Marhaban,
My fiance’s family speaks Egyptian Arabic, so I am trying to learn some Arabic, too. How do you say “What’s your name?” in Egyptian Arabic? Also, I have been hearing “anaa kaman” for “me, too,” not “anaa ayDan.” Is the former a regional variation?
Shukran!

marHaban Kelly,
I also learned kamaan as the word for “too”, but I’ve never seen it written and Danya and May tell me it’s “slang”….a spoken variety of Arabic.
ما إسمك؟ - maasmak? - What is your name?
إسمك أيه؟ - ‘ismik/’ismak ayh? - What’s your name? (Lit. Your name, which is it?)
I’ve only heard the first phrase, but I found the second in an Egyptian phrasebook. Perhaps Fawzy could verify.

You are right in what you have said. I was only thinking this the other day but I think I will now dig a little deeper. Not sure what the last guy meant though!
