Im currently teaching myself arabic but struggling with how to pronounce one particlar word.

Its the word for speak - eg (ignore spelling, this is for explanation purposes only)

Excuse Me, Do you speak English = Afwan, ****** ingleezi minfadluk

The **** is the word i cant pronounce. Its somethng like Bechi, or vtechi but i just cant quite get it.

Can anyone help?

Apparantly the word you are after is "btihky"...having had my friend say it to me...good luck with that!

Trying to get a phonetic spelling from them, BT pronounced together and the rest of the word kind of follows on with the arab 'H'

Hahaha, hope that helps...

EDIT - they prenounce it like 'Bt - i hky'

Doesn't that mean "God is great", or something?

Put some dry ice in a rucksack and then run down a busy street whilst shouting it. See how far you get!
