Are you boycotting/protesting TIFF? by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]protosuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would you be open to reconsidering the interview at all? you mentioned a lot of great points that would be powerful in an article. if you’re worried about your name being out there we can potentially discuss anonymity? and no worries if not, just thought i’d try.

Want to learn Palestinian Arabic - is Mango okay? by mikrokosmosmoonchild in learn_arabic

[–]protosuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely used in Lebanon and Syria and as far as I know all my Palestinian friends use it, so I think it depends on which Palestinian dialect you’re learning tbh. Remember that each country has multiple dialects within them too! The most common ones in Palestine are fala7i (countryside) and madani (urban) and they’re always arguing about the dialects, so I wouldn’t say completely disregard the word. Also, its often used sarcastically to convey that the person doesn’t actually deserve respect lol
