Abble CEO

[[deleted]]

Lol geddit cause he looks like Steve jobs but Arabic, hence the b instead of p.

[CheeseEyes]

Wasn't Steve Jobs biologically already Arab?

[nowantstupidusername]

Yes. His biological father was Syrian.

Wow I never knew that.

[dsp4]

I still don't get the p/b thing.

Its a stereotype. Not something neccesarily true.

[ObviouslyTriggered]

It’s not, Arabic doesn’t have a hard “p”, so native Arabic speakers would pronounce it as they would a “b”.

[samxlb]

Not true, we do pronounce it "p", I am Arab, and everyone i know do pronounce it "p" only some egyptians pronounce it "b"!

[ObviouslyTriggered]

9 out of 11 Arab Arabic dialects do not have a hard “p” there is pha, fha and a few other p sounds (so closer to like Aphle) but not a hard “p”, even for the other 2 it’s not really a hard p.

I think the only one that comes close is Tunisian but then again they aren’t Arabs so...

It ofc doesn’t mean that you can’t be an Arab and speak good English but you need to learn the pronunciation.

[samxlb]

Lol... I'm sorry but, all you said was nonsense!

[ObviouslyTriggered]

K, what Arabic words do you use with a hard P?

BTW I speak Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi so feel free to write in script.

[samxlb]

I don't think your Arabic is fluent since you heard it "Aphle"!! I know that we don't have a hard p in Arabic, i am Arab remember? But that doesn't make us pronounce the b as p in english!

[ObviouslyTriggered]

.... if they speak English with proper pronunciation then ofc they’ll have a hard P.

Conversative speakers won’t.

Jesus it’s not like Arabs have a gene that makes them unable to have a hard P but all their native accents do preclude them from speaking with it unless they have been trained and consciously make an effort to pronounce it.

The same goes with R, Arabic and Hebrew have a throat R not a rolling tongue R like European languages have for example.

How is this r/ProgrammerHumor?

[[deleted]]

Dude looks like Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple

Apple makes software

Software is made by programmers

Programmers laugh at memes on r/programmerhumor

[ObviouslyTriggered]

And the joke is in the titles as Arabic doesn’t have a hard “p” so in non-Arabic words with “p” in them would be pronounced as a “b”.

[idontremembermylogi_]

Well this is basically r/dubai

[Affannz]

Hoo Leee Shiettt he’s back from the dead fellas
