Arabic Language is immensely rich, strong, prestige and accurate language of highly literature and rhetoric tongue. With all respect Arabic can not be compared to any other language. An ancient language contains 12,400,000 million words, while English contains only 600,000 words. An example of such: Camels have (5000 synonymous), Lion (500 synonymous), Honey (80 synonymous) Love (21 stages), Snake (200 synonymous), calamity (80 synonymous) and others words of 1000s synonymous, while every single synonymous of these are not just a repetition of the same word but to explain (a particular situation/postion, a particular motion, a certain age or a certain stage) with high accuracy of expression. Arabic is a language of precision and accurate Mathematics where 1 + 1 = 2, not 2.1. An insignificant pronunciation or syntax ERROR may change the meaning completely to the the opposite. All Arab intellectual production of the last 150 years did use no more than 4% of the total Arabic vocabulary stock.
are you part italian? and how do you say England in arabic, Im trying to learn because i sit next to an egytian boy in maths and my friend and I always ask him to teach us, but now when i go to school I can suprise him with my arabic knowledge :)
I really like you doing shorter lessons, 10 minutes is way to much for me, but this is kinda short. This is my opinion just in case you think it may help you makign better videos: -Ideally a video should around 3:30 minutes. -Speaking arabic and give the english translation is a good way to get used to the sound of it and for advanced students to hear/understand spoken arabic.(which you did do in this video) (continues on the reply, sorry :P)
Salam, marhaban Maha ! Kaifa haluki ? I have a question : is there a plural for respect form ? Like for example in French we say "vous" instead of "tu" when we don't know someone, is there such a thing in Arabic ?
Hi Maha. I have a couple of questions; I know that there always many ways to say things however I have heard two very different ways of saying a few words. For example; in one course to say ´but´ is buss...and in another course but is lanken (I believe from Syria). And to say ´with´ I have heard ´maa´ and also ´oouu.´ Could you clarify for me please?? Thanks so much! -Papa
I'm from Brazil, I was born here, but I'm Arab descent, and must re-learn Arabic to be able to communicate with relatives in Turkey and Lebanon, which have long not see them!
Hi Miss Maha im working in Riyadh Saudi.. i just want to ask question. Why some of my co worker dont know some words that i learned from you. for exaple Ana Ureed.. they dont know what it means.. madha or Aish they say instead Spi, lah for no they say mapi malum..
Mashallah you are so beautiful & a huge help! I also speak Italian and English so helps when you refer to the Italian way 😊 but how do you say this to a group of people?
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm talking to an Arab from Saudi seriously and I'm trying to learn his language. I'm very new to this so I'm writing everything down as I go too!
Thank you Maha these videos are awesome and helpful,it seems very easy am ready and eagerly to learn Arabic so that I can speak with my friends and colleagues in UAE Dubai.
@ra7al2002 u must keep ur religious opinion just for u. The world its not only for muslims, u must respect ideology of others. Ur comment means u r that kind of muslim is intolerant, disrespectful and close minded. Thanks God not all r like u. Anyway this is not for speaking about religion and im sure Maha respectable and nice person
I noticed a sing-song inflection to your pronunciation. Does inflection change the meaning of the word in Arabic, as it does in Chinese and Vietnamese?
(I can't reply so I'll just make another comment) -Saying what each word means would be great so we can understand what it really means and how it's formed. (For example in portuguese it's "I have 5 years." and in english "It's I am 5 years old". It's a different way of thinking.) -In this one its kinda obvious but saying that anta/anti is an inflection due to gender and stuff like that is nice also. Anyway thank you Maha for your great videos. (=
@rb567 ok number on you are not muslim , or number two you reject hadith and are munafiq, or three you are ignorant in which you should hesitate from speaking until you have learned the basics of the deen of allah. in sahih hadith the prophet saws said that the prayer of a woman is not accepted until she wears hijab. k? good.
In this series can you make a telephone conversation between your family and yourself and to a business. I understand in italian Hello is changed to PRONTO by telephone conversations. What do Arabic people say when they answer the telephone - is there a difference?? SHUKRAN NOEL YOUR ENGLISH STUDENT X X
@Chillnsmile She could be from Italy. Just because she's Arab, doesn't mean she lives in the Middle East. I'm Armenian and I have family that lives in France. They're Armenian, but from France. So just FYI....
If you talke with many people... من أين أنتم؟ Where are you from? (male ) من أين أنت؟ Where are you from? (female) من أين أنتي؟ What do you do? ماذا تعمل؟
Marhaban Maha. First of all I'd like to say you are o e of the best teacher that I've have seen here. Your videos are funny and useful (helpful). I have some questions: I am very into learning arabic. I've been watching many videos but with differents accents. What kind of arabic you teach? Where I start? What video? And after?
Thank Maha , these are very helpful videos. But I have a question since I am not native Arabic speaker, it seems there are variations of the same greetings and such. Some of them more formal i guess, but your ones seems simple and rhymes so easy to remember, guessing its not a big deal if you choose one or the other.
Salamualaikum Ya Maha, Ismi Oscar Imam, Ana min Jakarta, Indonesia. Keyfa Haluk? Bakher? Izan nahnu jiraan?? too far to be jiran.. hehehe. A very nice video lesson :)
hello Maha, thank you for the videos.. I just wanted to know if you could teach in lebanese arabic? I see most of your videos are in formal arabic.. I would like to learn more modern lebanese, my boyfriend is teaching me as well, but would love to hear something from you as well :) thanks!
Thanks Maha! I was wondering - could one of these videos be about like ten small survival words that everyone should know? For instance "yes", "no", "help", "thank you"... You know, things that could be really helpful for people if they are, for instance, going on a vacation to a country where Arabic is spoken, and just need a few crucial survival-words? That would be wonderful!
