fayz wrote:but wouldn't the local dialect be "Kaam Saar" for how much?

you are right fayz...

some locals say kaam esaar, kaam sa'arha, or ib kam


and i think smart d was speakin iraqi dialect...

This was so kewl, proves how difficult it is for a newb to try and pick up the language, 18 ways to say everything.

Thank you all for your replies.

shou esaar bil inglizi?

i know saar is price, and actually i've heard many people say kaam saar, i guess translated it would be "what price" but now I'm curious, what is the translation for "esaar"

That why classic Arabic is the way to learn, then you can pick up dialect later. Some Arabic dialects do not even use the correct Arabic grammar so the sentence will not make sense in other countries.

I guess you'll not understand arabic dialect in morocco

There's a big difference between ours and yours

But we can understand yours

moroccan speaks so fast and there's a lot of dialect in here

CRAP!!! I made a mistake, I wanted to quote SaraUK's response but edited it by mistake.

sorry SaraUK. I have more power then i know how to control

That why I was asking bushra, because the way you said it. What price!! Which is not correct es just added for al saaar al=the but some letters in Arabic like s= seen the L will not be read so instead of saying al saar you say esaar, like bushra said ignoring L when read but you have to write it.

i was giving other examples of how people would say that here.

fayz is right, there are many people here that would say kam saar. doesn't make it grammatically correct, but thats how many speak here regardless.

also, yes, you're right about the el part i forgot to add....its kind of harder for me to write in arabic but still in english.
