Gulf Arabic Grammar - Personal Pronouns

learn arabic Dubaiana – I
Ex.: ana bardaan – I am cold. (Don’t laugh! Outside temperatures in the Gulf countries can go well over 40 degrees Celsius range, but chances are you’ll spend a lot of time indoors in an air-conditioned premise that may well be too cold to be called cool.)

inta – you (masculine)
Ex.: inta bi-‘7ayr? - Are you fine?

inti – you (feminine, that is when addressing a woman)
Ex.: inti s-sikirtiira, muu chidhii? - You (fem.) are the secretary, right? (In most situations in the Gulf, a man is NOT supposed to initiate conversation with a woman.)

huwa – he (in fast speech cut to “hu” , sometimes you can hear 'uhu' or 'huwwa')
huwa r-ra’is. – He is the director/president.

hiya – she (in fast speech “hi”, "hee")
hiya r-ra’isa. - She is the director/president. (As you see the verb ‘to be’ is not used in the present tense in Arabic. You say, literally, “He the president”, “She the secretary” meaning “He is the president”, “She is the secretary.”

e7na – we (variants: ni7in, ni7na)
e7na 3ummaal. – We are workers.

intu – you (plural) (variant: intaw, notably in Bahrain)
