== What is "Be" in Saidi Arabic? ==
 
"Be" is a verb that is used to indicate a state of being or existence. It is an essential verb in English and other languages, and it also exists in Saidi Arabic. "Be" is also known as a copular verb, linking verb, or auxiliary verb. It helps to express different tenses, moods, and voices in the language.
 
In Saidi Arabic, "be" can be expressed in different forms depending on the gender and number of the subject. The different forms of "be" are:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Saidi Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
| يكون (ykwn)  || yikoon || to be (masculine singular)
|-
|-
| I || انا (ana) || نحن (naHn)
| تكون (tkwn) || tikoon || to be (feminine singular)
|-
|-
| You (masc.) || انت (anta) || انتم (antum)
| يكونو (ykwnw) || yikoonoo || to be (masculine plural)
|-
| تكونو (tkwnw) || tikoonoo || to be (feminine plural)
|}
 
Here is an example dialogue to see "be" in context:
 
* Person 1: يكون أنا لكن بشكل مختلف (ykwn ‘anaa lkna baskhel mokhtalf) (I am, but in a different way)
* Person 2: هل تكون مشغولاً؟ (hal tikoon mashghoolan?) (Are you busy?)
 
== How to Use "Be" in Saidi Arabic ==
 
The basic use of "be" in Saidi Arabic is to link the subject to its predicate, which is the word or phrase that describes or identifies the subject. The predicate can be an adjective, noun, or pronoun that agrees in gender and number with the subject.
 
Let's look at some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Saidi Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| You (fem.) || انتِ (anti) || انتن (antunna)
| أنا مغرم (anaa maghram) || ‘I am in love
|-
|-
| He || هو (huwa) || هم (hum)
| هي طويلة (hiya taweela) || she is tall
|-
|-
| She || هي (hiya) || هن (hunna)
| الولادة يكونو متعة (el-welaada yikoonoo mataa) || Births are joyful
|-
|-
| It || هو (huwa) || هي (hiya)
| الكتب تكون مفيدة (el-kotob tkoon mofeeda) || Books are useful
|}
|}


The verb "be" is used in many different ways in Saidi Arabic. Here are some examples of how to use the verb in sentences:  
As you can see, the form of "be" changes depending on the gender and number of the subject. Also, note that there is no equivalent to the English contraction "I'm" in Saidi Arabic. You have to say "anaa" and "ykwn" separately.
 
In Saidi Arabic, you can also use "be" to form the present continuous tense, which expresses an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. To form the present continuous tense, you need to use the present tense of "be" and add the present participle form of the main verb that ends with "-ing" in English.
 
Here are some examples of the present continuous tense in Saidi Arabic:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Saidi Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| أنا بكتب دلوقتي (anaa bktb dluqti) || I am writing now
|-
| هو بيشتغل في مجال الكمبيوتر (huwa byshthghel fi magaal el-kombiuter) || He is working in the computer field
|-
| هما بيروحوا على البحر (huma byroho ‘ala el-bahr) || They are going to the sea
|}


* Person 1: انا مشغول (ana mišġuwl) (I am busy)
In Saidi Arabic, you can also use "be" to form the passive voice, which emphasizes the action or the receiver of the action rather than the doer. To form the passive voice, you need to use the past participle form of the main verb, the appropriate form of "be", and the preposition "by".
* Person 2: انتِ سعيدة (anti sa'ida) (You are happy)
* Person 1: هو متعب (huwa mut'ab) (He is tired)
* Person 2: هي متأخرة (hiya mut'aḫira) (She is late)
