Arabic is Deep Language Thank you Anna ♥️
Also in Italian we have many words whose origin is Arabic, like algebra, alcol...Thank you very much for this very interesting and instructive video.
please keep doing the podcasts. they're very useful
I have interesting one, Arabic ”قناة" (qana) - for tube, duct, channel become in English:
1. cane - because of tube like structure.
2. cannon - probably through French.
3. channel - through French "canal".
4. gun - that interesting because it is direct from Arabic, original first letter "q" sounds between "k" (like in cannon) and "g" (in gun) - and English "gun" sounds even more close to Arabic "qana" than French "cannon".
What a nice episode again! The story of your son Jacob 'posting things' was hilarious. I loved the way how you as parents responded to him. I appreciate the way you tell your stories, so naturally and sponteaneous, intertwining new words, it's a joy to listen to it. Thanks!
Thank teacher a bunch
Have a good weekend. 👍
My goodness, your comforting tone put me into into a good mood. A brilliant podcast, Anna, just like your others which are so insightful❣
I appreciate this podcast. I'm a fan of your channel, and they're impressive, but I think they'd be even better if you explained the more tough words used. You do touch on this to some extent, but I think it would be beneficial if you gave it more attention.
Maybe you could add a visual explanation for some difficult words. Explaining too much while talking might disrupt the flow. I did listen to the podcast first and repeated the content with this video, it's really helpful! thank you Anna for providing both the podcast and video!
My academical prospects are broadened because of this wonderful contents!!!!! Thank you so much hahaha😊😊
Many thanks indeed, wonderful presentation, I do appreciate it. Please keep it on!
Thanks, I really appreciate this podcast, it was amazing, thanks a lot. ❤❤❤

Wonderful lesson, thanks Anna
Thank you so much
Hi I'm Abdul basith I like Arabic language
Wooow Anna, you nailed it ❤
Keep it up 💪🏼
Thanks
You are so great Anna! To cheer and encourage you, I will just say something in relation with your last interrogations: You know, these are the kind of '40 minutes' spent in my life that I consider among the most valuable and worthy! You are all but boring ...
I knew quite a few about them but I still learnt '2 or 3 little things' in addition to the immense pleasure of listening to your mellifluous and appeasing voice that I love. It acts on me like a bliss elixir! I like 'crimson' and 'In the court of the King Crimson' as well... ;-) 🎸
Merci infiniment Anna, that was magnificent and engrossing just like all of your amazing podcasts so far! 🙏👌👏👏
Keep them coming! Je t'aime, bisous 😘🌹💞
❤
I'm from Jordan so , many of these words are familiar to me , although I knew most of them , I enjoyed the video ❤
I think I did like algebra in school. In polish we also have these words, algebra, alkohol, algorytm, chemia, zero, magazyn, sofa, szach mat, karawan, maskara, admirał, bazar, eliksir 😊
Thank you Anna ❤
Thank so much for your efforts Anna you are a great teacher and beautiful woman I like your way of speaking
Thank you Anna ♥
Amazing
I loved the "Sofa story"😂 I take my pillow with me too when I travel by car 😊
So funny Anna, I 've enjoyed it a lot!
Interesting video
جميل ❤
Wow super
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ we Love what you do Annnnnna
Great video that emphasises the importance and the heavy weight of Arabic language. British people are cultivated and educated and always looking for authentic facts.
Thank you very much Anna! Where can I take a list of 3000 or 4000 Arabic words that are used in the English language?
I didn´t know that only knew that many Latin words are shared with english language because of Roman Empire, that´s why so many words are similar to portuguese, italian, spanish, french vocabulary.
Love it. Love British accent.
These terms are attributed to scholars such as the algorithms, most of whom were Persians in the Islamic era who used the Arabic language
Love from Libya 🇱🇾
As an Arab person and a bit fluent and most importantly I'm a big follower of Anna and I've already listened this podcast episode a month ago , I can confirm that you did a good job and it surprised me a lot because there are some tiny changes in the pronunciations in some words such as sugar we pronounce it sukkar ..
In Finnish it's sokeri
A couple of mistakes: _Caravan_ is from Persian, and so is _check(mate)_ or _chess._ The latter is the same word that we know from titles like the "Shah of Iran" and it simply means _king,_ the main piece in chess.
Basically, the word 'Caravan' was picked up during the Crusades from Arabic 'qairawan' which was also influenced from the Persian 'karwan', meaning “group of desert travelers”.
The word 'checkmate' is originally the Arabic word 'shah mat' meaning “the king died”, which according to some etymologysts is a misinterpretation of the Persian mat “be astonished” as mata “to die,” mat “he is dead.”
Hi over there! When we say "post" it means tacking something onto a bulletin board, say. We use the verb "to mail" where British English charmingly uses "to post" instead.
I'm trying, racking my brain here, to think of the old-fashioned word my grandmother used instead of "sofa". I will remember it at 4:00 AM. LOL
Settee or coach perhaps?
I knew that a lot of Italian words that start with -al- are likely to Arabic.
👍
Im an ARAB girl and its surprised me 😍
It surprised me, not it's.🙂
❤❤❤
well i hear chemistry in day to day conversation not referring to the science but in film and relationships. even though i dont use this slang version of the word, the circles i traverse in (movie criticism) i hear it daily "those actors were miscast, they had no chemistry".
Indeed serenity! Informally and figuratively, a 'chemistry' or 'alchemy' can also designate a reaction, a kind of physical or spiritual match taken to be instinctual, between two persons.
Can of worm is a North American idiom
If you're first language is arabic it is so easy to master any ather language ❤❤
If your first language is Arabic then it's easy to master any other language
You're means you are, so the right word is your.
🍀
Anna, I miss seeing your face as you speak ☹️
Are you trying to learn Arabic? I'm considering starting a course based on my own principles, devoloped through my own experience in learning two languages. Are you interested?
For the record the pure Arabic is always a source for all languages but not vice versa . You should Google why ?
For example, in Quran, the word 'Salat' means to have a prayer and turn your heart to the Creator, and in your language the word 'salute' means 'greeting'. ( I am not an Arab, I am a Turk). Also In our language, the word 'selam' means greeting just like that of Arabic because a lot of words comes from Arabic. In old Turkish, it is called ' Esenle'. Finally, Selam, salute, salat and esenle are nearly the same thing. As you know, Arabic, Turkish and Hebrew are one of the oldest languages, but I respect to all languages spoken by other people all over the world
Salaam means peace actually.
@@a.r.4707 of course, you are right
you forgot one of the important words of arabic origin .which is " coffee " :)
Portuguese has about 800 even though they say It has 1k. Nothing that shatters the latin beauty.❤
Do you know that Ann or Anna has Arabic origin
According to my sources Anna is the Latin form of the Greek: Ἄννα and the Hebrew name Hannah (Hebrew: חַנָּה, romanized: Hannāh), meaning "favour" or "grace" or "beautiful".
I am definitely not bored as long as I am listening to your extraordinary podcast ..in contrast I am🎉 super joyed
Sofa is British and couch is American
Beautifull woman 😊
Thanks for this awesome work, you're such a great English teacher. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts. 🤍
My mother tongue is Arabic and I think you are right we already have these words in literature...
Regards 💐
So, you’ve been to İstanbul before, haven’t you?
Elixir is originally greek ixir, before arabs Translated it to Elixir then moved to Europe
Thank you Alya. Yes, the etymology of words can be quite tricky. I seems indeed that it comes from Medieval Latin elixir, itself coming from Arabic اَلْإِكْسِير (al-ʔiksīr), the latter from Ancient Greek ξηρίον (xēríon, “medicinal powder”), from ξηρός (xērós, “dry”)
Arabic language is the basic tongue from which all the other languages are derived.

In Spanish there are more Arabic words than these. Almost all, if not all words that start with AL- have Arab origin.
I really wonder if there’s any English words originally from Chinese ? 😅
Bazar is a turkish word not arabic.
😢 It's a Persian word
From obsolete English form bazaar or Dutch bazaar, from Middle French bazar or Italian bazar, from Ottoman Turkish بازار (bâzâr), from Persian بازار (bâzâr, “market”) [Middle Persian (wʾčʾl /wāzār/, “market”], from Proto-Indo-European wes- (“to buy”).
Latin language
Dumb Alexa 😂😂😂
Hi be Muslim read about Islam
alcohol
Arabic is the only language thank contains more than 12 million words
Zero belongs to us, it was taken away by Arabs, they called, hindsa.
thousands? no. some? of course. english borrows from every language
Algorithm isn't Arabic it's Greek
Hi Mario, here is the origin if the word according to Merriam- Webster Dictionary: alteration of Middle English algorisme, from Old French & Medieval Latin; Old French, from Medieval Latin algorismus, from Arabic al-khuwārizmi, from al-Khwārizmī flourished a.d. 825 Islamic mathematician
Dear Anne, are you, by any chance, looking 👀 for the elixir of eternal youth? If so, I therefore advise you to take chemistry 🧪 more seriously 😒! Otherwise, your search 🔍 is likely to produce zero results. Indeed, it could become a mere algebraic study 📚. Because, as you already know, you can’t make a silk purse 👜 out of a pig’s ear 👂! Wish you the very best in your field work, and hopefully 🤞 you’re going to be in high cotton from now on.
