and thats coming from someone whos mother tongue is arabic imagine me trying to learn? i have a friend in limassol he loves arabic everything and i like the music also even though i understand nothing i like the way it sounds. and you guys read from right to left instead of left to right also?

it is a very big language, we have words for every thing you can imaging !!and more meanings for each single word,

there is different accents its like different language!!

here is few words for you..

Tamam= mia xara

Habibi= agapy mou - i actually knew this one from my lebanese friends on mirc they spell it 7abibi right?:) a lot of cypriots are familiar with this word:D

Gapy=anoytis

La= oxi

Leih= giati

Magnoon=trelos - magnoon hehe i like that one

now your turn lol, tell me some kool words,, young ppl way to say words i mean..

btw i am not sure what word you going for with "comparo" koumpare?

kewl words? let me think of a few you will probably know them all but here goes..

Fatsimenos/i - like fallen for a girl or guy and you put I on the end when your talking about a woman

xwrkatika - village talk

eroteumenos/i - in love. again I on the end when talking about a woman

kathisterimenos/i - stupid

Eutychia - this means luck and also its a girls name.

Atixos - Unlucky

Kalamaraes - what we call the greeks, im not sure the exact translation ask your friends if you dont know hehe but be careful some greeks are offended by this word. i dont mean gcs i meran mainland greeks so be sure if you sAY it there are none around, but im sure if you said it they would laugh,

Xate - come on

Jaxame - there ( village way of saying it ) there is also jame and if your more upper class or at work you say ekei

daxame - here, also village talk with dame and edw for greece

you probably know them all but anw ;p

i would love to hear how you pronounce the words you mentioned. i have heard a lot of arabic on tv and in person from lebanese friends i even went twice to lebanon but when they speak in person most of the words i cannot tell what they are. apart from 7abibi ;p and haram

[fig head]

we have letters in arabic that doesnt exist anywhere else, different sounds can be only writen in Arabic so we use numbers when we write arabic in english letters, like 7 like in word 7abibi,

and other letters i cant explain like 3 or 3` or 7` or 6 same as in Greek i think

when i get greek texts of my friend, i notice letters like 8 for tha, or 3 for pse i think etc..

and i only knew some of your words not all,

i would love to really get the langaue, at leat i`ll understand my favorite greek singer who i cant remember his name but he is so fit and his voice is brillient, i think he have a song called "agapy exaristi" !

yes i can imagine its hard to have text support on many devices for the arabic language. but its just easier especially on irc to use english letters

and other letters i cant explain like 3 or 3` or 7` or 6 same as in Greek i think

when i get greek texts of my friend, i notice letters like 8 for tha, or 3 for pse i think etc..

Yes 3 is for X like 3erw to

4 is ps like 4ofo or a4iouuuuuuuu lol and 8 as you say yes for th the capital th in greek looks like an 8 well kind of

and i only knew some of your words not all,

i would love to really get the langaue, at leat i`ll understand my favorite greek singer who i cant remember his name but he is so fit and his voice is brillient, i think he have a song called "agapy exaristi" !
