You're in a restaurant with your Arabic friends, they're going to order chicken for you, oh but you so don't like chicken and prefer fish, but you don't tell them and give up since you don't know how to explain your dislikes in Arabic and you end up sucking the chicken bones instead!
Don't get stuck in this situation, tune in and learn how to explain what you like to eat.

Very useful episode! I've heard the word "freakh" used for Chicken in I think Egyptian dialect, is that prevalent elsewhere? Also what is the word for "waiter/waitress" in Arabic? tomes |

yeah, Ferakh is used and is known in Egyptian dialect.
"waiter/waitress" in the classic Arabic means 'Nadel' but in restaurants people call the waiter "Garsoon" which comes from French "garçon". I like these type of questions ,, keep it up  Salam |

In your PDF transcript you have written "dried" fish but it should be "fried". Keep up the good work, I am working my way through all of your podcasts. |

how would you say "you like" or "he likes" instead of just ÃäÇ ÃÍÈ
|
|
|
To say "you like" you change Ana to anta when addressing a male or to anti when addressing a female and you change U7eb to tu7eb.
ÇäÊ ÊÍÈ - You like To say "he likes" you change to huwa yu7eb. åæ íÍÈ - He likes To say "she likes" you change to heya tu7eb. åí ÊÍÈ - She likes Hope this helps |
