    do you speak arabic?

    in Middle East and North Africa

    Posted

    I speak Egyptian pretty fluently...but my parents are Egyptian...so..I don't count..

    but anyway, here's this website...from wiki...this link is for modern standard arabic..but there are links for egyptian and jordanian and lebanese arabic... http://wikitravel.org/en/Arabic

    also...if you know the arabic alphabet, here's the common transliteration that Arabs use on the internet and stuff...

    alif--aa

    baa--b

    taa--t

    thaa--th [or s for Egyptians]

    jeem--j [or g for Egyptians]

    Haa--7

    khaa--kh or 7' or 5

    daal--d

    dhaal--dh [or z for Egyptians]

    raa--r

    zaa--z

    seen--s

    sheen--sh

    Sud--s

    Dud--d

    Taa--6 or t

    Dhaa--dh

    ain--3

    ghain--gh or 3'

    faa--f

    qaaf--q or 9

    kaaf--k

    meem--m

    noon--n

    haa--h

    waw--w

    yaa--y

    as for the vowels....

    fat-7a--a

    kasra--i or e

    damma--o or u

    shadda--double consonant

    hamza--2

    ...so, if you want to say I love you to your husband...it would be ba7ibak....to your wife...it would be ba7ibik... (L):)

    in arabic, ba7ibak would be بَحِبَك

    and ba7ibik would be بَحِبِك

    anyway...so that's my little arabic lesson..haha...

    hope it was useful.. :)

    all the best guys!! (L)

    They forbid eating pork because they consider it unclean, however, in a life or death situation, anyone capable of thinking for themselves would rationalize the situation and choose the lessor 'evil'.

    It's lesser evil, Steven. Lesser. A lessor is someone who lends money or grants a lease of property to a lessee.

    I'm not bickering.

    ...just because someone is disagreeing with you, doesn't mean you have to be rude!! take a step back and think of where you're posting....its visajourney.com ...a lot of people on here don't speak English as their first language...it was completely unnecessary to point that out...clearly, you understood what he was trying to say.

    um, you're new here ain't you? steven, aka the fancypants, is a usc. and mawilson is a brit.

    thanks. but that's still rude, nonetheless...

    if not my husband is not home wen receipt arrives...

    my husband is visiting this winter break inshaAllah ..... if the receipt for the i-130 arrives in the mail wen he is not there... what happens to it??

    Where is he visiting? The US??

    she's the Egyptian. he's the American (i think :unsure: )

    whoops!!! :blush:

    who is the armenian then? :unsure:

    Anyways he would just get the NOA2 and wouldn't really do anything with it anyways so don't fret. Once the NOA2 happens then it will go to NVC and they will send along to Cairo and you will be the one contacted with the packet 3 information. :)

    ...that's a mistake on the timeline...it also happened to me... :) i think Armenia is the default, i guess because it's at the beginning of the list...haha...

    I must agree with Number 6. This is a puff piece that essentially says, "Wow! Those Muslims aren't all murderous zealots after all! Look at this guy! Assisting a Jew, no less!" That this is considered news implies that it is unusual and thus worthy of attention. This may be a story in, say, Gaza City (OK, there probably aren't too many people spreading Hanukkah wishes there, but...), but in New York? Come on. People come to each other's aid all the time in big cities. Incidents on subways and elsewhere are broken up frequently. Usually they don't get much attention.

    As No. 6 suggests, turning a good deed into a supposed news story that focuses on the religious backgrounds of the individuals perpetuates the notion that some differences seem insurmountable, but isn't it just precious when people look underneath the yarmulke or hijab to see the person? This story is condescending to Muslims and suggests that Hassan should be commended for not doing the "expected" thing: pushing through the crowd to get a better view or even joining in, of course.

    There are more effective and less cartoonish ways of noting tolerance and good relationships among people from different religions and cultures, if that's what one wishes to discuss.

    it's funny, because the article says that this happened on a crowded car...why didn't anyone else, except for Hassan come to this guy's aid???

    there's a video on nypost.com ....you'll hear more about the reeal story there...

    ...oh, sorry, i just realized you said the receipt for the nvc....after you receive the receipt, you won't be receiving anything else for a couple of months i think...but the only bad thing is that you won't know what your case number is until your husband returns to the US.....so again, i'd suggest he has a friend check his mail for him or something...because once you have the case number, you can check your case status online and have them email you when you with the updates....

    hope your journey is a quick and smooth one insha Allah... :)

    ..all the best..

    ...well, if it arrives [insha Allah it does...the sooner the better!! :) ] ....it will just sit in his mailbox until he returns....but a few weeks after that, he should also be receiving the first letter from the NVC, which is the Choice of Agent letter....but they also send it to you...so if they're successful in getting it to you in Egypt [my husband hasn't received a single letter...haha] ...then it won't hold you up at all....but if he could, he should have a friend check his mail for him while he's away, so they can update you guys on that...

    all the best ;)

    Interacting with other human beings in NYC is dangerous.

    There are human beings in NYC? :o

    ouch! that one was below the belt...lol, just kidding...i know its hard to believe sometimes...but yes, there are human beings in NYC!! :)

    ..actually, when i read your comment, i remembered a study i read about a couple of years ago.....they wanted to see which state had the "nicest" people[i guess]....they put a pregnant woman on crowded public buses and subways around america and they found that in NYC, more people offered their seats to her....

    In other cities, that pregnant woman would be the only passenger on the bus. Seats aplenty. That's really comparing apples and oranges.

    i guess you have a point..haha...but actually, i'm sure when conducting the study, they made sure they put her on a crowded bus or subway... :unsure: just a thought...

    ..so....yeah, we're a little colder than other americans...we find it weird when total strangers smile and say hello to us on the street...hahah...but we're nice people otherwise.. :)

    What wrong with a good azz beating serves him right for sticking his huge nose in some elses business. :jest:

    ...i don't know if you're referring to the Muslim or the Jew...but either way, i must say, that's a rather immature response...

    If i saw 10 thugs doing wrong i turn my head and exit stage left. :P

    lol...now, i understand what you meant...hahaha...
