Sham / Levantine Arabic Grammar
I usually ask for help in Egyptian Arabic because it's easy for me. I first learned some Lebanese Arabic but I never got good at it because I get very confused with the grammar.
Fel fos7a men2oul " hadha / hadhihi" wa fel 3miye masriye men2oul " da / di"
But how do you say this in Sham Arabic?
I also have a hard time knowing when to pronounce " Ta marbouta" like "Eh" in the word " Cafe". I think it stays the same as "Ah" sound when it follows the hard Arabic letters like " 7, 3, 6 Tha, etc. I need the list.
For example if I say I'm sad in I say " ana 7azine" instead of 7azina
But if I say I'm happy I must ( LAZEM) say " ana mabsoo6a" I can't say mabsoo6e because it would be wrong.
I hear people say words that end in " ya" eeh sound for example " 2alby" they say "2albe" or 3ndy emt7an ( I have a test) 3nde emt7an.
I watched Lebanese movie and in the movie a boy says " ana msh 3rabi, ana feniyeh". He said " I'm not Arab, I'm Phonecian" The Classical Arabic word for Phonecian is " feniqi". If if I say a woman is Lebanese I say " hiye lunbaniye" but why the boy says "feniye"? like if it's a female adjective? It should be " ana feniyi" like "lubnani".
I NEED HELP...this is confusing... :-@
