| Nora: [Normal] مبحبش الحيوانات.(mabaḥibbiš el-ḥayawānāt.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'I don't like' |

| Becky: First is a word meaning 'I don't like' |
| Nora: [Normal] مبحبش [Slow] مبحبش (mabaḥibbiš) |

| Nora: [Normal] بكره [Slow] بكره(bakrah) |

| Nora: [Slow] بكره الكدب. [Normal] بكره الكدب. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nora: Try not to use the verb bakrah meaning "I hate" a lot, as it will give off the impression that you are a hateful person, because this word in Egyptian Arabic has a very strong nuance. To be safe, avoid it and use mesh baheb meaning "I don't like". |
