>>216016273Ok but Learn khaliji bro
>>216016273>chadian
>>216016326actually varieties, there are dialects within those >>216016358I'm actually divided between Levantine (more inclined to), Gulf (Khaliji), or Hejazi

>>216016273Why?
>>216017387Because Arabic morphology is kino. It’s a machine that works in predictable ways (mostly) that grants the speaker the ability to generate a wide variety of different words from a root word through the application of certain filters to the root word.Kataba= he wroteKaatib= writerMaktaba= libraryKitaab= book
>>216018078Doesn't the same apply to any other Semitic language?
>>216018078Ayy lmao forgot to crop that
>>216018090I wouldn’t know
>>216018090Yeah, but why would you learn Hebrew (bastard Arabic)?
>>216018123Beautiful lang + Old Testament is in Hebrew + makes Phoenician and other Canaanites langs recognizable, I'm learning both Hebrew and Lebanese.
>>216018090Yep, people like to pretend they're difficult languages but they're actually easy for a learner, extremely regular grammar with little surprises
>>216018123How is Hebrew "bastard Arabic"? They're from separate branches of Semitic.
>>216018254I did want to learn Hebrew for the Old Testament. I also wanted to learn ancient Greek for Plato. but I never got to do any of those.
>>216018361Based.I've done stints of modern Greek and spent 5 months living there. It's incredible how close the pronunciation is to Spanish (my brain thinks they're speaking Spanish). Greeks were always shocked at my incredibly basic yet perfectly pronounced Greek.
>>216019317>It's incredible how close the pronunciation is to Spanish (my brain thinks they're speaking Spanish).As someone who speaks Spanish, I can confirm. My brain always thinks why can't I understand this Spaniard before realizing it's Greek.There's the obvious use of /θ/ but I think a less obvious similarity is how the /s/ is pronounced, Iberian Spanish and Greek both put a slight "sh" sound to their s (I believe it's called a voiceless alveolar retracted sibilant in phonetics jargon), and it's makes the similarity so uncanny.I'd never confuse Greek for Latino Spanish though, too obviously different.
I'm craving for hot Arab girls hnnngggg
>>216020582You literally have 10M syrians or something like that. When I was in Turkey it was full of Syrian chicks.
