If you\u2019re one of the over ten million people who, like me, suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons, it\u2019s that time of the year when you may be feeling a little more down than you do in those happy-go-lucky days of summer. However, I have some good news for you because today we’re going to try to have one big, happy pity party for each other by starting to learn basic Arabic words you can use when you\u2019re feeling a little bit down in the dumps. So, don\u2019t worry, be happy and let\u2019s get this (pity) party started, shall we? (And, hey, it\u2019s you\u2019re party so you can cry if you want to).<\/p>\n
With the days being a lot shorter at this time of year, maybe you feel like you\u2019re \u0645\u062a\u0636\u0627\u064a\u0642 \/ mitdhaayi\u02bc <\/em>(upset) <\/strong>and start \u064a\u0639\u064a\u0637 \/ y\u02bbayyiT <\/em>(to cry)<\/strong>.

You\u2019re sure your parents will say \u201c! \u0647\u0648 \u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0641\u0627\u0634\u0644\u201c \/ huwa Taalib faashil <\/em>!\u201d (He\u2019s a failed student!)<\/strong> and be \u0645\u062d\u0628\u0637 \/ muHbaT <\/em>(disappointed)<\/strong> because they want you to be an engineer.

So your friend sees you and asks, \u201c\u0628\u062a\u0639\u064a\u0637 \u0644\u064a\u0647\u061f\u201c \/ \u201cbit\u02bbayyiT leeh<\/em>?\u201d (“Why are you crying?”)<\/strong>
You answer, “\u0627\u0646\u0627 \u062c\u062f\u0627 \u0645\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0621.” \/ \u02bcana jidaan mustaa\u02bc<\/em> (“I’m very upset.”)<\/strong>.

\u2018<\/em> \u0644\u0627 \u0623\u062f\u0631\u064a\u060c \u0644\u0627 \u0623\u0639\u0631\u0641\u201d \/ \u201claa \u02bcadree, laa \u02bca\u02bbrifu.<\/em>” (\u201cI don’t know.\u201d)<\/strong>, you reply.
Your friend responds with: \u201c\u0645\u0627 \u062a\u0632\u0639\u0644\u0634\u060c \u0643\u0644\u0647 \u0647\u064a\u0628\u0642\u0649 \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645.\u201d\/ \u201cmaa tiz\u02bbalsh, kulluh hayib\u02bcaa tamaam.\u201d (\u201cDon\u2019t be sad. Everything is going to be okay.\u201d).
<\/strong>And you know what? Everything really is going to be okay.
<\/strong>Everybody gets \u0632\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0646 \/za\u02bblaan (sad) <\/strong>once in a while. Maybe you feel \u0632\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0646 \/ za\u02bblaan <\/strong>because you feel \u0648\u062d\u064a\u062f \/ waHeed (lonely).
<\/strong>Or you have feelings for someone but don\u2019t want to tell them because you\u2019re afraid \u0647\u062a\u062a\u0639\u0648\u0631 \/ hatit\u02bbawwar<\/em> (you\u2019ll get hurt)<\/strong>.<\/p>\nOr…<\/h5>\n
Maybe you\u2019re stuck in learning Arabic. You want to learn to speak Arabic fluently, but you don\u2019t seem to make progress and want to shout \u201c! \u0637\u0647\u0642\u0627\u0646\u201d \/ \u201cTah\u02bcaan!\u201d<\/em> (\u201cI\u2019m through!\u201d).<\/strong>
Most of all you\u2019re probably (bored) with people telling you \u201c!\u0645\u0627 \u062a\u0628\u0642\u0627\u0634 \u0633\u0644\u0628\u064a\u201d \/ maa tb\u02bcaash salbee<\/em>! (\u201cDon\u2019t be negative!\u201d)<\/strong>
Well, I am here to tell you that your friend is, indeed, exactly right.
\u201c\u0645\u0627\u062a\u0632\u0639\u0644\u0634\u060c \u0643\u0644\u0647 \u0647\u064a\u0628\u0642\u0649 \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645.\u201d\/ \u201cmaa tiz\u02bbalsh, kulluh hayib\u02bcaa tamaam<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>
Don\u2019t be sad. Everything is going to be okay.<\/p>\n
