Arabic Learning Thread - 11/04

Yaay, FS is back :)

FS..you sooooo smart :D

rak: she must be telling "eshdawa" now :)

Even I was wondering, how was she able to post?

FS: how did u post here while u r oopsed?

i would like to remind the MOD in his written exception in the 5th comment of the following link:

http://www.qatarliving.com/node/1833359

MOD, plz unblock our friend FS if the reason for blocking is using Arabic words in the main forum.

I got a mail saying that my ID is blocked bcos I used an Arabic word which is in their blocked list..:(

shisha: well, good to know that :)

Am learning......:-)))

Ok.. Well what i said in my comment is

if the police guy says "Ent Ghaltan" = "You're mistaken/Guilty" OR "Its your fault".. then you say "Eshdawaa" = Qatari slang to express your emotions depending on the nature of the occasion

You can use it as:

WTF / WTH? .. when your astonished / shocked

How am i hijacking.. i am just contributing :(

stop hijacking!! :)

Thanks Osama! One of the most useful threads on QL are back :)

CL: plz translate all what u write in arabic so that non-arabs will be able to understand it

anyway "eshdawa" is a qatari word used in the meaning of "why/how come"

yeah Osama .. and if the police tells you "Ent Ghaltan !" .. reply to him with "Eshdawaaaa !"

whenever u go to police for accident (hope u won't) the first question will be "Meen Ghaltan?" means "Whose mistake?"

Sorry for the confusion, Osama :(

in local common used arabic they say "Ghaltan" which is easy to remember (Guilty = Ghaltan)

ROFL FS.. I was joking about Guilty = Gheelitee in arabic :D

its Mudhnib / Muznib = Guilty

am i right osama?

CL: u mean that u say combutar as the arabic word for computer!? :)

TB: Adi's answer is correct

Adi: thanks for your answer

Tinki ... LOL.. what police? :P

and yes Adi translated that right

Osama ...good to seee your arabic thread again..:)

Gheeelitee and Ghalathi is similar.... :)

what you say for wrong number? Rakkam Ghelath?

Osama.. damn i didnt know that .hahaha

I always used mouse for mouse... may be in arabic i try to make it sound a bit like "moz" :P

of course CL, we all need to remember some Arabic words which are not used (eg. do u remember the arabic word for computer's mouse? "Fa'rat al Hasoob")

Well sorry tinki... Guilty in Arabic is Gheeeliteee

Osama.. can i answer??
