I heard it on a vacation in Egypt They asked me 'awisha 7ettah about a cake.
I can see it can create confussions if you dont know how to speld the words
But anyway you are so helpful and instructive and I just love to listening to your lessons.
Thanks

I by the way want to ask if you have a list for the rules in what to put before a word or after a word so it means, you, mine, yours, his, hers and so on.
For example in this lesson you have the word 2u36eeh. It is a basic word but by putting a Sa infront it suddenly means will give and by putting a ah after it means him.
I dont know if you know what I mean but I have seen in some of the other lesson you also put something infront and behind a word and suddenly it means a whole sentence.
Are there any basic rules for that? Do you have a list with the rules? And also sometimes it could be nice to know the basic word that has been build up to be a whole sentence
Hope you understand what I mean.

There are many examples when you add a letter to a word at the beginning or at the end and the meaning changes Pronouns for instance are good example. Use the search facility that is available with the lessons to find podcasts that discuss pronouns, in fact we made a lesson called (Subject Pronouns with verbs) that talks in details about certain type of pronouns and has good visual tutorial to support you understanding the lesson.

your lessons keep improving my arabic - thanks lads.What about the imperative of the verb "to continue" -اكمل
is this classic the way it has been done in the lesson ?

Thank you for the answer
I will look the other exsamples.

hello
I have difficulty pronouncing/hearing the word after "sa" in the last line of the dialogue : can you help & give some explanation for the sounds ? thx

Well, the word is (u36y أعطي) which means (I give). If you have access to the Sharepoint, then try our Arabic Pronunciation Guide under Flashes, where you can hear every letter individually. Also the exercise that is coming with this lesson has the word (a36i أعط) which means (give) pronounced on its own.
Finally, in ArabicPod Dictionary, if you search for the word (give) you'll get many examples of how that word sounds.

Dear teachers,
I do not visit your site so much neither haven't heard most of your lessons, but what I have makes me notice that you often forget to mention feminin forms. Reasons are evident, but on behalf of female users let me ask you to keep it in your mind during your explanations. Thank you in advice.
I am really grateful for your efforts. Wish you all the best.From Russia with respect,
Irina

I was wondering about a grammatical point in Arabic that I cannot remember. Is it possible to have two pronoun objects? I mean can we say : "Give it to him" like this:
اعطيهها
the first ـه = him, then ـها = it (the piece)
I think there might be a way to do this without saying the actual noun as you do in the dialogue... but I forgot the form of the second object pronoun. In spanish for instance you can say "se lo", for "it to/for him".

Anyway just wondering. Thanks!

I'm thinking أعطيها له
Give it(fem.) to him.

You could actually link two object pronouns at the same time, but to be honest it is not common in modern Arabic and it can be complicated. So one should be confident of his/her Arabic knowledge before linking two object pronouns.
An example is from the Quran, the word (نلزمكموها) where (نلزم) is the verb which means (we commit), then the (كم) is (you-plural) and finally the (ها) is (it), so all of would be (we commit you with it).

hmm i was wondering becoz of the way u say ur surname ehab, is it saleh or sale7? :D:D:D

It is actually 9ale7 صالح

ohh cool cool :D thanx so much
