Bus Wahid here means just one.Is the word 'Bus' meaning the same as in 'Hindi' i.e just,enough,only.?
|
|
|
Yep it means - just, only etc. the guys mention that during the lesson.
Great lesson gents. I find all your lessons useful, no matter what the level. Even in beginners lessons like this one you have dialect words a student at higher levels in Arabic might not have encountered yet. Shukran jaziilan for all your work. |
|
you are right Abid the same word "bus" is used in Hindi as well as Urdu
|
|
|
Im very interested to learn more and apperciate that, these people have taken the time out to help people like us learn the beautiful language

I'm a beginner and I've just signed in. I don't understand what they were discussing about. :
|
|
|
Basically in the lesson dialogue, the one person asks the other how many eggs he'd like for breakfast, and the other person answers "Bus Wa7ed" (بس واحد) which means "just one". The word "bus" or بس in Arabic means "just" or "only".
The guys above are dicussing the fact that in Hindi/Urdu the same word for "just/only" is used as in Arabic. Hope you know what's going on now
|
|
|
it's very good dialog for practice arabic speaking!
|
|
|
Thank you guys so much. I hope you keep it up, it's very helpful.
|

Thank you for another great lesson. I find it very useful when you include colloquial expressions from different dialects in the dialogues.
How would tub3'a change if the speaker was speaking to a woman? How would you change it to mean "I want"? Thank you for all of your hard work on these lessons. |
|
|
Thanks Onazif.
To say tub3'a if you're speaking to a woman you simply change the end sound so it's pronounced tub3'i And to say I want you say Ab3’a Keep it up |
|
|
thank you... what a helpful lesson...
