On Kilo Kish's 'Negotiations', robotic soundscapes mirror the transactional, 'churned-out' side of the music industry. She asks "what am I worth?" - not to an unforgiving business model, but to herself. In this interview, we discuss this tension, & the importance of art on one's own terms.

Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories.

Arabic Dual: Five Things You Need to Know 1:36

17 weeks тому1:36

1:36

In Arabic, the dual form is used to indicate two of something. When a noun ending in "taa marbuta" (ة) takes a suffix, the ending changes to "taa maftuha" (ت). For dual forms, "انِ" (aani) is added in the nominative case and "ين َ " (ayni) in the accusative/genitive cases. The final "i" in "aani" and "ayni" isn't pronounced if followed by a pause. So, "وَلَد" (walad, boy) becomes "وَلَدَانِ" (waladāni) and "وَلَدَيْنِ" (waladayni), and "شَجَرَة" (shajarat, tree) becomes "شَجَرَتَانِ" (shajaratāni) and "شَجَرَتَيْنِ" (shajaratayni).

Unlock the Secrets of Arabic Possessive Pronouns Dive into the fascinating world of Arabic possessive pronouns in this episode, where we focus on Standard Arabic (الفصحى). This foundational aspect of the language will empower you to use possessive pronouns confidently and correctly. While our focus is on Standard Arabic, we also acknowledge that colloquial varieties (اللهجات) like Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi, and Gulf Arabic may bring unique variations to possessive pronouns. Master this essential skill and take your Arabic to the next level! Here’s the detailed breakdown of possessive pronouns in Standard Arabic: First Person (الشخص الأول): Singular (مفرد): كِتَابِي (kitābī) my book Dual (مثنى): كِتَابُنَا (kitābunā) our book Plural (جمع): كِتَابُنَا (kitābunā) our book Second Person (الشخص الثاني): Singular Masculine (مفرد مذكر): كِتَابُكَ (kitābuka) your book Singular Feminine (مفرد مؤنث): كِتَابُكِ (kitābuki) your book Dual (مثنى): كِتَابُكُمَا (kitābukumā) your book Plural Masculine (جمع مذكر): كِتَابُكُم (kitābukum) your book Plural Feminine (جمع مؤنث): كِتَابُكُنَّ (kitābukunna) your book Third Person (الشخص الثالث): Singular Masculine (مفرد مذكر): كِتَابُهُ (kitābuhu) his book Singular Feminine (مفرد مؤنث): كِتَابُهَا (kitābuhā) her book Dual (مثنى): كِتَابُهُمَا (kitābuhumā) their book Plural Masculine (جمع مذكر): كِتَابُهُم (kitābuhum) their book Plural Feminine (جمع مؤنث): كِتَابُهُنَّ (kitābuhunna) their book 📚 Don’t forget to visit my Amazon store to explore my books, including *In Arabic, I Love You*, and other curated items.

Numbers: Arabic uses both Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) and Eastern Arabic numerals (١, ٢, ٣, etc.), so be familiar with both.Here's a quick reference for some common terms you might see:- المحور السيني (Al-Mihwar Al-siini) – X-Axis- المحور الصادي (Al-Mi7war Al-Sadi) – Y-Axis- العنوان (Al-3unwaan) – Title- النسبة (Al-Nisba) – Percentage- العدد (Al-3adad) – NumberBy familiarizing yourself with these terms, you'll be better prepared to read and understand statistical 📊 Reading statistical graphs in Arabic is simple once you know the basics: – Arabic labels: Titles and axis labels are in Arabic – Direction: Arabic is read right to left—important for bar graphs and timelines – Numbers: Know both Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) and Eastern Arabic numerals (١, ٢, ٣) 🧠 Common graph terms: – المحور السيني (Al-Mihwar Al-siini) – X-Axis – المحور الصادي (Al-Mi7war Al-Sadi) – Y-Axis – العنوان (Al-3unwaan) – Title – النسبة (Al-Nisba) – Percentage – العدد (Al-3adad) – Number 🎁 My multilingual books make beautiful gifts! https://www.amazon.com/Books-Thouria-Benferhat/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AThouria%2BBenferhat #ArabicGraphs #LearnArabic #ArabicNumerals #ArabicData #ArabicLearning #LanguageEducation #ArabicForBeginners #MultilingualBooks #ThouriaBenferhat #ArabicStats in Arabic.

SHU ZAKI or SHU ZAAKI? 2:54

34 weeks тому2:54

2:54

In Levantine Arabic, people say “شو ذكي” (shū zakī) in Levantine Arabic to express admiration for someone’s intelligence. It translates to “How smart!” or “So smart!” and is commonly used in various contexts to compliment someone’s cleverness or smart actions. For example, if someone comes up with a brilliant solution to a problem, you might say “شو ذكي” to acknowledge their intelligence. However, the phrase “شو ذكي” (shū zaki) isn’t typically used to describe something as smart. Instead, people would more commonly use phrases like “هالبرنامج كتير ذكي” (hal-barnāmej ktīr zakī) for “This program is very smart” or “الفكرة كتير ذكية” (il-fikra ktīr zakīye) for “The idea is very smart.” The expression “شو زاكي” (shū zākī), with a long aa, however, is used to describe food as delicious or tasty. It translates to “How delicious!” or “So tasty!” This phrase is commonly used when someone wants to express how much they enjoyed a particular dish. For example, if you taste a delicious meal, you might say “شو زاكي” to compliment the food.

Khaleeji (also called Gulf Arabic or Arabian Peninsular Arabic; “Khaleeji” means “Gulf” in adjective form). This includes the following dialects: Gulf (Bahraini, Emirati, Qatari), Iraqi, Kuwaiti, Omani, Saudi, Yemeni. Maghrebi (also called North African or Western Arabic; “Maghreb” means “place where the sun sets”. This is in fact where the sun sets on the Arab World; the farthest West). This includes the following dialects: Algerian, Libyan, Mauritanian, Moroccan and Tunisian. Masri (also called Egyptian Arabic; “Masri” means “Egyptian”). This includes the following dialects: Egyptian and Sudanese. Shaami (also called Levantine Arabic or Eastern Arabic). Al-Shaam is the name of a country comprised of what are now Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria). This includes the following dialects: Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian. --- With the advent of technology (satellite TV, the internet, social media), dialects have become much more mutually intelligible. It used to take a while for people from different dialect groups to understand each other; or at least it would take a period of adjustment. Following are two anecdotes for illustration. In the early 70’s, our friends (who were Iraqi and had lived in Algeria for a few years already) came to visit with their grandmother who was visiting from Iraq. The grandmother did not say much the whole afternoon; however, as they were leaving, she said: “I apologize; I did understand but could not participate much.” Also, in the early 70’s, we were living in Constantine, a city in the East of Algeria where, due to geographic proximity, the local dialect is very close to the Tunisian dialect. It was the first time Algerian television showed a Tunisian series. We found it hard to follow… the first few days… but, by the end of the week, we all understood everything and enjoyed the series tremendously! It felt so good to actually experience the cultural and historical closeness with our neighbors! **** Help me get a laptop: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thouriabenferhatllc Or: Buy me a Coffee (I LOOOVE COFFEE!) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thouria More on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/THOURIABENFERHAT Send me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thouria-benferhat/message Buy my creations!

Demystifying Arabic Sounds: “kha” خ and “ghain” غ 5:23

1 year тому5:23

5:23

Thought they do sound similar because they are both pronounced in the soft palate, these two sounds are very different. Both sounds are also fricative. This means that, as the air is pushing through, there is friction at the point of articulation (the point where the sound is being produced), between something at the bottom and something at the top of the inside of the mouth or throat. For the sound “kha”, خ , the friction is between the back of your tongue and the soft palate. The soft palate is the soft part of your palate. You can physically discover the soft palate by feeling the hard palate with your finger, then moving your finger back until you feel the soft palate. The sound of “ghain”, غ , on the other hand, is a uvular sound. It is produced by the uvula trying to touch the back of your tongue as the air is pushing through, which results in the uvula repeatedly touching the back of the tongue. This is what happens when you gargle. You can actually see the uvula if you wide open. It is that little muscle dangling in the back of your mouth. You may have seen cartoon characters screaming. You can actually see their uvula dangling in the back of their mouth. I seem to remember seeing Popeye’s uvula, as he scream, feeling the effects of spinach on his muscles. This is in fact, the same sound as the French “R”. You can hear it clearly, in the refrain of Édith Piaf’s song: “Non, je ne regrette rien”. In fact, I have always wondered why the capital of Iraq is not spelled “Bardad” instead of Bagdad, in French. Or even better: Bardaad, to accounts for the alif in بغداد.

Answering a question someone asked on Quora: How do you say OK in Arabic? In MSA, you would say: jayyid جيد (means: good) However, since this is a colloquial expression, it will change from one country to another or from one region to another. In Algeria for example, we say: Sa77a صحة (means: health) In Egypt or the Levant, people say: Tayyeb طيب (means good, for food or people) in the Arab Gulf, people say: zeen زين (means: beauty) That being said, people do say OK all over the Arab world, just like in English. In Arabic, I have seen it spelt these two ways: ‏أوك - أوكي Link to Quora post: https://arabiclanguage.quora.com/In-Arabic-how-do-you-say-okay?ch=17&oid=183436177&share=e81de644&srid=3pzki&target_type=question…
