the first thing you should learn is fous ha, because all arabic countries understand it and it is vital to know for reading and writing. I speak syrian arabic, all my friends whether from the gulf or from north africa understand me all the time and they speak to me in syrian accent cz they all watch syrian shows. lebanese and syrian are very similar. so go for the syrian accent :)
Syrian and Egyptian Arabic are about as close as Mandarin and Cantonese -- same writing system, two different languages with shared cognates. Moroccan Arabic to any other Arab may as well be Chinese! :) Or... Klingon.
@decamillisjacob ja ja ja! very funny! I thought Arabic dialects were more close to each other, just like most romance languages are, but now I realized that they are quite different from each other,even to the point of total unintelligibility.
Im Syrian BTW, i keep trying to speak Egyptian but it never works, basically Syrian is the easiest cuz we dont add extra letters or words to sentences.
I dont know about other countries,but Syrians dont talk bad about Egyptians,we do make fun of LEbanese though.Cuz were neighbors just like the US and CAnada cant stand each other
Syrian and Egyptan arent even the slightest close to each other!
The easiest Arab accents would be: Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Palestinians, these accents come from the SHAM arabic region, Jordan Syria Lebanon and Palestine were all the same country called Great Syria so u could see y the accents are close.
HArd accents would be:Saudi, Qatar,Bahrain or anything from the Golf.also hard is, Libyan,Morrocan, Algerian..or anything from thing from North Africa.
the maghreb dialects are the ferthest from the fusha. the egyptian is ok but it isnt the best. the sham dialects are fine. actually iraqi is closer then any of those dialects. and the gulf it depends i guess. btw real arabs came from yemen why isnt anyone mentioning yemeni arabic here lol
Syrian and egyptian are not close, not a little. Syrian and lebanese are close, same as iraqi and syrian. The iraqi dialect are hardest to learn. And no other arabs can imitate iraqi dialect. Egyptian may be cool, but if you are not arab and want to learn arabic i would not recomend egyptian.
@Alinescafe08 Looooool I'm Egyptian but I agree with you especially since its very difficult for me to communicate with anyone of a different Arab nationality :P
Mmm first of all syrian and egyptian are close.. syrian is more closed to palestinian and lebanese and iraqi.. egyptian is different..
and I would not recommend egyptian because they speak very fast and not always clear.. most of the peaple like the egyptian because its fun, but for someone who wants to learn arabic egyptian will be hard.. I recommend the Syrian accent or any of the similar others :D
what would u answer someone asking u about the version of English u recommend to be learned? its allmost the same situation,, but if u go for the fus-ha everybody would easily understand u,, best of luck :)
YOU ARE FUCKING COTTON FIELD WORKER SLAVE NIGGER , THE UGLIEST PIECE OF DISGUSTING SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE , YOU DISGUST PEOPLE WITH YOUR FUCKED UP NIGGER FACE
I'm Lebanese...Best thing about the Lebanese accent is it's different all around, its different depending on what village or area your from. My dad is from Tibnan and my mom is from balabaak so my dad always makes fun of how my mom says things lmao
I've never heard other Arabic dialects but I think the Saudi one is beautiful! Too bad there aren't any resources for that. There's a lot of resources for Egyptian though..but I love the Saudi one..so I'm not learning Arabic at all haha
That's true. If anyone wants to learn slang arabic and not Fosha or standard arabic then I would say to learn Egyptian Arabic because it's one of the easier ones to learn and also it sounds A LOT better than the other forms of Arabic slang..
@unixblog well when we teach people the arabic language, we tend to use fos.ha .... because we want then to learn the proper arabic form.. so sorry for trying 2 help u out guys... pfft!
foshaa of today is some different from foshaa of early ages with respect of vocabulary and wording.Unfortunately today's foshaa has influenced from English and French with respect of vocabulary and wording although it was very wide language and dont need that.But foshaa of early ages is a perfect language which is protected in qoran,old arabic poems and literatural books.İt has more 1,5 million words.But unfortunately as Latin language this form is not used in daily life.
Im Emirati, and Arabic accents from the gulf are the best :D especially Emirati, you should try it! Egyption arabic though it real funny though, Emirati's call it the comical arabic, so yea you shouldnt get dicouraged.
egyptian is not the best way to learn Arabic, and that is for one main reason, they do not and can not say the Sound -J- instead they say the sound -G- So for instance, If someone is named jordan, the very simple Arab egyptian man who had never used that name may possibly say Gordan. Also another letter that we do not have it in the English language, it is pronounces (a heavy Q) the sounce coming out of your throat. The Egyptians say U and many other sounds of letters
but for me as a way to ease the efforts to any student I would say learn the new saudi accent where all the dialects of the coutry are mixed together, the reason is modern saudi accent & the hard-to-master arabic are similar so the learner doesn't need to pay double effort to learn the standard & the dialect , Egypyian dialect is fun to learn also and so easy due to the media & big entertainment industry they have ,, that's my opinion
I speak both Fusha and Egyptian Aamiyya, but I think my learning Egyptian Colloquial was made easier by my study of Fusha in earlier years of my education. It does depend on what you want to do with your Arabic: if you never have any wish to interact with Arabic speakers outside of a certain country, then yes, you could probably just learn that country's dialect. But I'd suggest Fusha first. I also recommend Egyptian as a dialect, simply be cause it's more widely understood.
actually the best way, u have to learn Fusha coz all the arab countries understand it, and after that u can learn any accent do u want.. Regards from Saudi arabia, and Iam here for any help u want :)
im Egyptian...i recommend the Egyptian accent...why? because first its much easier to learn! and second every all arabic speaking countries understan the Egyptian accent!...for example my native language is arabic(Egyptian obviously) and to this day i dont understand some of the other arabic dialects...Go with Egyptian...dont start with fosha...its too complicated in the beginning!
I am Egyptian, I recommend fous'ha first as it makes more sense & will make you understand the rest of the dialects effortlessly. Egyptian is easy to speak but very informal, but all arabs understand Egyptian since our movies & music are the most popular. But they sometimes find it funny if you talk Egyptian in other arab countries lol.
Listen..Arabic is the hardest most complicated languages ever known to mankind :)
As I said in previous comments..I'm fluent in all different Arabic dialects..I'm Palestinian[Israeli] and even though Arabs are a fifth of the community here..We have over 50 dialects :) Different words, different pronouncation and even different grammar :/
It's not easy for a foreign to master a dialect unless they speak Fus`ha[Standart/Formal Arabic]..
I recommend Palestinian/Jordanian dialect as a start :)
Hey laoshu, you look like a great person man! You are very inspiring. How many languages have you studied so far? Very interesting. I think it's also great that you don't stick too much to Western languages. Keep up with the good work!
we really didn't need the information at open, that you are recording this in the bathroom! It's your face not the toilet we see. And you could have summarized everything in the 5 minutes into 30 seconds. You are bboooring us with the run-on dialog!!!
@laoshu505000 what is the hell you talking about the syrian and egyptian accent is not simlar at all, i am an iraqi and i know exactly how all the arabic accent look like....i dont know how you guys say somthing without to know the truth.
i think people forget my we should be learning arabic in the 1st place the 1st reason we learn arabic is to underdtand the quraan. so its a must that we learn the fus7a 1st and then after that learn which ever dialect you please. personally i would say the eygptian one is good to learn as all arabs know it. but i think that shaam and the uae have nice accents
The most popular accents are egyptions&lebnense/syrian they're easy to learn and lovely , the gulf accent is tough and heavy but cool , forget about the western (morocco..etc) they're not understandable! with all the respect :)
@Reetal00 They are understanble for people who try to make an effort pal :) I have Saudi friends with who I can speak without even use fusha (or a little bit). With all respect
I ADVISE U TO LEARN ALGERIAN ACCENT SINCE IT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRE COMPARING GERMANY AND FRANCE THEY SPEAK SIMPLE ARABIC EGYPTIAN TRANSFORM SOME LETTERS TO OTHER LETTERS FOR EXAMPLE 9 TO 2 J TO G THTS WHY A ADVISE U TO LEARN ALGERIAN ACCENT ITS LOVELY BROTHER
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL that's mean! LOL. Actually, you don't necessarily have to use french. It's like in Lebanon, it's fashionable to mix, but you can say "sayara" instead of "tamobile" and "burtuqal" instead of "lemon" and "tawila" instead of "tabla". I think all the dialects are worthy to be learned. One of each region : Gulf, Syrian and Moroccan! (So you can be understood everywhere)
@bigdoul stick to classical as it will help you understand the quraan and after that i would say learn a gulf accent deffo and the any other you like yes no disagree lol
@WeNeedToFearAllah I already know fusha (since I'm Moroccan, even if I was born and raised in France). I don't think Gulf accent is the best to learn, I'll say rather Syrian, which is easily understandable. But as I said, one of each region : Syrian, Moroccan and Kuwaiti for instance. So you are able to communicate with everyone
@WeNeedToFearAllah No benefit? Why you think that the people from the Maghreb region are not worthy enough? Our prununciation is actually closer to Arabic fusha than other dialects (we pronounce all the letters, when gulf or levantine arabic change or even dont use some letters). And yes I think people should learn one Gulf dialect, Syrian dialect and Moroccan dialect so therefore they will be able to speak with everyone.
@bigdoul i never said they are not worthy enough im jus saying your slang is NOWHERE near fus7ha its a well know fact as for your prunciation being the closet then thats jus a joke stop being biased magrebi people speak french better
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL what you are saying is total BS sorry to say that. Maghrebis speak french with a strong Arabic accent and most of them speak better fus7a than French. Our slang is close to fus7a but some of our vocabulary is derived from Berber as some of Khaliji vocabulary is derived from some farsi or bedouin and Jordanian/Lebanese or Palestinian dialect have aramaic influences. Since we live in two different sides of the Arab world, our vocabulary didnt evolve the same way.
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL you are the one being rubbish dude. And people who try to understand DO understand, I have some Saudi friends who understand. The thing is that unlike Egyptian or Lebanese, we are not broadcasted in songs and movies for decades. So don't be patronizing, Gulf slang is really hard to get with all the bedouin words but when I don't understand, I ask what is the meaning and then I retain. Same with Lebanese. So know it's not rubbish, it's different.
@WeNeedToFearAllah Besides Khaliji dialects is far from fus7a in terms of pruniciation. We say 9alb in Morocco instead of Galb, we say Kalb instead of Chalb etc.. so yes Moroccan arabic has the prununiciation closer to fus7a in terms of the prununciation of letters.
I speak fluently all arabic dialects..No dialect is close to the other..except in norh Palestine [Israel today] and lebanese..almost identical..and the syrian dialect as well..What is known as Shami accent :)
however, in north of lebanon..the accent is different than the Shami :)
@Katerynale Do you speak Moroccan as well? LOL. Palestinian is really easy to get, I have a lot of friends from Jordan and Palestine and it's easy to talk with them. But you have 3 main accents of aRABIC. Maghrebi, Shami and Gulf. And when you say no dialect is close to an other, its not true.
MOROCCAN, ALGERIAN AND TUNISIAN >> almost the same. LIBYAN is close too.
EGYPTIAN is very similar than shammy dialects on a lot of stuffs.
Lemme give you an example..say someone is chasing me and i stumbled and fell..:D we say (peqi'in village, upper galilee) : "kan yghorrnee w tshahlatet..in Ibillin..which is only an hour away, they say : "kan yhoofni w tdarkamet!"
@Katerynale about what am I wrong? And if you don't understand it's just because you guys are not used to our dialect, whenever you interact with Moroccans they are able to speak other dialects. But if you pay close attention, you can get it.
@Katerynale well actually Moroccan people usually when they speak with middle eastern they speak in Egyptian or in Lebanese. Its only with Gulf people that we use fus7a arabic (and even some moroccan do speak gulf)
Saha khouya, but algerian is far from fusha. it all depends on who you want to speak with, I would say you should learn fusha first to get the basic. and then learn a dialect after, depending on who you want to speak with. I'm learning fusha now
You actually have 3 big Arabic dialects family : the Maghrebi or North African Arabic (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia and Mauritania), the Cherqi or Levantine Arabic (Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Jordan) and the Khaliji or Gulf Arabic (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Bahrein, Qatar, Yemen, UAE). These dialects are actually more similars than differents, but people rather focus on what's different... that's the saddest part
If you are muslim i stress fus-ha as it is the official language of khilafah(inshaAllah) and for non-muslims any dialect is fine.Personally, after listening to khutbahs,dars and other media in fus-ha all dialects sound like arabic ebonics.
uhmm....... can someone clear this up for me please, is arabic ONE language or is it an assortment of languages? from my meager understanding of the language, the arabic spoken in morrocco-darija? is different from syrian-shami? can one understand the other? like with spanish-catalan-provencial-french?
@arivas713 Arabic (called fosha, Standard Arabic, Classic Arabic) is one language. It's the language used in the medias, politics, law, literature. It's how you learn how to read whenever which arab country you live in. But when people speak randomly, they speak dialectal arabic, which is like slang, with differents accents etc... All these dialects are derived from Classic Arabic. So a Saudi or a Palestinian, a Moroccan or a Lebanese don't speak ARABIC to each other, but an ARABIC DIALECT.
well keep it up dude egyptian accent's pretty cool and fast as for me i always like people when they speak fast and thats y im learnin the American accent and i think u got a lot of resources for learnin the egyptian dialect
@aeimbak Not necessarily, in my experience. I studied abroad in Egypt, and I actually ran into a lot of confusion whenever I tried to speak Fusha to people on the street. Fusha is widely understood by EDUCATED Arabs, but not necessarily by ALL Arabs.
I worked in a Muslim school in the UK a couple of years ago, and befriended a Syrian English teacher. I asked her which Arabic accent I should learn, and she said the Syrian accent is the most correct one, it is closest to Arabia fosha. The Egyptians speaks with the letter G, which am not to fond of. the Arabic Lingaphone course is in Egyptian by the way.
Egyptian Arabic is the best for being understood universally, because everybody understands it from movies and music and so on. However, it's not always the best for understanding other people, because Egyptian Arabic uses a lot of words which don't exist in any other dialect, like Kobbaya instead of Ka's, or Kanabaya instead of Sareer, or Koubri instead of Jisr, etc. etc. The best strategy is to learn Fus7a FIRST and then at least be conversational in 1 dialect, although the more the better.
Levant dialect is the easiest and most common in the west. I don't know of syrian is the same as egypt, i speak syrian levantine... i personallythink it is very different than egyptian..
@bouwadi3 when talking about the arts, poetry, drama and music, the dialects really communicate a more local and understandable form of language. Check out a couple of our video posts in the Bedouin dialect of Arabic. Very nice if I do say so myself!
Agreed but when one wants to communicate in a multi dialect enviornment (America) he/she should learn a dialect that is middle of the road in order to not only express oneself but to understand the expression of others...
the first thing you should learn is fous ha, because all arabic countries understand it and it is vital to know for reading and writing. I speak syrian arabic, all my friends whether from the gulf or from north africa understand me all the time and they speak to me in syrian accent cz they all watch syrian shows. lebanese and syrian are very similar. so go for the syrian accent :)

Listen..Arabic is the hardest most complicated languages ever known to mankind :)
As I said in previous comments..I'm fluent in all different Arabic dialects..I'm Palestinian[Israeli] and even though Arabs are a fifth of the community here..We have over 50 dialects :) Different words, different pronouncation and even different grammar :/
It's not easy for a foreign to master a dialect unless they speak Fus`ha[Standart/Formal Arabic]..
I recommend Palestinian/Jordanian dialect as a start :)
Katerynale 1 year ago
You should start with Palestinian! Easiest and...closest to the Formal arabic.. :) u know..the arabic that is used in writing and all xD :))

Once you know classical you can master any dialect. Start with classical, it's used everywhere.

Hey laoshu, you look like a great person man! You are very inspiring. How many languages have you studied so far? Very interesting. I think it's also great that you don't stick too much to Western languages. Keep up with the good work!

i think people forget my we should be learning arabic in the 1st place the 1st reason we learn arabic is to underdtand the quraan. so its a must that we learn the fus7a 1st and then after that learn which ever dialect you please. personally i would say the eygptian one is good to learn as all arabs know it. but i think that shaam and the uae have nice accents

@WeNeedToFearAllah The only shaami accent I love is Palestinian, it's the easier to get.

The most popular accents are egyptions&lebnense/syrian they're easy to learn and lovely , the gulf accent is tough and heavy but cool , forget about the western (morocco..etc) they're not understandable! with all the respect :)

I ADVISE U TO LEARN ALGERIAN ACCENT SINCE IT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRE COMPARING GERMANY AND FRANCE THEY SPEAK SIMPLE ARABIC EGYPTIAN TRANSFORM SOME LETTERS TO OTHER LETTERS FOR EXAMPLE 9 TO 2 J TO G THTS WHY A ADVISE U TO LEARN ALGERIAN ACCENT ITS LOVELY BROTHER

@NAZARIODEJANEIRO algerian accent lol no benefit it my friend you may aswell learn french
WeNeedToFearAllah 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL that's mean! LOL. Actually, you don't necessarily have to use french. It's like in Lebanon, it's fashionable to mix, but you can say "sayara" instead of "tamobile" and "burtuqal" instead of "lemon" and "tawila" instead of "tabla". I think all the dialects are worthy to be learned. One of each region : Gulf, Syrian and Moroccan! (So you can be understood everywhere)
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul stick to classical as it will help you understand the quraan and after that i would say learn a gulf accent deffo and the any other you like yes no disagree lol
WeNeedToFearAllah 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah I already know fusha (since I'm Moroccan, even if I was born and raised in France). I don't think Gulf accent is the best to learn, I'll say rather Syrian, which is easily understandable. But as I said, one of each region : Syrian, Moroccan and Kuwaiti for instance. So you are able to communicate with everyone
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul morrocan no benefit in it its too far away from fusha
WeNeedToFearAllah 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah No benefit? Why you think that the people from the Maghreb region are not worthy enough? Our prununciation is actually closer to Arabic fusha than other dialects (we pronounce all the letters, when gulf or levantine arabic change or even dont use some letters). And yes I think people should learn one Gulf dialect, Syrian dialect and Moroccan dialect so therefore they will be able to speak with everyone.
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul i never said they are not worthy enough im jus saying your slang is NOWHERE near fus7ha its a well know fact as for your prunciation being the closet then thats jus a joke stop being biased magrebi people speak french better
WeNeedToFearAllah 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL what you are saying is total BS sorry to say that. Maghrebis speak french with a strong Arabic accent and most of them speak better fus7a than French. Our slang is close to fus7a but some of our vocabulary is derived from Berber as some of Khaliji vocabulary is derived from some farsi or bedouin and Jordanian/Lebanese or Palestinian dialect have aramaic influences. Since we live in two different sides of the Arab world, our vocabulary didnt evolve the same way.
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul morrocan slag is rubbish and khalos if it was so good people would understand you yella ma3 salaam2
WeNeedToFearAllah 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah LOL you are the one being rubbish dude. And people who try to understand DO understand, I have some Saudi friends who understand. The thing is that unlike Egyptian or Lebanese, we are not broadcasted in songs and movies for decades. So don't be patronizing, Gulf slang is really hard to get with all the bedouin words but when I don't understand, I ask what is the meaning and then I retain. Same with Lebanese. So know it's not rubbish, it's different.
bigdoul 1 year ago
@WeNeedToFearAllah Besides Khaliji dialects is far from fus7a in terms of pruniciation. We say 9alb in Morocco instead of Galb, we say Kalb instead of Chalb etc.. so yes Moroccan arabic has the prununiciation closer to fus7a in terms of the prununciation of letters.
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul Seriously dude :)!!!
I speak fluently all arabic dialects..No dialect is close to the other..except in norh Palestine [Israel today] and lebanese..almost identical..and the syrian dialect as well..What is known as Shami accent :)
however, in north of lebanon..the accent is different than the Shami :)
Katerynale 1 year ago
@Katerynale Do you speak Moroccan as well? LOL. Palestinian is really easy to get, I have a lot of friends from Jordan and Palestine and it's easy to talk with them. But you have 3 main accents of aRABIC. Maghrebi, Shami and Gulf. And when you say no dialect is close to an other, its not true.
MOROCCAN, ALGERIAN AND TUNISIAN >> almost the same. LIBYAN is close too.
EGYPTIAN is very similar than shammy dialects on a lot of stuffs.
and the gulf countries are also close.
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul Okay..close..but still different!!
Lemme give you an example..say someone is chasing me and i stumbled and fell..:D we say (peqi'in village, upper galilee) : "kan yghorrnee w tshahlatet..in Ibillin..which is only an hour away, they say : "kan yhoofni w tdarkamet!"

@Katerynale about what am I wrong? And if you don't understand it's just because you guys are not used to our dialect, whenever you interact with Moroccans they are able to speak other dialects. But if you pay close attention, you can get it.

@bigdoul Hehe..i was just giving you an example!

@Katerynale well actually Moroccan people usually when they speak with middle eastern they speak in Egyptian or in Lebanese. Its only with Gulf people that we use fus7a arabic (and even some moroccan do speak gulf)
bigdoul 1 year ago
@NAZARIODEJANEIRO
Saha khouya, but algerian is far from fusha. it all depends on who you want to speak with, I would say you should learn fusha first to get the basic. and then learn a dialect after, depending on who you want to speak with. I'm learning fusha now

You actually have 3 big Arabic dialects family : the Maghrebi or North African Arabic (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia and Mauritania), the Cherqi or Levantine Arabic (Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Jordan) and the Khaliji or Gulf Arabic (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Bahrein, Qatar, Yemen, UAE). These dialects are actually more similars than differents, but people rather focus on what's different... that's the saddest part
bigdoul 1 year ago
@bigdoul -oooh ok, i was mistaken in where, i thought it was like different languages. thnx for the reply.
arivas713 1 year ago
If you are muslim i stress fus-ha as it is the official language of khilafah(inshaAllah) and for non-muslims any dialect is fine.Personally, after listening to khutbahs,dars and other media in fus-ha all dialects sound like arabic ebonics.
MuminAzraaq 1 year ago
uhmm....... can someone clear this up for me please, is arabic ONE language or is it an assortment of languages? from my meager understanding of the language, the arabic spoken in morrocco-darija? is different from syrian-shami? can one understand the other? like with spanish-catalan-provencial-french?
arivas713 1 year ago
@arivas713 Arabic (called fosha, Standard Arabic, Classic Arabic) is one language. It's the language used in the medias, politics, law, literature. It's how you learn how to read whenever which arab country you live in. But when people speak randomly, they speak dialectal arabic, which is like slang, with differents accents etc... All these dialects are derived from Classic Arabic. So a Saudi or a Palestinian, a Moroccan or a Lebanese don't speak ARABIC to each other, but an ARABIC DIALECT.

aeimbak 1 year ago 17
@aeimbak Not necessarily, in my experience. I studied abroad in Egypt, and I actually ran into a lot of confusion whenever I tried to speak Fusha to people on the street. Fusha is widely understood by EDUCATED Arabs, but not necessarily by ALL Arabs.

I worked in a Muslim school in the UK a couple of years ago, and befriended a Syrian English teacher. I asked her which Arabic accent I should learn, and she said the Syrian accent is the most correct one, it is closest to Arabia fosha. The Egyptians speaks with the letter G, which am not to fond of. the Arabic Lingaphone course is in Egyptian by the way.

Egyptian Arabic is the best for being understood universally, because everybody understands it from movies and music and so on. However, it's not always the best for understanding other people, because Egyptian Arabic uses a lot of words which don't exist in any other dialect, like Kobbaya instead of Ka's, or Kanabaya instead of Sareer, or Koubri instead of Jisr, etc. etc. The best strategy is to learn Fus7a FIRST and then at least be conversational in 1 dialect, although the more the better.

hey man..
allow me to share some common facts about accents..
there are certain letters that don't get pronounced right in arabic depending where u come from
1st letter is " ذ " which is pronounced " tha " but we Arabs don't say it right.
so Egyptians say it " za " Syrians say it " da"..for easiness i guess
2nd letter is " ج" which is pronounced " Je " but Egyptians say it "ga" as in Game as well as some people from gulf area
pronunciations like this matters in the formal language

@bouwadi3 when talking about the arts, poetry, drama and music, the dialects really communicate a more local and understandable form of language. Check out a couple of our video posts in the Bedouin dialect of Arabic. Very nice if I do say so myself!
sabeelmedia 1 year ago
@sabeelmedia
Agreed but when one wants to communicate in a multi dialect enviornment (America) he/she should learn a dialect that is middle of the road in order to not only express oneself but to understand the expression of others...
