#61

oh! sorry, I am maybe a bit to enthousiastic?

#62

:blink: No, I didn’t mean that by any means, come on! :slight_smile:
I just wanted to encourage other members to be as brave as you are and start working on their Darija. I didn’t mean you should slow down your enthusiasm! Really!
I even thought that we can have some advanced exercise for you if you wish :).
Do the next sentence!

#63

Okay here Iam again!

If You don’t come to me now, I will never talk to you again.

#64

[quote=Marilyn]Okay here Iam again!

If You don’t come to me now, I will never talk to you again.[/quote]
Very good!
3ndî could mean also “chez moi” (at my home).

Next sentence:
Wâsh mâ ghâdîsh tnqS mn hâdîk lmôsîqâ? Râh Drrîtînâ f ryôsnâ.
[large]??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? ???.[/large]

#65

oh, help: tnqS and ryosna… are words that I don’t understand

#66

Ryôs is the plural of râs, head.
You will have to guess the verb from the context.

#67

Wil you not go crazy from that music? It is hurting our head.:huh:

#68

You almost got it right. :slight_smile:
NqS = Reduce.

So:

[quote]Wâsh mâ ghâdîsh tnqS mn hâdîk lmôsîqâ? Râh Drrîtînâ f ryôsnâ.
??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? ???[/quote]
Translation: Won’t you reduce (the volume) of that music? You’re giving us a headache.

Drr= To hurt.
Example: Drrnî râsî = My head hurts = I have a headache.

Good job Marilyn :).

New sentence:

Shkôn gâl lîk râh Imane ma bghâtsh tjî?
[large]??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?? ??? ???[/large]

#69

oh!! somtimes I am a bit disapointed in myself: I know the word naqis and I can’t guess tnqS…:cry:

Who told you that Imane didn’t won’t to come?

#70

In the professor’s book I learnt: ras ka ydrrni
Is that also ok?

#71

Correct. But I’d put that in the present, not the past, although it’s correct for the past too.

[quote=Marilyn]In the professor’s book I learnt: ras ka ydrrni
Is that also ok?[/quote]
Râs is undefinite, so someone’s head is hurting you? Nah, it’s your head, so you better make that clear: Râsî (my head) kayDrrnî.

Next sentence:
Moshkiltî hiyya annanî mâ 3ndî 7ttâ ryâl.
[large]??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ??? ???[/large]

#72

She had a problem because she hadn’t any ryal ( money )

#73

Think again?

#74

my problem is that I don’t have any ryal (money):ok:

#75

5/5. You didn’t cheat, now did you?
I couldn’t believe you could possibly make a mistake such as mixing up “I” with “she”!
I’ll move on…

Next sentence:
Qll3î shkôn jâyy 3ndnâ lyôm!
[large]??? ??? ??? ??? !!![/large]

Giggles I am almost 100% positive that you don’t know the verb. What! I have to keep the sentences challenging to some extent. :ok:

#76

Guess who came by ( to our house ) today?

#77

Arg, I am glad I didn’t bet my left arm :mdr:.
Well done for the verb. Qll3 is indeed to guess. But jâyy is coming, it would be jâ if it was in the past.

So the translation is:
Guess who is coming by (to our house) today.

Next sentence:
Marilyn tlmîda mojtahida w dkiyya.
[large]??? ??? ??? ? ???[/large]

#78

Hi, hi! :^^:

I have problems with the new transcription ( before transcription from the prof )
Would you like to explain me:

huwa yja : he comes
huwa ja: (past) he came
but what about jayy???

#79

Sure.
We do not really start sentences with personal pronouns like in English (he did), we do only if we want to emphasize the subject. So I guess in the book it was just for educational purposes?
So:
Jâ = He came.
Yjî = He comes (not yjâ!!)
Ghâdî yjî = He will come.
Jâyy = coming. It’s the present participle.

#80

Thanks! Yes the prof wrote sometimes huwa, hiyya just to explain.

And for the next sentence I only understand: intelligent at the end, thanks anyway, but I am not so sure…
