| [سلام (salam) ] This is Chaima. Welcome to Arabic weekly words. Let’s find out today’s or this week’s topic. It’s computer words. Useful, [ كلمات الحاسوب (kalimat al7assoub)] or [الكلمات التي لها علاقة بالحاسوب (al kalimat al llaty laha 3ala9a bil7assoub)] |
| first word is |
| 1. |
| كلافيي |
| it means keyboard. |
| In Darija, mostly for computer words, we use the French word or the word that’s close to the French word. |
| So keyboard in French is [klâvyî ] and most Moroccan people just call the keyboard [klâvyî ]. |
| A sentence like this would be |
| الْكلَافيي الْأمريكي مختلف جدّاعلَى الكلَافي ي |
| الْفرنسي. |
| lklafyî l’amrîkî mukhtalif jiddan 'lâ lklafyî lfaransî. |
| The American keyboard is so different from the French keyboard. |
| Next word |
| 2. |
| سوري |
| it means mouse and |
| again we use a French word. We say [sûrî] because mouse in French is [sûrî]. |
| A sentence with this would be |
| ما 'رفتش فين هي لَا سوري ديالي. |
| ma'raftsh fin hiyya lâ sûrî dyâlî. |
| I don’t know where my mouse is. |
| Next word |
| 3. |
| سماعة الرأ س |
| headphones [lîzîkutûr ] means head. |
| In Darija, we say again the French word all the time and we say [lîzîkutûr ] or [lîzîkutûr ] |
| عندي جوج ديال ليزيكتور وحدين بيضين وْ |
| وحدين كحلين. |
| indi jûj dyâl lizîkutûr waHdîn biDîn w waHdîn kiHlîn. |
| I have two headphones. Ones are black and the other ones are white. |
| 4. |
| سيت |
| it means website. |
| Again we say the French word we say [sît] commonly people say [sît]. |
| The word for site in French |
| كانضنّ بأنّ فايسبوك هو السّيت الّي كيزورو ه |
| أكبر عدد منّاس يوميّا. |
| kanDun bi’anna faysbûk huwa ssît llî kayzûrûh ’akbar ‘adad min nnâs yawmiyyan. |
