Lesson Transcript

Hi it’s me again. Welcome to Arabic weekly words and let’s find out this week’s topic together. This week’s topic is negative adjectives [النعوت السلبية (al nu3ut al ssilbya) ]. In Darija, we would say [النعوت الخيبة (annu3ut el khayba)] maybe. Let’s get started.
First word is
1.
[ مقلقة] or [مقلق ] it means sad.
In Darija, we would say [mqallaq] like [mqallqa] I am not happy.
هو كان مقلق بزاف حنت ماماه و باباه مسافرين
huwa kân mqallaq bzzâf Hint mâmâh w bâbâh msâfrîn..
He was really sad because his parents are travelling(0:00:33).
Next word
2.
[صعيب \ صعيب ة] it means difficult
and in Darija, we have a very close word to the Fusa word.
We say [S‘îb ] we say [S‘îba] for female
لبارح كان الإمتحان صعيب بزاف
lbâraH kân l’imtiHân Sʻîb bzzâf..

[خيب \ خيب ة] it means ugly.
In Darija, we say [khâyb ] or [khâyba].
حتى واحد ما خايب
Htta wâHd mâ khâyb..
No one is ugly.
Next word
4.
[مسخ ة] or for female [مسخ] it means dirty and
in Darija, we say [mussakh/ musskha] they are also very close.
So حوايجي مسخين،خاصني نبدلهم
Hwâyjî mmusskhîn khaSnî nbaddalhum..
my clothes are dirty, I need to change.
Next word
5.
[ شرير ] for female [ شرير ة ] it means mean.
In Darija, we say [khâyb ] or [khâyba] for female. So like mean and ugly [are related] in Darija

khûhâ mâshi Driyyif, huwa khâyb bzzâf..
Her brother is not nice, he is very mean.
Next word, ah there is no next word. All right I will see you next week.
