As
we do not write or pronounce the verb “Be” when it comes after a
question word in present tense, we do the same with the verb “Do”.
So,
when I want to say: “what do/does ….?” I will say it like this: “ايه ...؟”. Is that clear? I hope so.
By the way, the verb “Do” is “يعمل / يشتغل” in Arabic. I will teach you the verbs
later.
Now,
it is time to apply all that practically:
English
Question
|
Arabic
Question
|
Pronunciation
|
What do I do?
|
بشتغل ايه؟ / انا بشتغل ايه؟
|
|
What does he do?
|
بيشتغل
ايه؟ / هو بيشتغل ايه؟
|
|
What does she do?
|
بتشتغل
ايه؟ / هى بتشتغل ايه؟
|
|
What do you do? (SM)
|
بتشتغل
ايه؟ / انت بتشتغل ايه؟
|
|
What do you do? (SF)
|
بتشتغلى
ايه؟ / انتى بتشتغلى ايه؟
|
|
What do you do? (P)
|
بتشتغلوا
ايه؟ / انتوا بتشتغلوا ايه؟
|
|
What do we do?
|
بنشتغل
ايه؟ / احنا بنشتغل ايه؟
|
|
What do they do?
|
بيشتغلوا
ايه؟ / هم بيشتغلوا ايه؟
|
Here are some responses:
Remember: the verb “Work” is “يشتغل”, and the preposition “In”
is “فى”.
|
Remember: Sometimes
we do not pronounce the personal pronouns in slang.
|
I am a doctor. I work in a hospital.
انا
دكتور. انا بشتغل في مستشفى.
/ دكتور. بشتغل في مستشفى
She is a teacher. She works in a school.
هى
مدرسة. هى بتشتغل في مدرسة /
مدرسة. بتشتغل في مدرسة
We are farmers. We work in a farm.
احنا
فلاحين. احنا بنشتغل فى مزرعة / فلاحين. بنشتغل في
مزرعة
They are police officers. They work in a police
station.
همَّ
ظباط شرطة. همَّ
بيشتغلوا في قسم شرطة
ظباط
شرطة. بيشتغلوا في قسم شرطة
Remember: As you see,
I added the letter “ب” before the verb “يشتغل”. We often do that in present tense with
all verbs in slang.
|
Remember: We add the
two letters “وا” at the end of the
verb with the pronouns “you” (Plural) and “they”, but when we
pronounce them, we just pronounce the letter “و”.
