10 vegetables words every toddler learning Syrian Arabic meets first , in real spoken dialect rather than Modern Standard Arabic , each written with a pronunciation so any parent can read aloud.
Frequently asked
How do you say vegetables in Syrian Arabic?
The words a toddler learning Syrian Arabic meets first are carrot (جزرة , jazara), tomato (بندورة , bandora), potato (بطاطا , batata), broccoli (بروكلي , brokli), corn (درة , dura) , with the rest listed above.
Are these Syrian Arabic dialect words or Modern Standard Arabic?
This is spoken Syrian Arabic, closest to the Damascene register, not Modern Standard Arabic. It is the language used at home rather than the formal written form taught in school.
How accurate are these translations?
Every word is cross-checked against Syrian Arabic dictionaries and carries a confidence score, shown on the card whenever it falls below 90%. The books have not been through a full native-speaker editorial review, so if a word looks wrong to you, tell us and we will correct it and send you a free replacement copy.
How can I read these if I do not know the script?
Every word carries a phonetic transliteration in Latin letters, so a parent who never learned to read Arabic script can still read the page aloud correctly. Kipiku was started by a mother who could not read her own children's heritage script, which is why transliteration appears on every word in every book.
