This video is all about the Egyptian dialect of Arabic (specifically the Cairo dialect, and more generally northern Egypt). Egyptian Arabic is well-known across the Arab World because of Egypt's dominant position in Arab Media and entertainment throughout the 20th century (and to some extent still today). But it has numerous distinct features that set it apart from Modern Standard Arabic and from other varieties.
Special thanks to Omar Allam El Sayed for his Arabic audio samples and suggestions!

@deeb8134 ive been learning msa and a bit of egyptian, Palestinian and syrian arabic(my lecturers both studied and worked there) and what is interesting to me about egyptian arabic is the pronounciation, because for me compared to levantine arabic i often get thrown off by pronounciation in egyptian arabic and usually need translations or atleast need to reead arabic subtitles to properly understand what's being said and even though most arabs living in my country are from Egypt they usually change their pronounciati or try to speak fusha or speak English to me so it is a bit difficult for me to get used to the dialect

Hhhh, the Tunisian dialect and the Egyptian dialect are as if they are two different languages. I am from Tunisia and I agree with you that the Tunisian dialect is strange to the Egyptians and the entire Arab East, and there are some words that we say that are considered normal to us but are obscene words to them. Not only that, but all the dialects of the Maghreb are strange to them, and difficult to understand. But for us, the Egyptian dialect is simple and easy to understand, and it is considered the easiest dialect in the Arab world The Tunisian dialect is the same as the extinct Sicilian Arabic, only there are some minor differences

@njoumellil 5 месяцев назад

@@MrRed7 Yes, it is known that the people of the Arab East do not understand the dialects of the Maghreb. The dialects that contain a mixture between French and other Latin languages are Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan, and Lebanese. The Libyan dialect does not contain French words. Indeed, the Tunisian dialect seems clear and easier than the dialects of Morocco and Algeria, but according to my knowledge of Arabic dialects, the easiest dialect among the dialects of the Maghreb is the Libyan dialect. You may have a different opinion, but the closer you are to the West, the more difficult the dialect becomes. I believe that the Libyan dialect is the easiest to understand for the people of the East. Arabic because it is a Bedouin dialect and contains Egyptian and Levantine words such as “kwayes,” “tamam,” “nibbi,” etc. In addition, it has many terms from classical Arabic, which is not fast in speech and does not contain a mixture between French and other Latin languages. It only contains some Italian words, and some Amazigh words. Therefore, when you hear the Tunisian dialect, you understand a little of it, but in the Libyan dialect, you may understand more. You don't understand anything about the Algerian dialect and the Moroccan dialect, hhhhh.

They say in the arab world that the egyptian dialect is "light blooded" which means, it's cute and sounds nice. Arabs may not see eye to eye on many things but they all agree that the egyptian dialect is beautiful, that's why the egyptian music is pan arab, meaning that all arabs listen to egyptian music but they don't necessarily listen to every other type of arabic music in other dialects. I'm not an arab but I've learnt arabic in the 90s and early 2000s during ten years I lived them in jordan and I traveled and made friends in other arab and middle eastern countries. I understand egyptian but can't speak it but I listen to egyptian music quite often especially to classic artists like Ummu Kulsoum and Abd el Halim. Yes I'm quite old.

Fantastic video and I'm thrilled to find out the Greek origin of tarabeza! I'm Sudanese and we share a lot of the same vocabulary, grammar, and syntax with our Egyptian neighbors. Probably this is due to geographic proximity, and a shared history of Coptic Christianity and the influences of Nubian, English, and Turkish, among other regional languages. However, we speak with a different rhythm, closer to that spoken in Saudi Arabia, and we pronounce Qaf with a hard G like many other Arabic speakers. The Cairene dialect is probably the most widely understood in the Arabic-speaking world, due to the widespread popularity of their films, music, and television shows. Two of my coworkers are Jordanian and Moroccan and the three of us speak to each other in the Egyptian dialect :-D

An Iraqi here, growing as a child when first exposed to Egyptian dialect on tv, at first it was hard to understand and confusing. For example, the word for poverty in strand Arabic is (faqr فقر) in Egyptian is (fa'r فأر) which means a mouse in standard Arabic. Gradually it became so easy that I can speak every dialect of Egypt like Sa'eedi, Iskenderani, etc....

I love the Egyptian expression "Amar arba'taashar" which directly translates to "moon of the 14th" and it's used as a flirtation/endearment thing you tell women and girls (they're as beautiful as the moon on the night of the 14th day of the lunar month when it's a full moon) Or "weshy helw aa'lik" which literally translates to "my face is sweet on you" and it means "I bring you good luck!" And it's said in a teasing way and it's cute Or "hamatak bet-hebak!" Which translates to "your mother in-law loves you!" And it's used in the specific occasion when you drop by someone/call someone who is about to eat a good meal and so they tell you this expression and invite you to come over and have some of that good food with them!

There's something about our dialect that nobody speaks about which is the rhythm. Basically the reduction of vowels doesn't follow a cold rule, rather a continuous rhythm in speaking, and this rhythm is different from Levantine for instance. I'm willing to share more (and other observations also) with whomever is interested.

Just a correction, the removal of the Q sound is not actually default in Levantine dialects. It's a major distinguishing factor between city and country people. In major cities they remove the Q sound, but in towns and villages the sound remains there and it is quite emphasized. This is the case in Palestine, Jordan and Syria and it's one of the easy methods you can tell where from those countries a person comes. There is also the Bedouin tribes who pronounce the Q as Gh (similar to the Egyptian jim) across the Levantine.

@hki4464 5 месяцев назад

The hardest was in fact to practice this language : since I am european, people would speak to me all the time in English and some of them would even refuse to speak Egyptian, this was very annoying. I have been asked lots of time why I had learned Arabic (since it is not necessary for conversation) : because this is a very interesting language and the Arabic and Egyptian culture are fascinating.

To clarify Bukra is an original word in Classical Arabic that means early morning after dusk "Early morning" in Arabic has a name which is Bokor It is called (al- bukor \ al- bakir \ mubakir\ bukra) "The pronunciation of a word varies depending on its position in the sentence" Sometimes it comes in Arabic meaning early, first, or beginning Example You came early You are early today Early antiquity Early here (bakir, mobker, mobkra) Plus to, firstborn in Arabic is bakr "It means the first born " In Hebrew, morning is בוקר "Boker" and Firstborn is בכור "bekor" Regarding the word "ghadan" which is the morning period after early morning "Bokor" Dusk, then early morning ""Bokor" then "ghadan" or "ghadwh" In the Algerian and perhaps Moroccan dialect, they call tomorrow “Ghadwa”.

Correction, Hebrew בוקר boker for morning is actually unrelated to Arabic باكر baakir or Hebrew בכור b'chor. Hebrew בוקר boker is from the root בקר bakar meaning "to split". This root is also found in Arabic as بقر baqara also meaning "to slit" or "split" with the idea that when the sun rises, it splits the sky at the horizon. Hebrew בכור b'chor and Arabic بكر bikr are related however.

the difference between modern standard arabic and its local dialects seems very similar to the difference between latin and the modern romance languages. in both cases, the pronunciation of words got simplified and a lot of sounds shifted, but latin and modern standard arabic continue to influence their descendant languages.

@homyce 5 месяцев назад

That is very accurate and that is how I explain it to my non-Arab friends, the word dialect is not even accurate, they have shifted so much that they can be considered their own separate languages by now. I grew up in Egypt, but my mom was Lebanese, and if she spoke fast, or used a very Lebanese way of talking, people would struggle to understand her. The differences are even way more pronounced if you consider something like Tunisian or Morrocan.

This is due to the fact that Algerians have always been used to watch and follow the other Arabic countries' media.

Loved the traffic sounds from Midan al-Tahrir! As a Canadian who lived in Cairo for 4 years, I totally think Egyptians understand how to use car horns better than much of the world. It's a tool of communication, "Hey, I'm here." There's a lot of good sense to that. It's actually really practical from a safety perspective. And the way you honk can convey different messages. After I left Egypt, I found it hard to abandon that frequent use of the horn... I really miss how Egyptian traffic sounds!

Although it's the dialect I grew up speaking but i'm always shocked by the very little amount of info about it, and it would really make me, as well as other mauritanians, happy to find a channel as accurate and informative as your channel covering our dialect in detail as well as giving it the exposure it lacks.

@hassaanalansary 5 месяцев назад

I would say Gamed means "solid", it also has the same meaning English. As in "Oh man, that's a solid deal" And in Egyptian, it would be "di safqa gamda" The extra (a) is because "safka" is feminine. Moreover, in egyptian Frozen means Gamdan or Motagammed, or Mogammad but never Gamed It is close but not the same

Man you are really special. I am from Cairo and this is my native dialect and it’s amazing the level of knowledge you have, here are a couple of fun info: English loanwords: Aleet أليط probably from English Elite. Italian loanwords: Torta تورتة (cake) from Torta, Forn فرن (from Forno), Gambari جمبري (shrimp) from Gambri, Roba Bekya روبا بيكيا (old clothes or junk kind of) from Roba Vecchia, Barooka باروكة (wig) from Parucca, Bsilla بسلة (Green Peas) from Piselli and so many more. Just a small note, Arabic was not completely dominant in Egypt until around 12th - 13th century. You got it right also that so many of the Arabic dialects words are not “deviation” from the MSA but simply it is Arabic from ancient dialect/different origin Like you mentioned something in your Lebanese dialect video on the word Al Bare7a البارحة (yesterday) being pronounced Imbare7 امبارح, that is also not a distortion but it is a known ancient dialect that use to exist in southern Arabia of flipping all the Al into Am so instead of Albare7 it becomes Ambare7 this phenomenon is called طمطمانية, there is also a Wikipedia article about it.

@nimmira 5 месяцев назад

As a speaker of another dialect, well, Egyptian is understood for the most part. However, I noticed something with older generations around me, that they understand old Egyptian shows (specially those in B&W) but not the modern ones; well, let's say not much of the new ones. They say that they speak too fast (and there is a lot of jargon from "street talk" which not many are familiar with). Just to note also, the prefix "B-" (more commonly actually "Ba-") in some dialects (in the Gulf specifically) would indicate a desire to do something, so it can be used for future tense in some sense; e.g. [بروح المطار = ب+اروح المطار] = I wanna go to the airport. It is a contraction for the verb [أبغي] (I want, desire) and in fact some dialects in the Gulf (specially Bedouin varieties) still use it with little change [أبغى] (with Alif-Maqsoorah ى instead of "Y" ي]. I was surprised in fact about "Estabena" because I thought this is an Arabic expression coming from MSA from the verb [استبان] meaning (to get things clarified), and hence when I heard it few times I thought that the meaning is "we become clear?" (as in "we made a deal?"). The verb [استبان] is the source for the word [استبيان] meaning (poll, questionnaire).

Egyptian Arabic was influenced by English too, for example The word for police in Egyptian Arabic is Bolees (sometimes people say shurta which is the MSA word but Bolees in more common) And the word for exaggeration is "Avwara" which comes from the word "Over" and put in one of the Egyptian Arabic action noun/verbal noun templates, it could also be used as a verb like "bi'Avwar" which means he exaggerates and "bet'Avwar" which means she exaggerates
