To all the learners of Levantine dialect, I have recently published my second book on Syrian Idioms titled "The Dictionary of Levantine Idioms, 300 Idioms of Everyday Syrian Dialect".
The everyday Levantine dialect you find in Syria or between Syrians around the world now is unique and full of words and sentences that are far away from Formal Arabic.
As an advanced learner of Levantine Arabic, you feel the need to know the idioms that Syrians use in their life to understand their perspective on the usage of language.
Languages used in the book: EN-AR
Number of pages: 62
The number of chapters: Four.
The ebook is available for Kindle as well as PDF format. The Arabic content is transliterated in English.

I have finally finished writing my first book "Swear Words in Syria, Egypt, and Other Arab Countries".
Whenever you talk to a learner of a new language and ask them what were the first words they learned, they would tell you "the swear words".
The book is for an academic use only and aimed at the learners of Arabic especially those who are learning the Levantine dialect and the Egyptian dialect.
Learning the swear words in a language is essential and important to know what's going on around you, especially if you are in the middle of a conversation.
The book does not aim at spreading foul language. It's only for academic use.
The book comes in 29 pages, an Ebook in PDF, Epub, and soon for Kindle.
Language used: Arabic, English, and arabic transcribed in English. Link to book:

The expression "iza bitreed" اذا بتريد literally means "if you want" but is most often used to mean "may I have ...please" or simply "please". Depending on who you're speaking to, the ending changes as follows:
iza bitreed / اذا بتريد (to a man) / please
iza bitreedi / اذا بتريدي (to a woman) / please
iza bitreedu / اذا بتريدو (to a group) / please
You can add command verbs in front of this expression to be more precise about your request,
for example:
'etini ... iza bitreed / عطيني ... اذا بتريد / give me ... please
ferjini ... iza bitreed / فرجيني ... اذا بتريد / show me ... please
Other substitutes of "iza bitreed" can be used the same way:
law samaht / لو سمحت / please
min fadlak / من فضلك / please
example:
lahza law samaht / لحظة لو سمحت / one moment, please
The word taba' تبع (belong) is commonly used to emphasize or
clarify who owns something. You can use it with a proper noun, noun or attached pronoun.
The book is Emily's/lektab taba' Emily/الكتاب تبع اميلي
This bag is mine/hay eshantaye taba'i/هي الشنتاية تبعي
