Community Tutor🏠 Let’s learn some useful Arabic phrases to talk about housing and rent!
👋 When asking about where someone lives:
أَيْنَ تَسْكُنُ؟
(ayna taskunu?) — Where do you live?
أَسْكُنُ في شَقَّةٍ.
(askunu fī shaqqah.) — I live in an apartment.
أَسْكُنُ في بَيْتٍ صَغِيرٍ.
(askunu fī baytin ṣaghīr.) — I live in a small house.
💬 To ask about rent:
كَمِ الإِيجَارُ الشَّهْرِيُّ؟
(kam al-ijāru ash-shahriyyu?) — How much is the monthly rent?
الإِيجَارُ أَلْفَا جُنَيْهٍ.
(al-ijāru alfā junayhin.) — The rent is two thousand pounds.
🏙️ Talking about location:
الشَّقَّةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنَ العَمَلِ.
(ash-shaqqatu qarībatun mina al-ʿamali.) — The apartment is close to work.
الْمَنْطِقَةُ هَادِئَةٌ وَآمِنَةٌ.
(al-manṭiqatu hādiʾatun wa āminah.) — The area is quiet and safe.
✨ Tip:
In Arabic, you can use "أسكن في" (askunu fī) or "أعيش في" (aʿīshu fī) to mean “I live in”.
👉 "أسكن" is more formal and used in Modern Standard Arabic.
💬 Question for you:
أَيْنَ تَسْكُنُ أَنْتَ؟
وَكَمِ الإِيجَارُ في بَلَدِكَ؟
