ii | The News in Egyptian Arabic

 Introduction
In Egypt, as in other Arab countries, the news is published in Modern
Standard Arabic (MSA). Of course, people don't discuss the news in
MSA; we use Egyptian Arabic (Masri). And this is the guiding idea
behind The News in Egyptian Arabic.
Matthew and I have created this book to help bridge the gap for
intermediate and advanced learners who would like to understand
and discuss a variety of more advanced topics that take you beyond
everyday vocabulary in Egyptian Arabic.
This is also an attempt to demonstrate that Egyptian Arabic is more
than just a "colloquial dialect" and that it is actually very practical for
students of Arabic to learn even if their learning goals are more
academic or formal.
The articles in this book were taken from real news stories in 2020
but were carefully chosen so that the topics would not quickly
become dated and would be interesting and relevant for years to
come. The units are organized to make them ideal study materials
both for independent learners and those studying with a teacher,
whether as online private lessons or in a classroom setting.
We hope you enjoy studying from this book as much as we enjoyed
creating it, and we will be waiting for your valuable and constructive
feedback.
Happy learning!

iii | The News in Egyptian Arabic

 How to Use This Book
The book is made up of twenty-five units: a front-page article
followed by twenty-four more articles grouped into six categories, as
can be seen in the Table of Contents.

The Main Text

Each unit begins with its article laid out in a format mimicking a
newspaper. As this version of the text does not contain diacritics
(tashkeel), it presents a challenge and is the best place to start and
end your study of a unit. Before you move on to the other sections of
the unit, try reading the main text to see how much you understand
and how well you can read the text aloud without the help of
diacritics. Then read along while listening to the audio (see page vi
for the link to the free audio files). After you have studied the article
in more depth by completing the other sections of the unit, return to
the main text and read it again. From time to time, as a review, you
should return to previously studied units and read the main texts
again.

Key Words
Several important words from the article are listed in the right-hand
column. Irregular plurals of nouns and adjectives, as well as the
imperfect form of verbs, are shown in parentheses. Each key word is
followed by its definition in Arabic to help you work out the meaning
of words that are new to you. Listen to the audio track for key words.
If you feel the definitions are too challenging for your level, you can
ignore them. After you have studied the key words, match them to
their English translations that follow. You can easily match
definitions for words you already know and then try to deduce the
meaning of other key words through a process of elimination and
other clues. You can find the answers in the Answer Key at the end
of the unit. In the definitions, you may see the following terms:

• ‫( إ ْﺳﻢ ﻣ ْﻔﻌﻮل‬passive participle)

• ‫( اﳌﺒْﻨﻲ ﻟِﻠﻤ ْﺠﻬﻮل‬passive form [of a verb])
• ‫( ﻋ ْﻜﺲ‬the opposite [of])

iv | The News in Egyptian Arabic

The Article
This section presents a version of the article augmented with tools
to help you read and understand it better. The article is divided into
numbered lines so you can match lines to their phonemic
transcriptions and translations in the Answer Key. The text contains
diacritics using the Lingualism system of orthography, which you
can read more about on our website. (Navigate to The News in
Egyptian Arabic à Resources Tab.) In Egyptian Arabic, ‫ ق‬is normally
pronounced as a glottal stop (hamza). In some words, especially more
academic (or formal) vocabulary, it is pronounced q. To help you with
accurate pronunciation, in this book, we place a subtle wavy line
under ‫ ق‬when it is pronounced q. Additionally, foreign names (of
people, companies, cities, and regions–but not countries) appear bold
to help you avoid confusion thinking they are Arabic words.

Comprehension and Discussion Questions

Following the article are three comprehension questions. You can
find the answers by referring back to the article if needed. Five
discussion questions provide ideas for discussion about the topic. If
you are studying on your own, you are encouraged to answer them
aloud or write your answers. English translations of the questions
can be found in the Answer Key.

Expressions and Structures

This multiple-choice exercise helps you notice (and develop skills
for noticing) how words work together in context and chunks of
useful language. The English translations of four expressions or
structures from the article are each followed by four choices in
Arabic. One is correct, and three are either grammatically incorrect
or do not match the translation. Take your time analyzing and
comparing the choices before checking your answers in the Answer
Key or searching for the answer in the article.

Answer Key and Translations

The Answer Key provides the answers to the Key Word matching
exercise and the Expressions and Structures multiple-choice
exercise. You can also find English translations of the article and the
comprehension and discussion questions. {Curly brackets} show

v | The News in Egyptian Arabic

literal translations, while [square brackets] are necessary in English
but are not present in the Arabic. There is also a version of the article
in phonemic transcription to assist those who are not yet fully
proficient in reading Arabic script for Egyptian Arabic and for those
who want to analyze the pronunciation more closely. You can learn
more about our phonemic transcription system on our website.
(Navigate to The News in Egyptian Arabic à Resources Tab.) Note
that, in this book, you will see some vowels in parentheses in the
phonemic transcription. These vowels would normally elide
(disappear) in fast, relaxed speech; however, because Ahmad is
speaking in the audio at a very careful and slow pace, he pronounces
these vowels. A schwa (ə) in parentheses, on the other hand, would
be heard in relaxed speech, inserted to avoid three consonant sounds
being pronounced in succession (a rule of Egyptian Arabic
phonology); however, there is no schwa sound when a speaker
pauses between words.

Notes
At the end of each unit is a lined section for taking notes, recording
vocabulary, and/or writing out answers.

1. Ontario Kids to Learn Coding and Finance From Age Six
2. The premier {president of prime ministers} of Ontario, Doug
Ford, said that the new math curriculum in Ontario, Canada,
will include classes in programming and personal finance for
pupils from the age of six to {the age of} fourteen.
3. The last time the math curriculum was changed in Ontario
was in 2005.
4. The minister of education, Stephen Lecce, says that since
that time, there have been so many students not learning the
skills that they need to make decisions related to math and
personal finance.
5. Ford says that programming and personal finance will help
kids find jobs and be successful.
6. He also says that {there are} many things [that] have changed
since 2005, and therefore, education needs to change, as well.

1. Study: Starting School Day Late Is Better
2. A study from 2017 that was done on a high school in England
found that students who started the school day at 10:00 a.m.
{in the morning} instead of 8:50 {nine except/minus ten
[minutes]} had better health and their grades were better.
3. In first grade {year}, the students started the school day at
8:50 a.m.
4. In second and third grade, the time changed to 10 a.m.
5. After that, in fourth grade, the students went back again to
starting at 8:50 a.m.
6. The researchers looked at the absence rate for health reasons
and at the grades of students at school.
7. In the two years in which the students went to school late, the
absence rate decreased, and [their] grades went up.
8. Professor Russell Foster from Oxford University says that
teenagers need nine hours of sleep, but many of them only
sleep five hours on school days.

Translation of the Article

1. Japanese City Bans Phone Use While Walking
2. Yamato City {it, she} is the first city in Japan to ban using
phones while walking in public places.
3. This law was put into effect on July 1, 2020.
4. Whoever wants to use their phone has to step to the side of
the road.
5. There is no punishment for those who violate this law, but the
goal is that people know the danger of using phones while
walking.
6. One city official {one of the officials in the city} says that the
number of people who use their phones is increasing rapidly,
and the number of accidents has increased as a result {with
them [people who use their phones]}.
7. The new law was introduced after a study in January [that]
found that around 12% of pedestrians use their phones while
walking.
8. This causes many people to hit each other while walking, fall,
or drop their phones {their phones fall from them}.
9. So many people, old and young, have supported the new law,
and very few people have violated it so far.

Translation of the Article
1. Insects Decrease by 27% in 30 Years
2. In the last 30 years, insects have decreased [in number] by
27%, according to the scientific journal Science.
3. Insects are decreasing at an average of just a bit less than 1%
per year {in the year}.
4. The number of insects is decreasing in agricultural lands
{regions}, cities, and suburbs more than any other place{s},
especially in parts of North America and Europe.
5. But whereas terrestrial insects are decreasing, aquatic
insects, like mosquitoes, are increasing at {a rate of} 1% per
year.
6. This is faster than the rate at which terrestrial insects are
decreasing, but aquatic insects are too few in comparison
with all of the insects in the world.
7. But scientists say that the increase of aquatic insects is a
good sign because this most likely means {its meaning [is]}
that rivers have become cleaner.

Translation of the Article

1. Gloves Translate Sign Language Into Speech
2. {There are} researchers from the University of California, Los
Angeles (who) have made gloves that can translate American
Sign Language (ASL) to English.
3. The gloves can read sign language and transfer it to an app
{on the phone}.
4. The app then translates the signs to words and says them in
English.
5. The goal of these gloves is that deaf people can speak with
anyone without an interpreter.
6. The gloves translate correctly 99% of the time {with a
percentage of 99%}.
7. The gloves also read facial expressions.
8. The researchers who made the gloves say that other
technologies that translate ASL are heavy and uncomfortable,
but these gloves are lightweight and comfortable.
9. The World Health Organization says that there are 466
million deaf people in the world, and a large percentage of
them depend on sign language.

1. Study: Rich Americans Sleep Better Than Poor Ones
2. {There is} an American study [that] found that rich Americans
sleep more than the poor ones.
3. The study surveyed 140,000 people and found that the richer
a person becomes, the more likely they are to sleep better.
4. The poverty line in the US is now $12,760 per capita {for the
person} a year.
5. According to {the} official numbers in the US, 12.3% of
Americans were living in poverty in 2017.
6. Doctors recommend sleeping seven hours per day.
7. Fifty-five percent of poor people sleep seven hours per day.
8. The study did not say what the reason for this is, but it may
be because the rich can sleep in quiet places and go to the
doctor when they fall ill.
9. Other studies have found that poor-quality {bad} sleep can
cause {make} health problems like obesity, heart disease{s},
and diabetes.
