Description
Marhabtayn! It has been a while, but I'm back with one last episode for 2023. Firstly, I hope you're all safe and well. My heart is broken because of what is happening in Palestine and I'm praying everyday that things get better InshaAllah. In this episode, Lina and I reflect on the year 2023 but in a very light-hearted way. The last few months have been difficult to process and wanted to record something funny and light. My Arabic is a bit rusty so please be patient with me, my mistakes and my essays! I hope you enjoy it and learn something new :) شو أطول مدة متواصلة لبستي فيها بيجاما في 2023 What's your record for the most consecutive days wearing pyjamas? كم سيلفي أخدتي لحد ما لقيتي أحسن صورة للبروفايل؟ How many selfies did you take before finding the perfect one for your profile picture? كم مرة حكيتي رح أبلّش ديت/ريجيم وبعدين أكلتي بيتزا؟ How many times did you say 'I'll start my diet tomorrow' and then ate pizza? إذا حيوانك الأليف ممكن يعطيكي تقييم  لسنة 2023 من 1 ل 10، قديش ممكن يعطيكي * If your pet could rate your 2023 on a scale from 1 to 10, what do you think they'd give you? *In the end, Lina and I had different interpretations of this question haha كم مرّة فتحتي التلاجة وتمنيتي يكون فيها أكل جديد؟ How many times did you check the fridge hoping new food magically appeared? إذا شنتتك بتحكي أي قصة بتضحّك رح تحكي عن رحلاتك هاي السنة؟ If your suitcase could talk, what hilarious story would it tell about your travels this year?  أي موهبة مش عادية اكتشفتي إنها عندك هاي السنة؟  What's the most unusual talent you discovered you had in 2023? شو أزبط حجة فكرتي فيها لما تأخرتي؟  What is the best excuse you came up with for being late? لو حياتك في سنة 2023 كان إلها شعار، شو ممكن يكون؟ If your life had a slogan for 2023, what would it be? لو ممكن توصفي سنة 2023 باستعمال الإيموجيز، أي إيموجيز بتختاري If you had to describe your 2023 using only emojis, what emojis would you choose? مفردات جديدة : new vocabulary الأزمة traffic زينة decorations  مريح comfortable   رسمي formal  رقم قياسي record تقييم evaluation  I don't like taking photos, I like someone else taking a photo of me  ما بحب آخد سيلفي، بحب حدا يصورني نشاط activity  قاعد sitting حيوان أليف pet  فاصلة comma  دموع tears  نقطة drop  تمه مفتوح his mouth is open الحقيقة truth دقيق في المواعيد punctual  موعد نهائي deadline  تقألم to adapt
