Hi,
It's my first post here! I'm from Egypt and I natively speak Arabic if anyone wants help (smile). I'm also improving my English, and sometimes French which I learned in School, but substituted it with English, as it's the language of the Internet, ehm... currently (smile). I'm glad to help anyone on colloquial Egyptian only though, but for Standard Arabic, I suggest taking the madinaharabic.com online Arabic course for anyone who wants to learn Arabic, it's free and very comprehensive, also they have other free and very useful tools which I use myself, but for learning English instead (smile), like the Vocabulary application (My favorite), it has a very large amount of categorised English and Arabic words. Also a mobile version is available, very useful to refresh your memory on the go. Waiting for queries! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Hi Shagarah,
Welcome to the forum. I'm not able to take part at or on the discussions of topic 1 and 2. I'm to much a beginner. But I'm pleased to have a good willing member from Egypt on the forum. شكرًا جزيلاً ! I really don't know if the sentence in Arabic changes, when speaking to a woman or female person ?!? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

staf250,
عفواً! Of course the words / verbs do change, but it may not be noticeable in writing, for example: هل شربت الماء؟ Have you drank the water? Can be for both male and female, the only way we can determine is to put diacritics. In the above example, if we put fathah above the Taa in "sharabt", i.e. "sharabta" so we know we are talking to a male, else, if we put kasrah, like "sharabti" (sharabty ?) we are talking to a female. Some sentences like: لا تحاولي القيام Don't try to stand up This is for sure for a female not a male, because of the "ي" at the end of the verb, if we omit this, then we are talking to a male. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

أهلاً وسهلاً
Wonderful to see another native Arabic speaker on the forums :) I am learning Arabic (Fus7a and Levantine) but I also love how Egyptian Arabic sounds and hope one day to understand it well :) Enjoy your stay! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

For هل شربت الماء؟ shouldn't it be هل شربتك الماء؟ when talking about you. I've always seen it written with a ك or كم.

No, the suffixes ك (= you singular) and كم (= you all) are used when "you" is the object of the verb. But in this case "you" is the subject, so it follows the pattern for conjugating a past tense verb: شرب shariba he drank شربت sharibat she drank شربت sharibta you drank (masc.) شربت sharibti you drank (fem.) etc. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
