The Lebanese Accent in Arabic

Hello, or in Arabic مرحبا or سلام علیکم 😀

I am MJ Mahdizadeh and as I have told you before, I want to share some examples of learning Lebanese accent of Arabic language with you, focusing on the difference between Standard (al Fos'ha) and Lebanese.

With this lesson behind you, consider expanding your knowledge with these additional resources: Letters, Dhad language ض & Dhad language ض.

Examples

Look at the first example:

• هُوَ یُریدُ أن یَأکُلَ الفُطور

This sentence means "he wants to eat breakfast". It is expressed in Standard form of Arabic. Now look at the same phrase in Lebanese:

• هُوي بَدّو یِأکُل الترویقة (الترویئا)

You can see the differences here; from the form of "He" to using "Badd" instead of "Iradah" (to want in formal form) and "Tarvi'ah" instead of "Fotour".

There are other examples here for you to compare, so let's review them:

• أستطیع أن أعرض لک الکتاب ⬅️ فیني افرجلک الکتاب

• أحب أن أذهب إلی بیروت ⬅️ حابب روح علی (/ع) بیروت

• هل یمکن أن تمحو هذه العبارة علی الصفحة؟ ⬅️ ممکن تشیل هالعبارة عالصفحة؟

As you can see there are basic similarities along with basic differences.
