Have you ever tried expressing how you feel in Arabic? Besides feeling happy or sad, what other \u0645\u064e\u0634\u0627\u0639\u0650\u0631<\/strong> feelings or \u0639\u064e\u0648\u0627\u0637\u0650\u0641<\/strong> emotions do you know in Arabic? In this post, we\u2019ll look at words for expressing \u0645\u064e\u0634\u0627\u0639\u0650\u0631<\/strong> and \u0639\u064e\u0648\u0627\u0637\u0650\u0641<\/strong> in Modern Standard Arabic as well as Levantine Arabic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with the positive ones. ?<\/h3>\n

Remember, in order to make these feminine, add \u201ctaa\u2019 marbooTa\u201d \u0629<\/strong> to the end of the word. For example, \u0633\u064e\u0639\u064a\u062f<\/strong> becomes \u0633\u064e\u0639\u064a\u062f\u0629<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

Note: You\u2019ll find that in Levantine, some of the words are different and some are exactly the same as in MSA, or only differ in diacritics.<\/em><\/p>\n
