Hi , I am Mohamed "أهلاّ، أنا محمد"
In this lesson, you will learn simple words and how to introduce yourself in Arabic. First, very simple words are introduced :
Now, we want to say the simple phrase (I am Mohammed). We should first mention an important note :
in Arabic ,and Egyptian, if the phrase doesn't contain a verb, the verb (to be) is assumed. So the verb (to be) is almost always omitted. Example : (I am Mohamed) will be in Arabic written like ( I Mohamed ) using the Arabic corresponding translation of each word. Similarly, ( You are Maryam ) will be ( You Maryam), and so on.
Now, the only thing we miss to write the phrase is the translation of (I = ana ), so the phrase will be : (ana Mohamed)
More words are listed below :
The lesson now is done, you can understand the following conversation (it may look short and quite silly, but it's just for explaining :) :
Mohamed : ahlan, anti Jean ?
Maryam : la, ana Maryam.
Mohamed : aasif. ana Mohamed.
Maryam : anta Mohamed ? ahlan !
Mohamed : naam, shokran.
Maryam : afwan, salam.
Mohamed : salam.
