Lesson Transcript

[سلام (salam) ] This is Chaima. Welcome to Arabic weekly words. Let’s find out today’s or this week’s topic. It’s computer words. Useful, [ كلمات الحاسوب (kalimat al7assoub)] or [الكلمات التي لها علاقة بالحاسوب (al kalimat al llaty laha 3ala9a bil7assoub)]
first word is
1.
كلافيي
it means keyboard.
In Darija, mostly for computer words, we use the French word or the word that’s close to the French word.
So keyboard in French is [klâvyî ] and most Moroccan people just call the keyboard [klâvyî ].
A sentence like this would be
الْكلَافيي الْأمريكي مختلف جدّاعلَى الكلَافي ي
الْفرنسي.
lklafyî l’amrîkî mukhtalif jiddan 'lâ lklafyî lfaransî.
The American keyboard is so different from the French keyboard.
Next word
2.
سوري
it means mouse and
again we use a French word. We say [sûrî] because mouse in French is [sûrî].
A sentence with this would be
ما 'رفتش فين هي لَا سوري ديالي.
ma'raftsh fin hiyya lâ sûrî dyâlî.
I don’t know where my mouse is.
Next word
3.
سماعة الرأ س
headphones [lîzîkutûr ] means head.
In Darija, we say again the French word all the time and we say [lîzîkutûr ] or [lîzîkutûr ]
عندي جوج ديال ليزيكتور وحدين بيضين وْ
وحدين كحلين.
indi jûj dyâl lizîkutûr waHdîn biDîn w waHdîn kiHlîn.
I have two headphones. Ones are black and the other ones are white.
4.
سيت
it means website.
Again we say the French word we say [sît] commonly people say [sît].
The word for site in French
كانضنّ بأنّ فايسبوك هو السّيت الّي كيزورو ه
أكبر عدد منّاس يوميّا.
kanDun bi’anna faysbûk huwa ssît llî kayzûrûh ’akbar ‘adad min nnâs yawmiyyan.
I think that Facebook is the most visited website like daily. I think this is true.
Next word
5.

printer.
Again we use the French word and we say ’amprimant
خصّني نشري أمپرمنت ضروري.
khassni nishrî ’amprimant Darûri.
I need to buy a printer, it’s necessary.
That was it for the computer words. Thank you for joining us. I am Chaima, I will see you next week.
