 Learn to Walk in Levantine Arabic: The Verb 'Bimshi'

 

Marhaba! Welcome to today’s lesson on an essential verb in Levantine Arabic: "I walk" in the present tense.

 

Understanding the Verb 'Bimshi' (بمشي)

 

The verb for "I walk" in Levantine Arabic is 'bimshi' (بمشي). This verb is commonly used in everyday conversation, making it an important part of your vocabulary. 

 

In Levantine Arabic, verbs change their form depending on the tense and the subject. Today, we'll focus on the present tense of "I walk" (أنا بمشي - ana bimshi).

 

Using 'Bimshi' in Sentences

 

To help you understand how 'bimshi' fits into daily conversations, let's go through some practical examples.

 

  1. **I walk to school every day.** – أنا بمشي ع المدرسة كل يوم (ana bimshi 3al-madraseh kul yom).
  2. **I walk in the park in the morning.** – أنا بمشي بالحديقة بالصبح (ana bimshi bil-hadiqa bil-subih).
  3. **I walk to the store to buy groceries.** – أنا بمشي ع المحل لأشتري أغراض (ana bimshi 3al-mahal la ishtari aghrad).

 

Practice Makes Perfect

 

It's important to practice speaking these Arabic sentences out loud. Repeat after me:

 

  1. أنا بمشي ع المدرسة كل يوم.
  2. أنا بمشي بالحديقة بالصبح.
  3. أنا بمشي ع المحل لأشتري أغراض.

 

Creating New Arabic Sentences with 'Bimshi'

 

By changing the context slightly, you can create new and meaningful sentences. Here are a few more Arabic examples:

 

  1. **I walk fast when I’m late.** – أنا بمشي بسرعة إذا تأخرت (ana bimshi bisura iza t2akhkharit).
  2. **I walk with my friend in the evening.** – أنا بمشي مع رفيقي بالمسا (ana bimshi maa rfi’i bel-masa).

 

Keep practicing these sentences until you feel comfortable using 'bimshi' in different contexts. The more you practice, the easier it will become to speak confidently.
