Bas ash-shubbak maftooh – The door is already closed. But the window is open) Ali: طيب. القهوة حارة؟ (Tayyib. Al-qahwa harra? – Okay. Is the coffee hot?) Omar: لا، القهوة باردة. تبي أسوي لك شاي؟ (La, al-qahwa barida. Tabi asawwi lak shay? – No, the coffee is cold. Do you want me to make you tea?) Ali: إيوه، الشاي أحسن. السكر اللي فيه حلو مرّة (Eewa, ash-shay ahsan. As-sukkar illi feeh hilu marra. – Yes, tea is better. The sugar in it is very sweet) Omar: دقايق بس… الكرسي هذا مكسور؟ (Dagayig bas… Al-kursi hadha maksoor? – Just a few minutes… Is this chair broken?) Ali: إيوه مكسور، اجلس على الكرسي الجديد، هو نظيف وكويس (Eewa maksoor, ijlis ‘ala al-kursi al-jadeed, huwa nadheef wa kwayyis. – Yes it’s broken, sit on the new chair, it is clean and good) https://youtube.com/shorts/k_3IFZnYL1s
