Lots.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9ygpKh9tte1mXU.html And he's at a real high level, unlike other polyglots that can say "Hello" in 23 languages. Tim can actually carry a conversation.

Thank you, Easy Arabic. I want to have some friends from Arabic speaking countries. Yesterday I began to learn this language. I think, it is not easy, but very interesting.

Are they all replying to the questions in fus'ha Arabic ???? Thanks

@novarealm 9 ай бұрын

They’re replying in their local dialects, but a little bit “vanilla” and toned down. The Syrians also use some Egyptian words because Tim is speaking to them in Egyptian

Since it's multiple dialects, can I suggest that you name this series "Easy Diaspora Arabic" for clarity?

@EasyArabicVideos Жыл бұрын

That’s why we called it “Easy Arabic”, without specification of dialect.

@Ahmed-pf3lg Жыл бұрын

It’s all Arabic. Get a grip.

@Azzam_Alqudsi Жыл бұрын

the Arabic country has a standard Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, that are used in gov't and official documents so that these countries can communicate with each other, because the Arabic spoken in Morrocco will be different than the Arabic spoken in Omar, just like how American English is different than Yiddish despite them being both Germanic language.... most likely they're speaking that.

@Ahmed-pf3lg Жыл бұрын

@@Azzam_Alqudsi No… they are speaking dialects. Not standard Arabic. Arabic dialects can understand each other. Yiddish is a different language from English. Arabic dialects are all STILL the same language (Arabic). I am an Arab and I am telling you this fact. Lol.

@yue-dongchen Жыл бұрын

@@Ahmed-pf3lg As the Yiddish scholar Max Weinreich said, "a language is a dialect with an army and navy". In practice "language" never refers to specific varieties but language clusters. A Moroccan person using many Darija words would be hardly comprehensible to someone from the Arabian peninsula, but it's considered the same macrolanguage due to cultural ties. There's no need to get defensive over semantics. Belarusian and Ukrainian are highly mutually intelligible, but we consider them different languages.

@claudioristagno6460 Жыл бұрын

Are they speaking al-fusha or is everybody speaking their own dialect?

@yue-dongchen Жыл бұрын

The latter. MSA is used in formal situations. And another phenomenon is that Arabs from different regions will sometimes "tune" their speech to exclude dialect-specific words.

@EasyArabicVideos Жыл бұрын

They are speaking their own dialect. Some of them changed their way of speaking a bit, trying to not use words specific for their dialect and sometimes they used Egyptian Arabic words because Tim was speaking Egyptian Arabic most of the time.

@Ahmed-pf3lg Жыл бұрын

Everyone’s speaking their dialect. Which proves that Arabic dialects are intelligible yet some still want to push the agenda that they are not.. lol.

Is it even worth it for an European man to try to learn Arabic, considering how many dialects of arabic there are in the world, and classical arabic is hardly spoken by anyone on a daily basis, and in addition, arabs (especially young and middle-aged arabs recognize it) may make fun of you if you speak traditional arabic on the street. Any honest opinion from Arabic natives?

@EasyArabicVideos Жыл бұрын

I'm not a native, but if you are worried about the different dialects, then I would suggest you learn either the Egyptian or Levantine dialect because these are the two most widely understood dialects. I wouldn't advise learning Standard Arabic if your goal is to talk to the people on the street. -Timothy

My honest opinion as native speaker is that learning fus'ha arabic first is crucial for any new arabic student because it's the basis for all the arabic dialects and its literature and academic language and we all learn fus'ha in school when we start learning how to read and write in our native language. All official documents and newspapers, books etc are in fus'ha. There's no grammatical rules or real spelling rules for the dialects as they can differ from person to person and town to town. although we don't usually converse in fusha anymorw in dialy life, but we all use it in some way or the other and sometimes to communicate with someone with a very difficult dialect. It's the uniting language for arabs. Learning another dialect later will be much easier than the other way around.

I've been learning Arabic on Duolingo for about 2 months and I can understand some of what they say on this video, even people from different countries. I can hear it's different pronunciation but can see how they are connected. So I think it's still worth learning standard Arabic as a start. @@EasyArabicVideos
