Hi , I am Mohamed "أهلاّ، أنا محمد"

In this lesson, you will learn simple words and how to introduce yourself in Arabic. First, very simple words are introduced :
English Arabic Pronouncation
Hi ahlan
Welcome marHaban
Bye (literaly means: peace) salaam
Yes na'am
No laa
Thanks shokran
Not at all afwan
sorry aasef
Now, we want to say the simple phrase (I am Mohammed). We should first mention an important note :
in Arabic ,and Egyptian, if the phrase doesn't contain a verb, the verb (to be) is assumed. So the verb (to be) is almost always omitted. Example : (I am Mohamed) will be in Arabic written like ( I Mohamed ) using the Arabic corresponding translation of each word. Similarly, ( You are Maryam ) will be ( You Maryam), and so on.
Now, the only thing we miss to write the phrase is the translation of (I = ana ), so the phrase will be : (ana Mohamed)
More words are listed below :
English Arabic Pronouncation
I anaa
You (m.) anta
You (f.) ante
You (pl.) antom
He howa
She heya
They hom
We naHno
The lesson now is done, you can understand the following conversation (it may look short and quite silly, but it's just for explaining :) :
Mohamed : ahlan, anti Jean ?
Maryam : la, ana Maryam.
Mohamed : aasif. ana Mohamed.
Maryam : anta Mohamed ? ahlan !
Mohamed : naam, shokran.
Maryam : afwan, salam.
Mohamed : salam.
