  • Arabizing English words

    Posted by Reem Kanjawi-Faraj on November 5, 2016 at 5:55 pm

    In this funny comic video, the actor, who is very famous in Syria, is reciting a poem he composed with English words that have been arabized by imposing phonological and morphological Arabic rules and patterns on them.
    I am not sure how much you can understand of it or how many words you can recognize and detect as coming from English.
    I have received this video today on WhatsApp even though this sketch was part of an old TV show.

    For Ibtisam and Huda, you need to see this.
