| Hi, everyone! I’m Peryhan and this is Egyptian Arabic weekly words, so let’s get started with our topics. Today’s topic is about Jobs, and the first one we have is… |
| 1. |
| أستاذ |
| (ʾustāḏ) "professor" |
| عمي أستاذ في جامعة القاهرة. |
| (ʿammī ʾustāḏ fī ǧāmʿeh el-ʾāherah.) |
| "My uncle is a professor in Cairo university." |
| 2. |
| ضابط شرطة |
| (ḍābeṭ šurṭah) "Police officer" |
| في مصر, ضباط الشرطة بتلبس أسود في الشتا, و أبيض في الصيف. |
| (fī maṣr, ḍubbāṭ el-šurṭah betelbes ʾeswed fī el-šetā, wa ʾabyaḍ fī el-ṣīf.) |
| and that is “In Egypt, Police officers wear black in winter, and they wear white in summer." |
| 3. |
| مبرمج |
| (mubarmeǧ) "programmer" |
| So for example you can say |
| عشان تبقى مبرمج, لازم تكون ذكي جداً. |
| (ʿašān tebʾā mubarmeǧ, lāzem tkūn ḏakī ǧeddan.) |
| "If you want to be a programmer, you have to be very smart." |
| 4. |
| مزارع |
| (muzāreʿ) "farmer" |
| sometimes in the dialect, |
| مزارع |
| (muzāreʿ) you can also use the word |
| فلاح |
| (falah) and they’re both okay. For example you can say |
| مأخراً, المزارعين إبتدو يستخدمو تكنولوجيا عالية في الزراعة. |
| (muʾaḫḫaran, el-muzāreʿīn ʾebtadū yestaḫdemū tuknūlūǧyā ʿālyah fī el-zerāʿah.) |
| and that means in English "Recently, farmers started using high technology in agriculture." |
| 5. |
| ممرضة |
| (mumarreḍah) "nurse" |
| So for example you can say |
| الممرضة أخدت بالها مني لما كنت في المستشفى. |
| (ālmumarreḍah ʾaḫadet bālhā mennī lammā kunt fī el-mustašfā.) |
| "The nurse took good care of me when I was in the hospital." |
