This video is all about Lebanese Arabic, but also about Levantine Arabic in general, since Lebanese is similar to Syrian, Jordanian, and Palestinian dialects.

Am I the only one who's utterly impressed by how crazy accurate this video is? If you're an Arabic learner and a subscriber to this channel, let me tell you that you're sitting on a treasure.

I am Lebanese, and let me tell u that this video is soooo accurate. Wonderful job man!!

Nice. My grandmother and great grandmother spoke Lebanese Arabic. They were called Syrian at the time they immigrated to the US because Syria was in possession at the time. They were Maronites, so secured a less ‘interesting’ future for us by arriving in the US. God bless you Sitoo.

As an Algerian, lebanese sounds very tender and melodic to us (I guess other arabic speakers relate). Definitely my favorite arabic dialect/language.
Btw, many of the features that were presented as common in the Levant and Egypt are also present in the Maghreb, like the word for "yesterday" being "L-bare7" (though we can say also "ames/yames" which is similar to MSA's "Al-Ams") and using the word "lazem" to express obligation.

Much love to our brothers and sisters in Lebanon 🇱🇧❤🇸🇦

Excellent video, Paul. I'm a Lebanese-American; I grew up in Lebanon and finished high school there but I've been in the US for over thirty years. I dabble in Languages for fun. My American wife is always quizzing me about different word meanings and MSA vs my colloquial Lebanese. This is the best succinct explanation I've seen, so thank you.

As a Lebanese, you did the BEST job at explaining everything like I am actually impressed, you taught me things about our Lebanese language that I didn't know 😂 Great job man!!!

Nice video, Saudi Arabian here, Lebanese dialect is easily understood by many of us in the GCC/Gulf region... It's a beautiful dialect and popularly heard in TV, romantic songs, and many smart Lebanese people working in our countries! Non Lebanese might use Lebanese dialect or words to sound romantic.

I am a fan of your work but after this video i can no longer describe how amazing you are! I’m lebanese, and sir you have literally zero mistakes in this video and you even mentioned things that i personally never thought about!

This was extremely well done. It is also worth noting that in the Arab world, the Lebanese dialect is considered very "westernized" for lack of a better term.
Probably because we interject a lot of English and French into our everyday lives, but Lebanese Arabic does have a much more relaxed flow pattern.

Great video Sir Paul a warm hug and big shout out to the Lebanese Community in MEXICO 🇲🇽 and the contributions they make to our nation!

As a Lebanese person born and raised in Lebanon, and a teacher of this fascinating dialect, I can say without a doubt that you nailed it, Paul! Bravo 3alek! 😊 Just one tiny mistake, the ج in MSA is never pronounced as "dzh", just a regular French j like in the word "bonjour".

Nice video. Would like to clarify as an Egyptian Copt that Christians in general call Jesus Yasoo3 in Arabic. We have our own version(compared to the Islamic ones) for many of the names of Biblical figures and those are inspired by Aramaic. For example, John which is Yu7anna, meaning John, whom Muslims in Arabic will call Ya7ya, or Younan, meaning Jonah whom Muslims will call Yunis etc

This channel is a gold mine for linguists and this video is top notch. I am studying Levantine Arabic and the content of this video has helped me understand more of the syntax of this dialect. Good work my friend, I have always followed you. Keep delighting us with more videos like this as you have always done. Best regards to Langfocus from the north coast of Colombia. 😉

7:10 and 8:00; I'm levantine and I didn't even know these origins of "Leysh" and "badde". I had never tried to analyze these words, I just used them. Love your videos, Paul!
I'll also add that the Lebanese dialect (along with Egyptian) is/was spoken by some of the most famous Arabic singers (such as the legend Fairuz) and so has become a familiar dialect for most Arabic speakers

i'm always impressed with how your videos are so so well done. The voice over, the visual aid, the attention to detail with the backgrounds, the pacing, everything is just perfect.
thank you again for another amazingly interesting video

Franco-Lebanese here! A fun fact about the Lebanese dialect is the word for socks, which is "kalseet". It probably originates from the French "chaussette". In almost every other arabic countries and arabic dialects, people don't understand at all what we mean when we say "kalseet", as they use a completely different word
27 |
I'm an arab from Mersin, Turkey. While I can hardly speak our local arabic dialect(thanks mom and dad!) I can say that we also use "may" for water and use "shu" for "what". Also obviously we use more turkish words while talking arabic. I have relatives in Antakya and it's the same in there too.

I LOVE that you made this video! Great examples and everything is accurate. Seeing how well you present a language I actually know just reaffirms my respect for your videos on all the many languages I don’t speak (but wish I did)! ❤❤❤
