| Hala: Also, its not in every restaurant that you will find alcohol, mainly in Hotels, and few restaurants known for offering it |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Roland: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Hala: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is.... |
| Hala: أي خدمة؟ (ayyi ḫidmah?" |
| literally, this means "any service", in terms of use, its "what can i do for you", or "how can i help you" |
| Roland: That’s right!. its used to address men and woman, as it has no indicators for masculine or feminine , it can be heard anywhere, just as you enter, or after you make a request or two |
| Hala: also, its used as an ending, after you finish saying what you want, or paying the bill, the response will be "ayyi ḫidmah?" , that's like "my pleasure" or "you`re welcome" . |
| Roland: and our second phrase is… |
| Hala: بَس لِسّا مِشْ عارْفِين. bas lissā miš ʿārfiīn |
| lissā in this sentence means "still" , if we use it alone, it will mean "not yet", that's a very important and easy word to use . |
| Roland: Right!. let’s move to the grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Roland: The focus of this lesson is to have and in this case they have |
| عـَـنـْـدُهـُم أكـْـل كـُـوَيـِّس و مـِش غالي "they have good food and it's not expensive" |
| Hala: To form V,to have, making "they have", we will add هُم,hum" sound at the end of |
| عَند,ʿand", so we will have "indahum,” to say they don't have, we will do the same as before , add مِش,miš", or break it which will give us "مَعَندُهُمش,maʿanduhumš", and this more common and popular, but feel free to use both! |
| Roland: and we have a new participle -عارْفين |
| Hala: yes, Another new and very important participle, just to refresh your memory, its the special form of the verb, treated as an adjective, but functioning as a verb, we learned one wich was "want", so we will apply the same rule here. |
| عارِف is for masculine I know |
| عارْفة is for feminine |
| عارْفين is the plural form |
| Roland, do you remember how to say i want ? |
| Roland: أنا عايز. |
| Hala: And for the female? |
| Roland: عايزة. |
| Hala: And if its a group of people? |
| Roland: عايزين. |
| This is not like verbs, we don't need to conjugate it, its the same adjective rule . |
