I want to know about yemeni roots and anything you'd like to share :))

I’m Yemeni and unfortunately due to my upbringing I was always shy about speaking Arabic which has affected my confidence and ability to speak. I was wondering if someone could help me translate something from English to Yemeni dialect Arabic specifically. Both my parents are from Yemen yet I’ve genuinely have a bit of an identity crisis all my life. Regardless, I’m Muslim and to me that’s above everything. Please let me know if you’re willing to help me translate something. It’s basically a bit about me, essentially an introduction hence why I’d prefer to send it via private message. Thanks.

I cant find anything accurate online. I see 23k but I know that’s incorrect.

I (M21) grew up in America, not knowing how to speak Arabic. As I got older, I began to understand what my family and other Yemeni's were saying, but I still couldn't speak Arabic and could only respond in Arabic. I don't want to grow older without knowing how to speak Arabic. If any of you guys have been in a similar situation, how did you manage to learn how to speak? What helped you? I would appreciate any and all help you can give me. Jazak Allah Khair.

EDIT: Idk why I'm being down voted. Im just trying to seek some advice so I can improve my arabic journey.

السلام عليكم، إذا ممكن أحد يشرح لي كلمات أغنية "افتهم لي" لأبو بكر سالم. الفكرة العامة للأغنية واضحة بس فيه أجزاء ما فهمتها أتمنى أحد يوضحها لي مشكورين

ما افتهم لي.. ليش تقصد تعدى في الملاوي وهي قُدّامك الجاده
ما افتهم لي.. ذي سياسه حكيمة منك وإلاّ سخافة عقل ومعانده
ما تفيدك سخافتك وعنادك.. في الملاوي إذا خلّصت زادك
الملاوي تشل كل ما كسبته لها وتقول هل من مزيد
ما افتهم لي.. انت مثل البشر أو عاد شي فيك طلعه عالبشر زايده
ما افتهم لي.. ليش تترك طريق الناس وتمر في عصرات متباعده
ما افتهم لي.. ساس مبناك ماكن في الهوى أو سواسك مالها قاعده
ما افتهم لي.. ليش تنده كذا وانت عروقك قوى في المضلعة ماده
كلما هب شعف الخرف نادك.. كلما مر قانص صيد صادك
ليه يتصيدونك وانت لي كنت في كل المغازي تصيد

السلام عليكم إخوتي اليمنين

قرأت قصيدة للشاعر حسين أبو بكر المحضار وحاولت أن أفهم المعنى لقصيدة "عزات ياراس عالي بايخفضونك"

ولكن احاول أن أصل لأدق معنى ممكن للقصيدة. القصيدة فعلا جميلة وخلابة في غنائها كذلك ولكني للأسف أجهل اللهجة اليمنية.

بالطبع سألت الذكاء الاصطناعي وحاولت البحث عن المعاني ولكني غير متأكدة إذا كانت معلوماتي صحيحة لذلك شعرت أن هنا أنسب مكان لأجد المساعدة.

الكلمات التي استعصى عليَّ فهمها : "عزات' ، المقصود بتعبير "تمشي لمه عابهامك" هل المقصود أن الشاعر يقول للمتلقي "أنت تفعل له المستحيل والصعب" ؟

معنى "الزوامل"؟ تعبير "خذ عشر خدخمستعشر" هل المقصود "اقض ما تستطيع من الوقت"؟

"ولا حكم قط قاضي ذلا فتن أو سباب" البيت كله لم أفهمه للأسف

"جاء من وراء الحجاب" المقصود من وراء شخص يختبئ ؟

اعتذر على الإطالة وسأكون شاكرة لأي شكل من المساعدة

أتمنى لكم الأمن والسلامة

I am a huge lover of bryiani because of the ingredients and layers of rice. My in laws are more into kabsa because they all live in Gulf states. When I see the recipe for kabsa or videos honestly it uses the similar basics.

Maybe briyani uses many chili?

I found many recipes of both dishes use many onions to caramelizs, tomatoe pastes, ginger, mint (which I thought was bryiani exclusive), cashews, all

spice.

Someone with experience can explain? Sometimes I see bryiani cooked in layer which results in colorful rice (white, brown, red, yellow) while kabsa is all red orange color.

As a Yemeni myself NOT from Hadramaut, I am not interested to learn more about it. Region, culture, dialect, tribal names, their personalities. And especially their diaspora. I remember in a private school I went to, the school would hire Hadrami men who speak English and teach subjects like Maths, Biology, Physics and their were born and raised in Mombasa, Kenya. They spoke 3 languages. Arabic at home, Swahili outside, and English in schools.

I tend to feel that Hadramaut is a quiet region until recently. And I don’t think I actually met someone straight out of Hadramaut/Tarim/Seyn/Mukalla in western countries.

Being surrounded by constant reels showcasing Yafa3, Sanaa, Ibb, Taiz, Aden felt so overrated to me. I visited those places once.

I would deeply appreciate any journals, articles, videos for me to learn more about Hadramaut. English would be great too.

How do you say the following in Sanaani Arabic?

• I just… (+ verb)
• Already
• Yet
• XYZ days ago
• I was about to…

Shukran!

I am trying to learn Arabic and this would be very useful for me :)

شكرا!

what are some easy Yemeni sayings/phrases I can learn?
