    Oh, my God, you guys are so funny! But I have to ask - between the sound effects in this one, and the cockroach eating a few lessons back, are you just trying to gross us out? smile

    yer this is a good one LOL bathroom is spelt حمّام in arabic, prounounced 7ammaam. Another name I learned for toilet is مرحاض or mir7aa9', I don't know if this word is commonly used or not!

    Hi there guys,

    That is a very nice part of lesson,which will be handy for everyone.
    I know also one extra word,which I use sometimes "دورة المياه"(dawrat al-miyah)I heard it in Egypt as far as I remember it means also "toilet".

    One question about word"Ye7’aleek"
    is it comes from word"خلى"(khallA)-to abandom,to leave.Can you give 2 examples of using this word?
    The rest lesson was quite easy and I really liked

    Bye for now

    Yes czarek25, "خلى"(khalla)means to leave or to let. An example is:
    خليني أنام - let me sleep, or leave me to sleep.
    Also another example in lesson (Wake up), just go to the lessons page and search for (wake up), we've used the verb there.

    "Ana hashraan" can be rendered idiomatically into English as "I'm at bursting point" or "I'm close to bursting". Typical examples of such word combinations can be found on the Web.

    Hello,

    Thank you for this funny and useful lesson smile

    Can the word حشران be used after you eat a big meal, indicating that your stomach is full to its limits?

    @cebrax, Glad you liked the lesson smirk

    No حشران just means that you are desperate to go to the toilet. The word that means full from a meal means

    شبعان
    Shab3aan

    A lot of people say the verb

    شبعت
    Shabe3t

    after completing a meal which is the verb meaning "I became full"

    @Moshaya

    Oh, that is really bad news. It also explains the facial expression on the face of the guy I said this to.. Luckily I said "I'm full, I've just ate" in English, too smile
