I am Assyrian and just wanted to say that I wouldn't use "masheeneh" as a word for "cars". Most people say "atnabeel" which is a bit informal. "Radeeta" would be the correct word for "car". Also, the word "Beena" can work as "yes" but I would say it's the same as "Pardon?".
@ccharlesy Thanks for pointing that out. Your comment is a great example of dialectal differences, which I have tried to note in disclaimers but not in the videos themselves. I have heard atnabel, but most Assyrians where I live (northern California) say masheena (a loan word from Persian "mashin"). I've read that radeeta is more correct but have never seen it used. Similarly, English speakers in California would not say "pardon?", though that is correct, so I used "yes?" instead.
Whats the difference between assyrian and aramaic syriac ? What i know is that aramaic is the dialect of syria and the western part and assyrian is the iraqi dialect... Is that right ?
@ShammarKSA Not exactly. At this point in time, Aramaic is no longer a single language. It's similar to the way that no one speaks Old Latin anymore, but people do speak Spanish, Portuguese, etc. Syriac is a Middle Aramaic language that originated in Syria, but is now dead as a regularly spoken language (Like Latin, it is mainly used in liturgy and texts now). Assyrian is a modern Aramaic language spoken in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and a large diaspora community. Both languages are eastern Aramaic.
@Merbenza I have future lessons planned related to those, but unfortunately I don't have a definitely time frame yet. The past tense is simpler than the future tense, but there are still some grammatical concepts that they come from that I have not yet explained. Hopefully, I will be able to cover these soon.
Omg im in love!^_^ im actually learningg-3

I hope you show me and others like myself how to correctly speak in the past and future tense ? Or perhaps you are preparing it already ?
Best Regards
