Numbers 1-10
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
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
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.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have learned the numbers from 1 to 10 in Egyptian Arabic and how to use them in simple sentences. Practice using them in context and with time expressions to strengthen your skills. In the next lesson, we will be learning how to tell time in Egyptian Arabic, so stay tuned!
