48
Q

Respectful form of address, like sir or madam

A

حَضرَة

مِيْن حَضِرتَك [P] may I ask your name, sir?;
بَطلُب مِن حَضَرَاتكُم [P] I ask you, respected sirs…;
إِذَا حَضرِتهَا بْتِسمَح [P] If her ladyship will permit (in this case the usage is jocular, as indicated by the usage of the third person);
حَضْرَة [L] respectful form address someone or a dignitary;
لأ، ما بْيِصِير حَضْرَةِ العَرِيف [V] no, this didn’t happen sir corporal;
بِحَضْرْتَك [L] nice to meet you (literally: in your presence)

Though morphologically third person, حَضْرَتَك and حَضْرَتِك display second-person agreement (thus, verbs whose subject is حَضْرَتَك or حَضْرَتِك are conjugated in the second person). Similarly, although حَضْرَتَك is technically a form of the feminine noun حَضْرَة, it displays masculine gender agreement.

The formal/respectful equivalent of inta/inti, similar to the French “vous.” This would be used not only with someone older than you, but also with people like your boss, a judge, university professor, police officer, etc. You wouldn’t use it with “ya”; you’d simply plug it into a sentence where you’d ordinarily say enta/enti. Like ازي حضرتك؟ (izzayy HaDritak?), How are you? Or it can take the place of an object pronoun, like ممكن اسأل حضرتك سؤال؟ (mumkin as’al HaDritak su’aal?), Can I ask you a question?

I was going to…

In Lebanese Arabic, to say “I almost…” you can use “كنت رح…” or “قربت…”, depending on the context. Here’s how you would use them:

  1. كنت رح… (Ként ra7…)
    • Literally: “I was going to…”
    • Used to express that you were on the verge of doing something but didn’t actually do it.

Examples:
• كنت رح وقع.
I almost fell.
• كنت رح انساه.
I almost forgot it.

  1. قربت… (2arrabit…)
    • Literally: “I came close to…”
    • Used to describe being close to doing or experiencing something.

Examples:
• قربت نام.
I almost fell asleep.
