Hello and welcome to a video which
is coming to you from Arizona
when you're in scenery like this
it's a shame not to share it and I thought
why not make you all a video which just teaches you all a few basic key words
so the title of this video is opposites
and I'm gonna teach you ...
hot cold, long short, big small
I'm in Arizona, huge state
America's a massive country
I'm not too distant from the Grand Canyon
in Arizona
which is kind of a huge big dip in the ground
this is like the beginning of it here
and as for today's lesson
I'm gonna go straight in and give you the key words
so the word 'big' in Arabic is this: kabeer
and it's spelled, kaf, ba, ya, ra
kabeer, means big
if you're using it to describe something which is a masculine noun
then you leave it as kabeer
if you're using it to describe a feminine noun
it's kabeera, so the adjective matches the noun
for example
the big man
or
the big car would be...
the big car
so it matches the noun whether it's masculine or feminine
just gonna switch this over to the other ear
it's just so you can hear me better with the mic that's' all
what else... small
small?
Sagheer
again, it matches the gender of the noun you're describing
so, i'll use the same examples
that means the man is small
the small man is ...
i'm taking the al which is defining it and they're what we call
sun letters which means that rather than becoming
al-rajul it becomes ar-rajul
you can watch the alphabet lesson on that
so big, kabeer,
small Sagheer
and the S in the small is the big Saad
whereas if you're describing a car, as-sayaara as-Sagheera
the small car
let's do hot, i'm not even kidding it's 40 degrees
it's really hot, it's off the chain hot
and, well i'm in the desert but guess what
i'm wearing my jeans cos that's what i do
it's not even like i've got bad legs
i don't understand why I always wear trousers
probably because I didn't pack any shorts
next up is this word: hot
the weather is very hot today
I actually poured water down my neck before coming up and that's why
I had a bit of wet here, if you rewind back you'll see
and it's now dried because it's that hot
its very very hot, about 40 degrees celcius
which is like...
I think 100 is 38 so it's about 102 Fahrenheit
which is very very hot
so anyway, this word hot is Haar
sorry about the wind I hope you can still hear me
that might help
Haar is spelled with this big Ha
you can watch a video I made on this letter Ha
in the description
i've actually made quite a lot of videos
it's becoming apparent to me now how many videos
i've actually got
this word Haar, very simple
Ha, alef, ra
I think that's gonna be right cos it's back to front
Haar means hot
cold - baarid
baarid is cold
if you're saying I'm cold it's ash3r b-al-bard
same as if you're feeling hot , ash3r b-al-Har, ash3ar b-al bard
ok, onto the other ones
long and short...
Now actually we wouldn't say in English
to describe someone who's tall
we wouldn't describe them as long
oh you should see my mate John, he's really long
he's like 6'4 he's really long
we would say 'tall'
but in Arabic long and short can describe all sorts of things
people as well as everything else
so the word long is Taweel
and it's a Ta
have I done a video about the Ta?
I don't think so...
but it will be in my alphabet series
so Taweel, Ta
Ta, waw, ya, lam
Taweel
so, the tall man, ar-rajul aT-Taweel
the tall man
short is Qaseer
with the qa, Sa, ya, ra
so the tall man, ar-rajul aT-Taweel
the short man, ar-rajul al-qaSeer
so we've done big - kabeer
small, Sagheer
hot, Har
cold, baarid
and long , Taweel
and short qaSeer
ok, i'll leave you with this
a little bit of Arizona, New York
i'm not even in New York, what am I talking about
I came from New York
I've flown to Texas I've taken the long road down south from Dallas to Austin
I came to Albuquerque New Mexico
I'm now in Arizona, I'm at the grand canyon now I'm gonna go on to Las Vegas
LA and finish off in San Fransisco
my other YouTube Channel, which has got music, travel
and some other random stuff
