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!

I am using these lessons to re-inforce things I am learning in class, as well as advance my knowledge of Arabic. I love the lessons. They are very thorough and helpful. Sukran!

Dear Arabic Linguist,
Unfortunately, the coloquial Arabic for this lesson, and for previous lessons, is incorect. Someone has just repeated the standard Arabic recording eventhough the colloquial Arabic is spelled out. This is a gross error. Can this not be corrected?
Thanks,
Woody

I ‘ve been in Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) in november and frequently I heard’ ismak/ismik ayh?’
And also: ’tishrab ayh?’ (What would you like to drink?) and ‘amil ayh?’ (How are you?)
So I think the spoken language is very different from the standard Arabic and it depends in what region you are.
