Weekend SLANG...haiiiiiii!!!!


So, I guess every weekend, when I'm tooooo lazy to do anything, I can just add some new expressions people use in everyday language. You'll find the answers at the bottom. Mat gheishoush!!!

bas eh ra'yokom fee el soura dee? Momken te 3alaku 3al soura? Ya3nee el manzar el gameel da...momken te'oulu eh 3aleh? Aiwa! bil English taba3an!!
Momken masalan ne oul:
Wow! What a beautiful sight! or I've never seen anything so perfect in my life! or I wish I were there now!
(tamreen halw aiwe inokom teboso 3ala eya haga wa tekalimu 3aleha or describe it) Now, you think of some thing to say:

1. I'm not going to spoon-feed you everything!
2.I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't give me the time of day.
3. You talk a lot but you don't do anything. Why don't you practice what you preach?!
4. I've got so much junk in my house.
5. She's a real beauty but she's so air-headed.
6. I come from a small but real close-knit family.
7. You're lucky that you don't have to work but not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
8. The whole plan is ruined! Now we have to start from scratch.
9. You always lie to me and I'm really fed-up with it.
10. Give me a break!


The Answers:
1. to give all the answers; I'm not going to tell you everything (ya3nee lazem intu tefakaru shwyia)
2. ignoring someone; (lama 7ad ma 3arbanash, yetanishna)
3. to do as you say. (af3alak yib'a mashee ma3 kalamak)
4. things (usually useless things....la, mish gozek!)
5. silly (mokh fadee)
6. a close family (this expression is always used just about families. We can't say I'm close-knit with my friend.)
7. Having everything. (bil 3arabee, ma3la'a dahab...homa ba'a fadah. Wa homa el ma3la'a lazem tekoun fee bo'ohom - mouth - .
8. to start something from the beginning.
9. Had enough...(khalaaaaaaas! itkhan'at!) (it's the past of feed bas ma yinfa3sh khalis teoul inak fed-up 3ashan kalt kiteer. Da yib'a ilit zo'a. Min nahyet el akl, momken te'oul I'm full up.)
10. El rahmaaaaaaaaa!!
