Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

First, let's take a look at the numbers from 1 to 10 in Egyptian Arabic:

Egyptian Arabic Pronunciation English
واحد waaHed One
اتنين itnein Two
تلاتة talata Three
أربعة arba'a Four
خمسة khamsa Five
ستة setta Six
سبعة sab'a Seven
تمانية tmanya Eight
تسعة tes'a Nine
عشرة 'ashra Ten

As you can see, the numbers 1-5 have different forms and pronunciations than 6-10. It's important to practice saying these numbers out loud to get comfortable with the pronunciation.

Now, let's learn how to use these numbers in simple sentences.

Using Numbers in Sentences[edit | edit source]

To use numbers in sentences, we need to know some basic grammar rules. In Egyptian Arabic, the verb usually comes after the subject. For example, "I speak Arabic" in Egyptian Arabic is "أنا بتكلم عربي" (ana batekallam 'arabi). Here, "ana" is the subject (meaning "I"), "batekallam" is the verb (meaning "speak") and "'arabi" is the object (meaning "Arabic").

Let's take a few examples.

  • واحد (waaHed) means "one." Here, we can use it to say "I have one brother":
    • أنا عندي واحد أخ (ana 'andy waaHed 'akh).
  • اتنين (itnein) means "two." Here, we can use it to say "We have two cats":
    • نحنا عندنا اتنين قطط (naHna 'andena itnein 'oTTaT).
  • تلاتة (talata) means "three." Here, we can use it to say "They bought three shirts":
    • هما اشتروا تلاتة قمصان (huma eshtaru talata 'omSaan).

Note that while the verb usually comes after the subject, the object can come before or after depending on the context.

Time Expressions[edit | edit source]

In addition to using numbers in sentences, we can also use them to talk about time. Here are some time expressions that use numbers:

  • اليوم (alyoom) means "today."
  • البارحة (elbaareHa) means "yesterday."
  • بكرة (bokra) means "tomorrow."
  • الأسبوع دا (elosbooa da) means "this week."
  • الأسبوع الجاي (elosbooa elgaay) means "next week."
  • الشهر دا (eshshahr da) means "this month."
  • الشهر الجاي (eshshahr elgaay) means "next month."

Here are some examples of how to use these time expressions:

  • اليوم هو الأحد (alyoom hoowa elahad) means "Today is Sunday."
  • البارحة كنت في المدرسة (elbaareHa kunt felmadrasa) means "Yesterday I was at school."
  • بكرة هانروح السينما (bokra hanrooH elsineema) means "Tomorrow we will go to the cinema."
  • الأسبوع دا هاشتغل كتير (elosbooa da hashthol ktir) means "This week I will work a lot."

Practice using these time expressions with the numbers 1-10 to get comfortable with telling time and talking about dates.
