| Hi, everyone! I’m Peryhan and this is Egyptian Arabic weekly words, so let’s get started. Today’s topic is about In the Classroom. |
| 1. |
| مدرس |
| (mudarres) "teacher" |
| and for example you can say |
| تعرفو إن المدرسين بيروحو المدرسة حتى في الأجازة؟ |
| (teʿrafū ʾen el-mudarresīn beyrūḥū el-madrasah ḥattā fī el-ʾaǧāzah?) |
| And that in English means “Did you know that teachers go to school even on holidays?" |
| 2. |
| اختبار |
| (ʾemteḥān) "exam“ or “test” |
| and then the dialect is |
| إمتحان |
| and this one should be easy because |
| الطلبه عمرهم مابيحبو الإمتحانات. |
| (ālṭalabah ʿumruhum mābeyḥebbū el-ʾemteḥānāt.) |
| "Students never like exams." |
| 3. |
| حصة |
| (ḥeṣṣah) "class" |
| so for example you can say |
| الأطفال في إبتدائي بياخدو خمس حصص في اليوم. |
| (ālʾaṭfāl fī ʾebtedāʾī beyāḫdū ḫamas ḥeṣaṣ fī el-yuūm.) |
| and that is ”Children in elementary schools take 5 classes a day." |
| 4. |
| دفتر |
| (daftar) "notebook" |
| and then the dialect is |
| كشكول |
| (kaškūl) |
| And so for example you can say |
| من الأفضل إنو يكون عندك كشكول منفصل لكل مادة. |
| (men el-ʾafḍal ʾennū ykūn ʿandak kaškūl munfaṣel lekul māddah.) |
| and that means in English ”It's better if you have a separate notebook for each subject." |
| 5. |
| سبورة |
| (sabbūrah) "blackboard" |
| And for example you can say |
| إنقل بسرعة إللي عالسبورة قبل ما يتمسح. |
| (ʾenʾel besurʿah ʾellī ʿālsabbūrah ʾabl mā yetmeseḥ.) |
| "Please write down what's on the blackboard before it gets erased." |
| And that's it for today! How about your classroom? Why don't you describe it below in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe. Bye! |
