Hi guys!

Im having a good time reading all your discussion in here,.to be honest it really helps a lot to all who dont speak arabic!.thanks to chocho-muchacha..

im trying to take down a note for those given words here and trying to apply dealing with people!..hehehe

cyah!

I am fluent in most arabic dialects. However, Kuwaiti is something I really struggle with. I might be moving to kuwait soon and have to admit this is very helpful.

Hi everybody…

If you know many languages especially Hindi-Urdu-Parisian-English mixed with little Zanzibarian words then you will be able to understand 40 to 60 percent of Kuwaiti slang!!

i.e.

Sida (Si-da)   : means straight Original is Hindi & Urdu Word
Jotti ( Jo-tti ): means shoes   Original is Hindi & Urdu Word
Ssij ( Si-j):  means oh Really! Original is Hindi & Urdu Word
Derecha ( Dere-cha) : means window Original is Parisian Word
Panka ( Pan-ka ): means fan Original is Urdu Word
Sumbook (Sum-book): means wooden boat Original is Zanzibarian Word
Shakar ( Sha-kar ) : means sugar Original is English word
Bas ( bas ) : means enough Original is Hindi & Urdu word
Leight (Lei-ght): means Light Original is English Word
Keshin ( Kesh-in ): means Cushion Original is English Word
Moutar ( mou-tur ): means Motor Original is English Word
Bottol (Bo-ttol ): means Bottle  Original is English Word


Many to come next series… 

Ciao.

Hi,
I had fun reading the post because im learning in it and im taking notes, can u post more specially those words that are being use daily. thanks a lot..

heres a better idea; why dont people type up what they want to learn to say in arabic, or a specific scenario they wish to engage in, and the translation will be posted shortly?

a7san l-ta3llom al 3arabi moshahadah il aflam aw baramej. bas ma3 subtitles. ana matalan ara' sha3biya, al-karton.shay zeyyyn wayed, bas ma afhamohom a7yanan...

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

well done Karolina, and we understand u too

the just of what the lady said is that the best way to learn arabic is thru movies and tv series, using subtitles. me for example, i watch a cartoon (i think?) very good, but sometimes i dont understand them.

and kudos for understanding the franco-arabic use of 6 & 7 now add to that the 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9 and ur good to go!

"sha3biya" ya3ni 3onwan al kartoon hay -http://www.roo7oman.com/tube/watch3847.html

heres the funny thing: 3onwan means address as well

I invite you to post an advert in the Classes section (Language classes) in the Kuwait classifieds. It can help.

Thank you,

Hi thanks for the response.. u think I can find some language class here that is free?

it will be much better if u can add words in arabic letters. it is difficult to make out the exact word.

hiii...

I love to learn kuwaiti arabic. ...can I join the group?

HI hussain1369 and welcome to Expat.com

Since you posted on an old thread,  I invite you to start a new discussion on the Kuwait forum for better visibility and interaction.
