Lebanese Arabic Transcript and English Contextual Translation
عمر: ألو، مسا الخير ميرا. كيفك؟ شو عاملة الليلة؟
Omar: Hello, good evening Mira. What are doing tonight?
ريما: أهلًا عمر! أنا منيحة وإنت كيف؟ متل ما بعمل كل ليلة: رح حضر عشا طيب وإقعد أحضر شي مسلسل عنتفلكس. إنت عندك مشاريع؟
Mira: Hey Omar! I’m good and you? I’m going to do what I do every night: prepare a yummy dinner, sit back and watch some series on Netflix. Do you have any plans?
عمر: عم فكر زبط ضهرة مع الشلة. كرمال هيك عم إحكيكي، إلنا كتير زمان مش ضاهرين كلنا سوا. وأنا شخصيًا مشتاق نقعد نتساير. تعي معنا، بلا نتفلكس الليلة. كل يوم فيكي تحضر مسلسلات، بس مش كل يوم فيكي تشوفينا!
Omar: I’m thinking of organizing an outing with the squad. That’s why I’m contacting you, it’s been so long that we haven’t all gone out together. I personally miss our chitchats. No Netflix for tonight, come with us! You can watch series every day, but you don’t get to see us every day.
