Chapter #1 E Flashcards
we want to write a letter to the director
بِدْنَا نُكْتُب مَكْتُوب لَلْمُدِير
if we don’t write this letter
إِذَا مَا مْنُكْتُبْش هَالْمَكْتُوب
we can’t send it
مِشْ مُمْكِن نِبْعَتو
I want to tie this rope
بِدِّي اَرْبُط هَالْحَبِل
why you tied the rope, thus?
لِيش بْتُرْبُط اِلْحَبِل هِيك؟
You (pl past) didn’t tie this dog?
مَا رَبَطُّوش اِلْكَلْب ؟
nay, we tied the dog in the house
مْبَلَا، رَبَطْنَا اِلْكَلْب فِي اِلْبِيت
yes, we tied-it, better he doesn’t run away
أَيْوَة، رَبَطْنَاه، أَحْسَن مَا يُهْرُب
always he runs away from the house
دَايْمَاً بْيُهْرُب مِن اِلْبِيت
and there is danger for it
و فِه خَطَر عَلِيه
yesterday he ran away
اِمْبَارِح هَرَب
but today he can’t run away because it’s tied (VN)
بَسّ إليُوم مِش مُمْكِن يُهْرُب، لِاَنُّو مَرْبُوط
my wife washed and hung the laundry
مَرَتِي غَسْلَت و نَشْرَت اِلْغَسِيل
and then she kneaded and baked
و بَعْدِين عَجْنَت و خَبْزَت
everyday you washing and hanging laundry
كُلّ يُوم بْتِغْسِل و بْتُنْشُر اِلْغَسِيل
and kneads and bakes
و بْتِعْجِن و بْتِخْبِز ؟
no but every three days thus nearly
لَا، بَسّ كُل تْلَتّ يّام، هِيك تَقْرِيباً
what you are requesting in your letter?
شُو بْتُطْلُب فِي مَكْتُوبَك ؟
I’m requesting money
بَطْلُب مَصَارِي
you must pay-me at least 20 shekel
لَازِم يِدْفَعْلِي ع اِلْقَلِيلِة عِشْرِين شِكِل
I don’t request more
بَطْلُبْش أَكْتَر
this boy always hits his sister
هَالْوَلَد دَايْماً بْيُضْرُب أُخْتُه
and she say nothing
و هِيِّ بْتُسْكُت

بَعْدِين اِمِّي بْتُضْرُب اِلْوَلَد
and he also says nothing ?
و هُوِّ كَمَان بْيُسْكُت ؟

و هُوِّ كَمَان بْيُسْكُت ؟
no, he is not silent
لَا ! هُوِّ مَا بُسْكُتْش !
please (fem), where is the director?
لَو سَمَحْتِي فِين اِلْمُدِير ؟

كَان هُون قَبِل سِيعَة
