My guesses at conjugating amiyya عبّى

To fill.

I fill عبي
fill! عبي
fill! (f.) عبي
fill (pl.) عبّو

You fill. تعبي
They fill يعبّو
We fill نعبي Or منعبي for like, indicative.
She fills تعبّي
he fills يعبي

And of course ب makes the other conjugations indicative insteaod of… subjunctive? E.g., bi3abbi I think would be he fills (or fills out, as in a form).

Now for past tense.

She filled out 3abbat
he filled out 3abba
I filled out 3abbat?? No, my guess is 3abbeet
you filled out 3abbat (m.). no, my guess is 3abbeet.
you (f) filled out 3abbeeti ???
we filled out 3abbeeni (with less emphasis on the second <b>)
they filled out 3abbuu

Some tips I just read

What to do when learning Arabic gets intimidating? A Professor’s advice

• Don’t try to understand it all. Skim-read newspaper headlines; “only look up words that keep repeating themselves”.
• Work out what’s difficult and address it directly (e.g. practising dills on specific verbs)
• Start off with practical rather than abstract vocabulary

With this in mind, here’s ten vocab words I want to learn in amiyya (or fus7a if needed):

1. medicine bottle
2. to show
3. to succeed
4. pronunciation of conjugations of لقى
5. resettlement
6. expenses
7. income
8. mosquito
9. social worker
10. deposit (for rent)
11. hyperactive/jittery
12. fine (penalty)
13. interest ( فائدة i think)
14. gender (is it jins?)
15. sinuses
16. buffer
17. sense of vision / sight
18. sense of hearing
19. sense of touch
20. sense of taste
21. sense of smell
22. role model
23. verb — to smell
24. to crouch
25. to reach
26. to bend over
27. to kneel
28. to wake up (يستيقظ fus7a)
29. emergency preparedness

Some other words I’d like to review here….

show its strength.. و ر ج ي so.. quadrilit? I guess.
The United States dispatched several naval units as a show of strength
l-wilaayaat il-metta7ide ba3tet (just like sending a packing in the mail, sending a text) 3iddet (several) qiTa3 ba7riyye la-twarji (IN ORDER TO she shows) ‘uwwita.

So don’t say حتى تورجي, say لتورجي . GOtcha.

Show me how to do it  \
warjiini kiif saawiiha. It’s not kiif bsaawiiha, or kiif asaawiiha. It’s saawiiha. Almsot as if past tense. But it’s “I do.”

One thing I’ve been doing a better job at lately is using the present tense when I mean the future – instead of adding رحor ح.

for show (not true; dishonest; an act)
Her crying was just for show.
bekaaha kaan killo tamsiil (note ث turned to س)

When writing in English I like to say something reflects or attests to  or suggests, underscores, speaks to, shows. In arabic this is دل.. For example The plan shows intelligence.
l-xeTTa beddell (but WHY NOT FEMALE?) 3ala zaka (ذكاء minus the hamza). Oh, and it’s not female because betdell is hard to say, so literally ppl just change it. Omg, hahah. I was about to have a stroke here.

visible – baayan. (instead of بائن – but still know it’s AP)

What are they showing at the movies this evening? (offering; not teaching)
shuu 3am yi3irDu bis-siinamayaat il-leele? Somewhere between an /e/ and an /i/, I suppose.

“for show” (for superficial reasons)
لمظاهر (for sights, scenes.. literally I mean)

This shows the truth of what I said.
ha$$ii biwarji Si77et kalaami.
(This thing SHOWS truth of my speech/saying)

I used to think that a certain verb meant to show, but now I have found out that with different 7arakat it is a term for vulva that’s considered obscene, so nvm then!

Clear liquids—

I’ll show them! walla (velarized l’s) la-warjiihon! (la – means رح??!?!?!)

Also note that it’s note أورجيهن, just starts with the waw.

Apparently when you say somebody has [body part ; phys feature] you don’t say عنده, nor لدى, you might just say [feature] is[adj]. OR see this example with a diff preposition: عليه كتاف كتير عريضة He has broad shoulders.
