| 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”. |
