Very quick and useful lesson. Always good to know those practical common words in dialect like want. I haven't seen يبغى
before, what is its origin? It is used more in Gulf than راد , I suppose

@tomest05, glad people are enjoying these colloquial podcasts smile

As for your question, the following should clarify it

أبغى - I want
يبغى - He wants
تبغى - You/She wants
نبغى - We want

This is the Khaleeji/Gulf way of saying want. The classical equivalent is

أريد - I want
يريد - He wants
تريد - You/She wants
نريد - We want

Hope this is clear cool smile

I have never heard ايش in the Gulf. I have heard it in Yemen though. The words I hear for what are ويش, شنو, و شو and شو is the most common. I live on the border of Oman and the UAE
