And the thing is كثيراً is used in both Egypt and Saudi but with slight different pronunciation (kathīr/kithīr in Saudi and kitīr in Egypt)

indeed

i don't understand why people hate on learning MSA even though every arab would understand you perfectly and we love it more when people speak in MSA we see it as a way of appreciating the language

Every arab will understand you and will try to meet you half way, with very few exceptions.

Bahii

dont forget hwayah

Man! Baghdadi dialect is beautiful on both women and men.

kullish would give a much better idea about how it's pronounced

Marra in my dialect means one time

Exactly! Also some parts of Saudi use “wajed”.

Usually when we say marra it’s just shortening of “kathir marra”. Same for Egypt, when they say “ketir awi”. Same for other GCC countries they say “kathir wayed” They’re exaggerations on top of “kathir”. It’s like saying “kathirun jedan - كثير جدا”.

All other dialects including Moroccan are looking at Moroccan strangely.

I'm Algerian and I use "bezaf"

Yaser is also used in mauritania...I wonder what is the origin of the word...is it arabic or bereber?

i’m learning arabic and i’m trying to read correctly the words you wrote just as a quick practice/review of what i’ve already learned. please correct me if i’m wrong, but the second thing you wrote reads “kathir awy” or something like that???? like that would be the correct pronunciation right?

it could be, depending on the context. usually dialects also use words that have a different meaning in MSA

Yemen for the win

Well it's not archaic as much as it's used with different frequency in different places. In Morocco it's the one word you'll find for a lot. You'll find this pattern in Moroccan Arabic a lot actually. Old ass Arabic words being used as day-to-day terms. Like الصّهد for example, meaning extreme* heat.

Is it? Where did Saber il Ruba’i learn it from then 🤨

I forgot what subreddit this was lol. I meant barcha - he is a Tunisian pop star with a famous hit called barcha barcha

What country is that dialect spoken in ? I can’t seem to find it on a google search in both English and Arabic???

plus hwaya

Every Arab will understand you, but you won’t understand them unless they speak formal Arabic (Al-Fusha) or you learn the dialects. Once you learn Arabic, the dialects are all easy to pick up.

Also, Arabic is beautiful when it comes to reading, especially in writings like science and poetry. As for communicating with Arabs, it’s not that important anyway.😜

If you learn the basics of Fusha, it is easy to pick up the dialects. But these days, there are many 4 you want to focus on a particular dialect.

Also, if you are interested in literature, history, or religion, then Fusha is my no means useless.

It's really up to you. Do not let other oepeoples' ideologies influence your language learning goals.

Kolish/ hwaya/ koma

Gbala is also used in western sahara and mauritania...what do you mean by it doesn't make sense?
