| Welcome to the Arabic Whiteboard Lessons. |
| In this lesson, you will learn how to say, |
| Where are you from in Arabic? |
| Let's get started. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read, I want you to pay attention |
| to how Hussam says where they're from. |
| Find it and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| من أين أنت؟ |
| (min ʾayna ʾant?) |
| أنا من الإسكندرية. |
| (ʾanā min al-ʾiskandariyyah.) |
| Where are you from? |
| I am from Alexandria. |
| Okay, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| First, we have |
| أنا |
| (ʾanā) |
| I |
| أنا |
| (ʾanā) |
| من |
| (min) |
| From |
| من |
| (min) |
| Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern is the structure that our dialogue followed. |
| من أين أنت؟ |
| (min ʾayna ʾant?) |
| Where are you from? |
| [place or city] أنا من |
| (ʾanā min [place or city]) |
| I'm from [place or city]. |
| من أين |
| (min ʾayna) |
| together means where from. |
| And |
| أنت |
| ('ant) |
| is the masculine form of you |
| أنتي |
| ('anti) |
| is the feminine form of you. |
