== Types of Questions ==
== Types of Questions ==
In Saidi Arabic, there are two types of questions: yes-no questions and wh-questions.


There are two main types of questions in Saidi Arabic: yes/no questions and wh-questions.
A yes-no question is a question that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." It typically starts with ู‡ู„ (hal) or ุฃ (a). For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Saidi Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ู‡ู„ ุฃู†ุช ุชุนู…ู„ุŸ || hal anta ta'mal? || Are you working?
|}


=== Yes/No Questions ===
On the other hand, a wh-question is a question that requires more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Wh-questions usually start with a question word such as ู…ุง (ma), ู…ู† (min), or ู„ู…ุงุฐุง (limaza). For example:
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". These types of questions are formed by adding a specific word to the end of the sentence. The word used depends on the tense of the sentence. ย 
{| class="wikitable"
! Saidi Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ู…ุง ุงุณู…ูƒุŸ || ma esmuk? || What is your name?
|}


For example, if the sentence is in the present tense, the word "hal" is added to the end of the sentence. For example: ย 
== Question Words ==
In Saidi Arabic, like any other language, there are specific words used to form questions. Familiarize yourself with these words and their usage to help you communicate more effectively. Here are some common question words in Saidi Arabic: ย 


* ''Ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic?'' - Do I speak Saidi Arabic?
{| class="wikitable"
* ''Ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic hal?'' - Do I speak Saidi Arabic?
! Question Word !! Pronunciation !! English Equivalent
|-
| ู…ุง || ma || What
|-
| ู…ู† || min || Who/Whom
|-
| ู„ู…ุงุฐุง || limaza || Why
|-
| ุฃูŠู† || ayn || Where
|-
| ู…ุชู‰ || mata || When
|-
| ูƒู… || kam || How many/How much
|}


If the sentence is in the past tense, the word "hal" is replaced with "kam". For example: ย 
== Forming Questions ==
As mentioned earlier, there are different ways to form questions in Saidi Arabic. Here are some ways to do it:


* ''Ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic?'' - Did I speak Saidi Arabic? ย 
=== Yes-No Questions ===
* ''Ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic kam?'' - Did I speak Saidi Arabic? ย 
To form a yes-no question, start the sentence with "ู‡ู„" or "ุฃ." For example:
ย 
* ู‡ู„ ุชุญุจ ุงู„ู…ูˆุณูŠู‚ู‰ุŸ (hal tuhib al-musiqa?) - Do you like music?
* ุฃู†ุช ุชุชุญุฏุซ ุงู„ุฅู†ุฌู„ูŠุฒูŠุฉุŸ (anta tatahadath al-ingliziya?) - Do you speak English?
ย 
When answering a yes-no question, you can either say ู†ุนู… (na'am) for "yes" or ู„ุง (la) for "no."


=== Wh-Questions ===
=== Wh-Questions ===
Wh-questions are questions that begin with a question word such as "what", "where", "when", "why", "who", or "how". In Saidi Arabic, these questions are formed by adding the question word to the beginning of the sentence. ย 
To form a wh-question, start the sentence with a question word. For example:
ย 
* ู…ุง ู‡ูˆ ุงู„ูŠูˆู…ุŸ (ma huwa lyawm?) - What day is it today?
* ู…ู† ู‡ูˆ ุตุฏูŠู‚ูƒ ุงู„ุฃูุถู„ุŸ (min huwa sadiquk al-afdal?) - Who is your best friend?


For example: ย 
When answering a wh-question, use the same question word in your response. For example:


* ''Hal ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic?'' - Do I speak Saidi Arabic? ย 
* ู…ุง ุงุณู…ูƒุŸ (ma esmuk?) - What is your name? - ุงุณู…ูŠ ู…ุญู…ุฏ (ismi Muhammad) - My name is Muhammad.
* ''What ana tatakallam Saidi Arabic?'' - What do I speak Saidi Arabic?
* ู…ุชู‰ ุชุณุชูŠู‚ุธุŸ (mata tุณุชู‚ุธ?) - When do you wake up? - ุฃุณุชูŠู‚ุธ ููŠ ุงู„ุณุงุฏุณุฉ ุตุจุงุญุงู‹ (astayqz fi al-sadesa sabahan) - I wake up at 6 am.


== Grammar Rules ==
== Cultural Information ==
As you continue to learn Saidi Arabic, it's important to understand the significance of the language in the culture. Saidi Arabic is spoken in the southern and central areas of Egypt and is a crucial part of the country's distinct cultural identity. As Saidi Arabic has its unique vocabulary and grammar rules, learning it can help you better understand the culture and its people.


When asking questions in Saidi Arabic, there are a few grammar rules that must be followed. ย 
== Interesting Facts ==
- Saidi Arabic is significantly different from the Egyptian Arabic spoken in the north of Egypt.
- Many famous Egyptian comedians, such as Mohamed Henedy and Adel Imam, speak Saidi Arabic.
- Saidi Arabic uses many Coptic words, which is a reflection of the country's long and rich history. ย 


* The verb must always come first in the sentence.
== Dialogue ==
* The subject must always come after the verb.
Here is a dialogue between two people to see some of the concepts we've talked about in context:
* The verb must always be conjugated to match the subject.
* The question word must always come at the beginning of the sentence.


For example: ย 
* Person 1: ุงู†ุช ุจุชุฑูˆุญ ููŠู†ุŸ (inta bttoroh fein?) - Where are you going?
* Person 2: ู…ุณุงูุฑ ู„ู„ุฅุณูƒู†ุฏุฑูŠุฉ. (msafir lel-eskandaria.) - I'm going to Alexandria.
