| Introduction |
| Becky: Welcome to 3-Minute Egyptian Arabic Season 1, Lesson 19 - Going Without. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to make essential negative statements in Egyptian Arabic. |
| Body |
| Becky: Here's the way to say 'I don't have a pen.' in Egyptian Arabic. |
| Nora: [Normal] مش معايا قلم.(miš maʿāyā 'alam.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'don't ' |
| Nora: [Normal] مش [Slow] مش (miš) |
| Becky: Next is the word meaning 'I have (on me now)' |
| Nora: [Normal] معايا [Slow] معايا(maʿāyā) |
| Becky: Last is the word meaning 'pen' |
| Nora: [Normal] قلم [Slow] قلم(alam) |
| Becky: Listen again to the phrase meaning 'I don't have a pen.' |
| Nora: [Slow] مش معايا قلم. [Normal] مش معايا قلم. |
| Becky: Ok, now let's see the way to say 'I don't have time.' |
| Nora: [Normal] معنديش وقت!(maʿandīš wa't!) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'don't have' |
| Nora: [Normal] معنديش [Slow] معنديش (maʿandīš) |
| Becky: Last is the word meaning 'time' |
| Nora: [Normal] وقت [Slow] وقت(wa't) |
| Becky: Listen again to the phrase meaning 'I don't have time.' |
| Nora: [Slow] معنديش وقت! [Normal] معنديش وقت! |
| Becky: Next up is the way to say 'I don't know.' |
| Nora: [Normal] معرفش.(maʿrafš.) |
| Becky: This expression has only one word meaning 'I don't know.' |
| Nora: [Normal] معرفش [Slow] معرفش(maʿrafš) |
| Becky: Listen again to the word meaning 'I don't know.' |
| Nora: [Slow] معرفش. [Normal] معرفش. |
| Becky: Finally, here is a way to say 'I don't understand.' |
| Nora: [Normal] مش فاهم.(miš fāhim.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'no, not' |
| Nora: [Normal] مش [Slow] مش(miš) |
| Becky: Last is the word meaning 'I understand' |
| Nora: [Normal] فاهم [Slow] فاهم(fāhim) |
| Becky: Listen again to the phrase meaning 'I don't understand.' |
| Nora: [Slow] مش فاهم. [Normal] مش فاهم. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nora: To sound more delicate and caring while saying that you don't have something, such as a tissue, it sounds very natural to answer laa, wallaahi meaning "No, I swear". It implies that you want to help by giving the requested item, but you can't because you just don't have it. |
