Assalamualaikum Raghmatullahi r-Rahmatullahi r-Rah Should you learn Fus Ha classical MSA Arabic or should you learn a dialect? Now let me tell you why you should learn Fus Ha and classical Arabic and tell you about a few benefits aside from the obvious reasons why you should start with a classical being the source and being the root of any dialect. One of the whole reasons I guess are interesting reasons which came to mind a couple of days ago is that me having been in Mauritania and having been in Saudi Arabia and having been in Egypt and having been around different Arabs and having heard and experienced different Arabic dialects I realized that knowing and being solid in the classical Fus Ha MSA Arabic it gives you a wider understanding of the different dialects Now for example in the Egyptian dialect they say Amel Teh, what do you do? and they use the verb from the Arabic language which is Amelah which you could be literally translated as work or in that context you could say it as well as to do what do you guys do? For example Allah says in the Quran what Allah will be madat Amaluna, Alim and Allah is about what you do or knowing You have as well in Mauritania they say Addelta they say Addelto as in the you do it the you do what I tell you Addelta and they use the verb Addelta the word Addelta in the Quran Allah uses it as well as you know to make or to put together which you could argue that it means to do as well So Allah is in the Quran and that he created you, created you in the Quran and in the Quran you say Addelta So with that being said they use that verb Addelta as to do to make to put together to make you straight basically So what he said is they use this verb they took this verb and they use it to do like what do you do or do you do it or do you put it together do you manage to do that thing that you say you was going to do etc then you have in the Surahuddi dialect or Khaligi dialect they say Salwa they use the verb Salwa and they say Salwa too, Salwa too as in did you make it, did you you know, did you do it? That's how they use it and in the Quran he says If I say Waqf I dialect, so in the same ayah and the same verse he uses that same verb Salwa to say he is the one that put you together now literally translated or the most common meaning of Salwa could be to basically put something on the same level as the rest of the things to put it on the same exact level which you could argue so that it means to put together which you could argue as well that it could mean to make to do to get done things like that so as you guys can see, dialects are only a deluded version of the classical MSA Arabic so if you want to understand dialects Arabic dialects you should start with MSA Arabic and you should start with classical Arabic let alone if you want to understand the Quran, the Ahadith etc of course, no doubt you should just focus on classical Arabic and false Arabic so yeah, dialects are beneficial in some instances like for example if you live in an Arab country in a Muslim country and you want to understand people and communicate with people and so on it's beneficial for you to do so but for another reason it's no point so yeah guys, I'll leave you with this hopefully this was beneficial see you guys on the next one
