| رولاند: أهــلاً يا هالة ، إزيـك؟ |
| Roland: Hi Hala, how are you? |
| هالة: الحــمـد لـلـه تــمام ، مـشـغولة شـويـة في المـدرسة. |
| Roland: Well, all thanks to God. A little busy at school. |

| Roland: No, I don’t know whose book it is, but it’s always here! |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Hala: today we are talking about going to places for the first time, and finding left items! |
| Roland: It's very common to go in to a place, and find an extra item, or something that doesn’t have an owner, for example, books in a class, or dictionaries, and so on |
| Hala: well, people are used to leave it for others to benefit from, as long it's in good case, some might leave it because they don’t want to go around with it |
| Roland: yes i know, i do that sometimes, but in that case, it will be left in a more private place, if you go someplace, and you find any of its extra items lying around, its ok to use it,and you may keep it if you made sure there is more copies for example and that its not needed . |
| Hala: This is only one form of many of the Arabic generosity. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Roland: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Hala: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is.... |
| (مَعْلِش,maʿliš), and this is our super word. |
| Ruland: A very important word, used to express sympathy sometimes , as in ( i had a very bad day), or ( i lost my money and the test was very hard and the food was salty ), the automatic response here would be معلش |
| Hala: we also use it as ( never mind - don’t worry , put it behind your back ) or even ( come on it’s ok ), and its very common to be heard from all people at all times . |
| Ruland: yes guys, thats one word you wont forget and will always hear and use in Egypt, so remember, معلش |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hala: The focus of this lesson is (the possessive pronouns) with Masculine nouns. |
| Hala: using the possessive pronouns in Arabic might be a little different from what you used to, First, it comes at the end of the noun, not only that but we attached to it, so it will be treated as one word, written and spoken. You need to train yourself to get used to it, because, If you try to break it, you may end up with two completely different words. Let’s take an example ( كتاب, kitāb ), which means A book. If you are going to say my book, what are we going to do? |
| Roland: We are going to stick (y) sound in the end ( ī ) sound in the end, and it’s going to be ( كتابي, kitābī ). |
| Hala: And that will mean “My book”. It is a simple as that. If I am talking to a man, and I am saying “your book” |
| Roland: You say ( كتابك, kitābak ) |
| Ruland: it might seem little strange and confusing at the beginning, but with little practice it gets very easy. |
| Hala: If I am speaking to a women... |
| Roland: you say (kitābik). |
| Hala: Exactly!. For a male we add the sound ( ak ) in the end, and for a female we add the sound ( ik ) in the end. this never change, and it has no exceptions. |
| It comes in the end |
| It is attached |
| Treated as one |
| Both written and spoken |
| Remember this guys. |
Outro |
| Roland: That just about does it for today. |
| Ruland: Before we go, we want to tell you about a way to drastically improve your pronunciation. |
| Hala: The voice recording tool... |
| Ruland: Yes, the voice recording tool in the premium learning center... |
| Hala: Record your voice with a click of a button, |
| Ruland: and then play it back just as easily. |
| Hala: So you record your voice, and then listen to it. |
| Ruland: Compare it to the native speakers... |
| Hala: And adjust your pronunciation! |
| Ruland: This will help you improve your pronunciation fast! |
| Roland: مع السلامة |
| Hala: مع ألف سلامة |
