Learning Arabic like any other language all you need to practice a lot,
but in our case we will just focus to
learn some few and famous words in
Arabic. Initially stop thinking that Arabic is the hardest language maybe you
one of the people you heard that and start to learn now a little vocabulary in
Arabic which help you to enjoy your trip to Egypt
After that you start quickly learn ,but you
need to speaker translator like Google translate for example to hear the
pronunciation of the word, because when you hear the word many times it make
you better to say it in a good accent. Then let's begin with first and common
word (Salam Aleko) used if you want to
say Hi and the good news you can also
used the same word (Salam Aleko) to say Bye. when you meet anyone in anyplace
all over Egypt even in any Arabic country and say (Salam Aleko) he/she reply
(weAleko El-Salam) .Some people saw the word (weAleko El-Salam) is too long, so
if you feel that's difficult believe me I tried to shortened the word because
it's longer than this. If you see the word containing from two parts, you can use the second part (Salam)if you
can't say Aleko ,but remember the best thing to say the two parts of the word ((Salam
Aleko)because this is very common word you must know it and it's meaning is wonderful (Salam Aleko)
literally means peace on you, easily try to spelling it and the more easily
write the word on google translate choose from English or choose your language
to Arabic and listen carefully to the word several times or you can write it
like this (salam alaikum) ,also there is another word means Hi called(Marhaba),but
it's less used and not famous like (Salam Aleko) and of course you will notice
that the reply of (Salam Aleko) is (weAleko El-Salam) means you also peace on
you too.
Next common word is (Mashe) you can use it in
two different situations if you want to go away or if you want to say yes on
anything, this word is very easy( Ma- she) try it ( instead
of me remove the e and put A Ma…
then she you knew she it's the same pronunciation then tell it
all together Mashe) notice you don't find it the meaning in google translate
because this is a slang word but if you write Mashy like that will give you the
same pronunciation like Arabic and very common in Egypt more than any other
Arabic country, also you can say ( peace ya man ) if you agree on something but
this expression used it only with youth or young people or any person who looks
like educated because we used a bit English words in our slang language. The
opposite of yes is no in Arabic called (LA). MehTag means need (cut the
word on two Meh then Tag you knew question Tag in Grammar the same
pronunciation Tag then combine the two pieces in one
word MehTag) but you want to say ( I ) in Arabic before Mehta ,then how
you say it?you will laugh if you knew that the name Ana means I in
Arabic say Ana means I to say I need equal (Ana - MehTag) .
Then you want to know directions in Arabic because
you will need it a lot (Straight = Ala tool), ( Ala tool) used it if you want
to tell the driver to driver straight not turn right or left , ( Ala tool) also
slang word say Ala by itself the you
knew word( tool) it the same pronunciation . (yemeen means right ,Shemal means left )
You can find it in google translate easily and
people used it a lot in streets ,try it now it's ridiculously easy (yah remove h tell ya and
word men but put double e meen
try together yameen) the same thing try by (shemal say she the then say mal not male you knew man
remove the N and put l mal try together shemal). ergaa- waara means go
back, This word is slang, but try to write
this word like I written, in google translate I tried it and found the
pronunciation is too close for the real word, however don't look in the
meaning on google remember its slang , Lef
means turn ,also this word lef is slang (Left say it without T Lef)
try them.
Food you need some vocabulary to explain the
food you taste or want, You can use helo means good or sweat or laziz try to write it only laziz in
google translate and listen to the pronounce,
it's nearly to the real word, whichaa means
bad, focus whichaa is slang ,write it on google translate to
hear how to say it right.
Transportation vocabulary I will choose for you
the common and easy word bus you want bus there are three kinds of
transportation large bus called autopeace
(try word auto by
itself then say peace ,then combined the two words by the same pronunciation
Autopeace) ,but attention avoid to ride the autopeace because it's not
verysafe, second kind is Microbus it's small bus and very common in Egypt more
safety than the autopeace (Try the word cut it like micro the say it in English
then say bus ok combined together microbus
), third kind is Minibus also in Arabic you can say it minibus normally
remember Egyptian used in their slang language some little word in English. These
three kinds of transportation in addition to a Taxi and Metro because of course
you knew the taxi and metro it's called the same in Arabic Taxi or Metro with
the same pronunciation the last thing the train called Atter
and don't worry you not need to use it a lot ,last thing is tayara means plane or aeroplane and you can listen it in google translate .
Finally try the words listen to it many times
in google translate and the slang words try the cut style I create for you for
you and don't frustrated if you tried and feel it difficult about the slang
words ,leave a comment ,and I will make
an audio include the pronunciation of the slang
vocabulary.
Good Luck
