Rate this lesson:
What are the differents ways to say "Yes" in Arabic ?
If you want to better understand and speak everyday Arabic, you need to learn other ways than "Oui".
نعم /Na3am/
yes
To say you agree in Arabic, you can simply say "Yes" or you may repeat the whole sentence:
- هل تحب المثلجات؟ نعم/ نعم ,احب المثلجات. = Do you like icecream? yes/ yes, I like icecream .
ايوى (ايوا) /Aywa/
yep ( in Egyptian and some country in Midel East )
ايوى /Aywa/ is the informal way of saying "yes" in Arabic.
You'll hear this a lot in casual conversations:
- بتسكن في قاهرة ؟ ايوى , اعيش هنا .= Do you live in Ciaro ? Yep, I live here.
اجل /Ajal/
alright
“اجل” is the Arabic equivalent of “alright. It use in very short answer :
- هل ستأتي معنا ؟ اجل . = Are you coming with us? Alright.
تمام /Tamam/
alright /OK ( in Syria, Lebanon and the environs )
"Ok" has the same meaning as "تمام" but a little less formal.
- افتح هديتك . تمام . = Open your gift . Ok
طبعا /
Sure
