\u00a0\u0647\u064e\u0631\u064a\u0633\u0629 (Semolina Cake)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here is an easy recipe <\/strong>\u0648\u0635\u0641\u0629<\/strong> for an Arabic dessert that you can make at home. I\u2019ve included a couple links to Arabic cooking shows showing how to make Harissa. Watching cooking shows is actually a fun way to learn more vocabulary, especially if you love food!<\/p>\n

\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642\u0629 \u0639\u0645\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0647\u0631\u064a\u0633\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0635\u0644\u064a\u0629<\/a> (short and straight forward)<\/p>\n

\u0645\u0637\u0628\u062e \u0631\u0624\u064a\u0627 \u0645\u0639 \u0646\u0628\u064a\u0644 – \u0627\u0644\u0647\u0631\u064a\u0633\u0629<\/a> (more of a talking show with a recipe)<\/p>\n

Levantine Arabic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u0647\u064a\u0643<\/strong> is a Levantine word that basically translates to \u201clike this\u201d or \u201clike so\u201d. If someone is showing how something is done, they can say \u0647\u064a\u0643<\/strong>. The opposite would be, \u0645\u0648<\/strong> \u0647\u064a\u0643<\/strong> meaning \u201cnot like this\u201d. It can also be used as a reply to mean \u201cjust because\u201d when someone does not care to elaborate.<\/p>\n

For example,<\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t you go to work?\u00a0 \u0644\u064a\u0634 \u0645\u0627 \u0631\u064f\u062d\u062a \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0634\u064f\u063a\u0644\u061f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because.\u00a0 .\u0647\u064a\u0643<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, this reply is not very polite, but it is used and so it\u2019s good to know it\u2019s meaning in both contexts.<\/p>\n
