Questions & Answers about ابني بالمدرسة.

How do I pronounce ابني بالمدرسة in Levantine?

A common Levantine pronunciation is:

ebni bil-madrase

A rough breakdown:

• ابني → ebni = my son
• بالمدرسة → bil-madrase = at the school / at school

A few notes:

• The first word often sounds like ebni, not a very formal ibnī.
• المدرسة in Levantine is usually madrase, not madrasa.
• بـ here is usually pronounced bi- or bil- before ال.

Why is there no word for is in this sentence?

In Levantine Arabic, sentences in the present tense often do not use a separate word for is / am / are.

So:

• ابني بالمدرسة literally looks like my son at-school
• but it naturally means My son is at school

This is very normal in Arabic.
Compare:

• أنا تعبان = I am tired
• هي بالبيت = She is at home
• ابني بالمدرسة = My son is at school

If you want past or future, then other words are used, but in simple present statements, the verb to be is usually left out.
