Lunch Break
Context:Mona and Ali are co-workers, Mona is heading to the cafeteria and she asks Ali who appears busy if he needs anything. So, let’s start!
Mona:Are you Hungry?
Ali:(laah-shaba3n) لأ شبعان
Mona:Did you eat already?
Ali:(Ayewah-min-shewaya) أيوة من شوية
Mona:Do you want coffee?
Ali:(laa-mesh-3awez)لأ مش عاوز
Mona:Why not ?
Ali:(Ta3baan-shiwayya)تعبان شوية
The word could be used in :1.Start/End of a sentence as in لأ شبعان No, I’m full or مش عاوز، لأ I don’t want,nope 2.Straight up refusal / refusing with a condition as in لأ مش فاضية No, I’m busy or لو أتأخرنا,لأ If were late, I refuse to go 3. Refusal but with a condition لو أتأخرنا,لأ But if were late,nope That’s all, Happy Learning!
