POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Hala: when asking people for their Number, we say do you have a phone , or do you have a cell phone
Roland: I know and that is very strange, because some people may think its asking for the phone itself, but not they are asking for the number.
Hala: that's why we wait after you say yes , to hear the No, or to hear No, sorry, i don't have it .
Roland: I also heard do you have a phone or a cell No a lot
Hala: It depends on the person speaking, but in case you ever encounter this situation, remember, do you have a phone , is asking for your No !
do you remember how to say it in Arabic?
Roland: عَندَك تَليفون؟ “ʿandak talīfūn”.
Hala: And for a cellphone.
Roland: عَندَك مُوبايل؟ “ʿandak muūbāīl”.

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Roland: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Hala: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is....
Hala: عَندِك مُوبايل “ʿandik muūbāīl”.
When asking for someone's phone No, sometimes we say do you have a phone , and that indicates the No of the phone itself, same thing with cell No, we ask if you have a cell !
Roland: but remember, you could get a nice surprise everyone once and while, and the person responds by saying No, i don't have a cell phone, i don't like them !
Roland: the next word, really really important guys
Hala: يَعني “yaʿnī” , this means it means , or i mean, and in many cases and situations
Roland: and , you will hear it in the middle of the sentence , or at the start and end, could be repeated a 100 times, with no specific meaning
Hala: it's just a habit we have while talking .
Roland: and now we will check مُمكِن الرَّقَم "mumkin al-rraqam" ?
Hala: this means literally means possible the No , which is another way of asking for phone No
Roland: I know that mumkin is a super word !
Hala: Well, as we use it in many situations, and with different meanings, I would say it is ! ,for example it means possible , possibility, can , may , might .
Roland: that's what i meant when i said it's a super word !
Hala: to say a simple sentence like مُمكِن الرَّقَم "mumkin al-rraqam" means can i have the No , so here it functioned as can i , a very polite request form. Let’s go to the grammar point.

Lesson focus

Hala: The focus of today's lesson is using the verb to have.
Roland: عـَـنـْـدِك مـوبـايـْل "Do you have a cell phone?"
Hala: In Arabic, the verb "to have" is a very special verb, and because the verb "to be" is not used, the same verb can be used in a statement and question just by changing the intonation.
Roland: Let us now talk about negating the verb to have.
Hala: We have two ways to form the negation. The first one is to used the negation word مـِـش .
Roland: Or we can break it adding the مــ at the beginning, and ش at the end.
Hala: Both forms are accepted, but the second is more popular.
Roland: So the two negated forms are مِش عَندي “miš ʿandī” and مَعَنْدِيش “maʿandiīš”.

Outro

Roland: That just about does it for today.
Roland: Okay, some of our listeners already know about the most powerful tool on ArabicPOD101.com....
Hala: line-by-line audio.
Roland: The perfect tool for rapidly improving listening comprehension...
Hala: by listening to lines of the conversation again and again.
Roland: Listen until every word and syllable becomes clear. Basically, we breakdown the dialog into comprehensible, bite-size sentences.
Hala: You can try the line-by-line audio in the Premium Learning Center at ArabicPod101.com.
Roland: شكرا ، أشوفكو المرة الجاية
