[Hookah]

Qalaatha = castle(s)

In b'qala ramaa pa ish wa binya baytha, khamara treh qalaatha   bit baneh wa byawma.

If a house could be built by the loudest voice (person), an a_s (add another "s" for the second letter) could build two castles in one day. -- Old Assyrian Proverb

[dlty01]

"Yara" - to dare

Example:  "Leh yarekh hamsimekh basit Patriarcha, oop in awid kha mindy khilta, yan b'shadinnee khakma soorayeh"  :mrgreen:

"We don't dare talk about the Patriarch, even if he does something wrong, or some Assyrians will go crazy".

Although, I have never heard this word used in an "affirmative" sense - in other words, I have only heard it used as "not daring" to do something, not "daring" to do something.  Can someone clarify this?

 

[baklawa]

Example:? "Leh yarekh hamsimekh basit Patriarcha, oop in awid kha mindy khilta, yan b'shadinnee khakma soorayeh"? ?:mrgreen:

Khayin = traitor, Khayeeneh (plural)

Example:  "Hademeh d'gooshmeh Kurdayeh eeneh khayeeneh qa oomta Atoureta."

 

[dlty01]

Khayin = traitor, Khayeeneh (plural)

Example:  "Hademeh d'gooshmeh Kurdayeh eeneh khayeeneh qa oomta Atoureta."

That's a really great fake, completely made up, non-realistic example for a sentence.  You're very creative, B.

Dizhminna = enemy (Singular)

Dizhminneh = enemies (plural)

Atorayeh itlun rabba dizhminneh gu umta'd ganneh.

"Assyrians have many enemies in their own nation."

Okay I will stop I swear. 

 

[dlty01]

Ok ok ok ok I have a real one:

Braqala = echo 
Braqalee = my echo

From Linda George, "Kursi d'Malkoota" about the last Assyrian King = "Shuq min braqalu gu Nineveh la pishleh"

"Only his echo remained in Nineveh".

 

[baklawa]

That's a really great fake, completely made up, non-realistic example for a sentence.? You're very creative, B.

Dizhminna = enemy (Singular)

Dizhminneh = enemies (plural)

Atorayeh itlun rabba dizhminneh gu umta'd ganneh.

"Assyrians have many enemies in their own nation."

Okay I will stop I swear.?

:blink: What? My sentence made sense!

Fine, I'll be good now too :angelnot:

Noora = fire

"Yalee eena noora d'shmaya"

Doesn't really translate into English well -- my kids are the fire of the heavens. ?Suppose to mean they're a handful!
