| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Must-Know Egyptian Arabic Social Media Phrases Season 1, Lesson 9 - Talking About an Injury. |
| Becky: Hi everyone, I'm Becky. |
| Amr: And I'm Amr. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Egyptian Arabic about being injured. Amir suffers a painful injury, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Amr: لسه طالع من المستشفى. الحمد لله. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā. el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
| Becky: Meaning - "Just got out of the hospital. Praise be to God." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to Amir's post. |
| Amr: لسه طالع من المستشفى. الحمد لله. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā. el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
| Becky: "Just got out of the hospital. Praise be to God." |
| Amr: (SLOW) لسه طالع من المستشفى. الحمد لله. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā. el-ḥamdu lellah.) (Regular) لسه طالع من المستشفى. الحمد لله. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā. el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Just got out of the hospital." |
| Amr: لسه طالع من المستشفى. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā.) |
| Becky: This expression literally means "going up from the hospital." But, when "going up" is used with a destination, it means that you're getting out of that place. Listen again - "Just got out of the hospital" is... |
| Amr: (SLOW) لسه طالع من المستشفى. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā.) (REGULAR) لسه طالع من المستشفى. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā.) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "Praise be to God." |
| Amr: الحمد لله. (el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
| Becky: Muslims in general use this expression after any incident to show that they’re content with what God has given them, even if it was a bad thing. Listen again - "Praise be to God" is... |
| Amr: (SLOW) الحمد لله. (el-ḥamdu lellah.) (REGULAR) الحمد لله. (el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
| Becky: All together, "Just got out of the hospital. Praise be to God." |
| Amr: لسه طالع من المستشفى. الحمد لله. (lessah ṭāleʿ men el-mustašfā. el-ḥamdu lellah.) |
