Unless you\u2019re watching a documentary, most Arabic films are in spoken Arabic. If you are interested in watching an Arabic film where you can hear the Bedouin dialect \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u062c\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062f\u0648\u064a\u0629<\/strong>, then the film Theeb \u0630\u064a\u0628<\/strong> is a very well made and thrilling \u0645\u064f\u062b\u064a\u0631<\/strong> movie to watch.

I personally enjoyed it. \u0630\u064a\u0628\u200e<\/strong>, meaning “wolf” in Bedouin dialect, it is a period drama thriller film written and directed in Jordan. It focuses on a young Bedouin boy, named \u0630\u064a\u0628\u200e<\/strong>, who must survive in the wide-open Wadi Rum desert. The film takes place in 1916 during World War I, in the wake of the Great Arab Revolt \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0648\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0628\u0631\u0649<\/strong> against the ruling Ottoman Empire \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0645\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0637\u0648\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u064f\u062b\u0645\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here is the trailer. ??<\/p>\n

Here is an article in Arabic talking about the making and success of the film \u0630\u064a\u0628<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u0641\u064a\u0644\u0645 “\u0630\u064a\u0628” \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0631\u062f\u0646\u064a<\/a><\/p>\n

Levantine Arabic:<\/h3>\n

Many words in Modern Standard Arabic that begin with \u0630<\/strong> are pronounce with a \u062f<\/strong> or a \u0632<\/strong> instead. There really is no rule to know which to use. That comes with practicing the dialect.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

\u0630\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0628<\/strong> meaning gold would be pronounced \u062f\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0628<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u062a\u064e\u0630\u0652\u0643\u0631\u0629<\/strong> meaning ticket would be pronounced as \u062a\u064e\u0632\u0643\u0631\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0644\u064e\u0630\u064a\u0630<\/strong> meaning delicious would also be pronounced as \u0644\u064e\u0632\u064a\u0632<\/strong><\/p>\n

Till next time, happy Arabic learning! ?<\/h3>\n
