Hi Weiqiang,
I hope I pronounce your name correctly? Thank you very much for sharing all this information about the Chinese language. It's very important that we learn from each other. By the way, can you please tell me how often you speak English and whom you talk to? The sound quality of your message has already improved and maybe you can somehow reduce the background noise too? Maybe it's your microphone settings. Do you use a stand-alone mike or a headset? |
Hi Tosten,
You pronounced my name quite well. Frankly, I rarely speak English since I seldom have chances to meet any native English speaker in the area where I am living. Sometimes, I practice my pronunciation and listening by following a recording or watching English movies. I am sorry for my voice message. It's not clear,is it? I use a headset. I think maybe the quality of the mic on it is not good. :? Thanks for your suggestion. I've already set the microphone volume at maximum, but it doesn't work. Perhaps I need another micphone. :)
Best regards,
Shi Weiqiang

Hi every one
Hi torsten
I'm nour from Egypt
when we meet some one first we say alsalam alaykom which means peace on you and then the other one say w alaykom el salam which means peace on you too
Thanks in arabic means shokran
and we could say gazak allah khayr which better and means "may god give you all good things"
then you reply and say gazana w eyakom
which means "may god give you all good things too" |

Alsalam alaykom Nour,
Welcome to this forum and thank you for letting us know how people in Egypt greet each other. It is nice to hear your voice and your voice sounds good. :D

Hi Nour..
In spite of some bearable background disturbances in your recording, you have conveyed some very important salutations in Arabic language.
Arabic has a very long and steady cultural and traditional history. In addition, Arabic is the only ''Classical Language'' which stands the test of time without any major changes both in alphabet and in grammar. The best example is our Holy Quran...am I right..?
Anyone can correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

you are Certainly right sahid and our Holy Quran said that too in >>>[9] "Verily We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'ân) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)".
our Holy Quran is in Arabic so it'll be there tell the last day
thank you sahid |

Much impressed by your post about the Arabic salutations and their voice demonstration as you are from the famous Egyptian lands which is considered to be the foremost cradle of Human Civilization.
You have, I believe, a very good English background with much more vocabulary. You have, seemingly, a vast knowledge in Islamic as well as in Linguistic sectors.

Dear forum members,
Belarus is greeting you 'Прывiтанне'. When we invite people heartily, warmly, we say 'Сардэчна запрашаем'. To express our gratitude we use 'Вялiкi дзякуй'. And to give a reply 'Нямя за што'. :) It means you don't need to thank, you didn't bother me.

Hi Inga....
Thanks for your voice message with all the greetings in your language even tough the recording lacks good audibility.
In my opinion, you could have provided the transliteration along with your phrases. It would be more easier to follow your voice with the text in front of our eyes. Am I right..?
Keep recording simple and vital sentences in your language.

OK:
In Belarus Greeting is 'Privi'tanne', invitation - 'Sar'dechna zapra'shaem', gratitude 'Vya'liki 'dzyakuy'. And to give a reply 'Nya'ma za shto'. (I've tried to stress the words.)

Thank you Inga..
It is very interesting to learn some words in your mother language...
In my native tongue, Tamil, we usually say ' vanakkam ' for good morning - good afternoon - good evening and good night. If you want to say specific salutations according to the time of the day, there are special words to add prior to vanakkam.
Have a nice experience..
