Welcome to the second part of this post. Last week, I started sharing with you some of the popular hashtags and phrases that people circulated on Twitter across the Arab, with regards to the Coronavirus. The diversity of Arabic<\/strong> \u062a\u0646\u0648\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 and its dialects<\/strong> \u0648\u0644\u0647\u062c\u0627\u062a\u0647\u0627 was<\/strong> clearly reflected in <\/strong>\u0627\u0646\u0639\u0643\u0633 \u0628\u0648\u0636\u0648\u062d \u0641\u064a how Arabs responded<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u0627\u0633\u062a\u062c\u0627\u0628 \u0628\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628 to the<\/strong> self-isolation strategy<\/strong> \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0631\u0627\u062a\u064a\u062c\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0632\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0630\u0627\u062a\u064a that people around the world started practicing about three weeks ago.

Last week, we started with Levantine Arabic and focused on the hashtags and slogans created by people in Lebanon. Before moving on to the rest of the dialects, I would like to finish off covering the hashtags used in Jordan as the Arabic used there is still considered part of the Levantine Arabic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Levantine Arabic \u2013 Jordanian Arabic \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u062c\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0631\u062f\u0646\u064a\u0629<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Similar to Lebanon, Jordanians were also creative! In addition to the more general \u062e\u0644\u064a\u0643 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u062a hashtag, they had one that\u2019s unique to their dialect, and that is:<\/p>\n

#\u062e\u0644\u064a\u0643<\/strong><\/a>_<\/a>\u0628\u0627\u0644\u062f\u0627\u0631<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n
Xalee-k\u00a0 bid-daar<\/h5>\n
(Stay home)<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead of using \u201cil<\/strong>–be:t<\/strong>\u201d or “il-bait<\/strong>” which is what Arabs in the Levant and Gulf region as well as Egypt use for \u201chouse<\/strong>\u201d, Jordanians also used \u201cid-daar<\/strong>\u201d which is another word for “house”. Interestingly, \u201cdaar<\/strong>\u201d is a room in Standard Arabic!<\/p>\n
