Hello friends! I am Karim, and with me is my friend Layla.
Welcome everyone! I am Layla, and I am happy today.
Hello Layla! What is that on your white shirt?
Hahaha! That is not my shirt, Karim. That is YOUR shirt!
What? Where? I do not see anything here!
Look carefully. The clothes are dirty, my friend. — الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة
Ah! Hahaha. Yes, this is from the tea this morning.
You do not wash clothes a lot, Karim!
Yes I do! I wash the clothes every week. — أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس
Every week only? Hahaha. I wash the clothes every two days. — أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس
Washing clothes is easy and very fast.
No, this is not easy, Karim. Washing takes time.
Why, Layla? We just put the clothes in the water.
No. We want soap, and water, and sun.
Okay. You are right. We do this together today.
Yes, in Amman the sun is strong. The water goes away quickly.
And in the courtyard of your house there are beautiful plants. The courtyard is a small place outside the house.
We take the clothes out to that place. They become clean and with no water.
This is a simple Arabic conversation for beginners.
Today we learn six useful phrases at home.
The first phrase is: أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس.
And the second phrase is: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة.
And the third is: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
And the fourth is: ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا.
And the fifth is: هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟
And the sixth is: أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس.
These phrases are easy, and we use them at home.
In a little while we hear a demonstration story about Salma.
Salma washes the clothes in her house in Amman.
Come with us. The story is near and clear.
We now begin the story section. This is a demonstration story.
I love this story! My aunt has a room like this in Amman.
Yes. The laundry room is the room where we wash the clothes.
Imagine Saturday morning. The light is strong and beautiful.
Salma was in the laundry room on Saturday morning.
The wall is made of white stone. From the window, we see plants outside.
On the table there are many clothes. Salma stood in front of them.
She lifted her white shirt and said: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة!
Oh my! The shirt has old tea on it. Her face is not happy.
I understand her. My white shirt becomes dirty quickly too.
Hahaha. That is why we wash the clothes at home.
Salma took a blue basket. The basket is a box for clothes.
She put the clothes in a big blue basket.
Then she walked around the room. She was looking for something.
She walked around the room and said: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
Soap is important. Without soap, we do not wash well.
She looked at a high place on the wall. This is a small place for things.
She found the lemon soap on a high shelf.
The lemon soap is good. We like lemon. It is a lovely thing.
Salma opened the door of the washing machine. The washing machine is a machine that washes clothes.
She put the clothes in the washing machine with the water.
Then she added the soap. But she added far too much!
A lot of white water came out of the machine door!
Oh my! The floor became white. Salma opened her eyes wide.
Hahaha. I did this once too!
Salma laughed and said: This is too much soap!
She turned off the water. Then she washed the floor a little with her hand.
After a while she took the clothes out of the machine. There was a lot of water in them.
But the shirt became cleaner. That is good.
She took the clothes out to the sun among the plants.
In the courtyard the sun was strong. The plants were green beside the stone.
After a while, the shirt became clean and beautiful.
Salma was happy. The day became good after the work.
I love the end of this story. The clothes are clean in the sun.
Now we explain the six phrases slowly.
Come, let us learn how to say these things at home.
We now arrive at the key phrases section.
I will start. In the morning I say: أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس.
The phrase “أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس” means “I wash the clothes.”
In English, “أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس” means: I wash the clothes.
Example: Today I wash the clothes at home. — أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس
Hahaha. You need this example, Karim!
True. My shirt drinks tea every morning.
I look at your shirt and say: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة.
Dirty means not clean. There is tea or food on the clothes.
In English, “الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة” means: The clothes are dirty.
When I see my shirt, I say: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة.
Hahaha. Your shirt loves tea a lot!
And I look every day and say: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
This is a short question. We look for the soap in the room.
In English, “أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟” means: Where is the soap?
Example: Where is the soap, Karim? I do not see it.
Hahaha. I put it in a new place every time.
That is why we ask: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
After the soap, you say to me: ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا.
We say this to a friend in the house. We want the clothes in one place.
In English, “ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا” means: Put the clothes here.
Example: Put the clothes here, beside the water. — ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا
Okay. I put them in the basket or in the machine.
After the work, I ask you: هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟
After washing, we ask this question. We want to see the shirt.
In English, “هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟” means: Are the clothes clean?
Example: Are the clothes clean now, Layla?
If the tea is gone from the shirt, we say: Yes, clean.
Then you say: أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس.
After the water, we take the clothes to a place with light.
In English, “أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس” means: Take the clothes out to the sun.
Example: Take the clothes out to the sun now. — أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس
In Amman this is easy. The sun is strong outside the house.
Now we use the phrases in a short dialogue.
We work together in the house. Come, let us start.
We now begin the practice section, Layla.
You are in my house today. We wash the clothes together.
Okay. I see many clothes on the chair.
The clothes are dirty, Karim! Look at this shirt. — الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة
Hahaha. This is my shirt from this morning. I wash the clothes now. — أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس
Where is the soap? I do not see it on the table. — أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
Wait. I will look in the small box. Ah, it is here!
Put the clothes here, in the basket beside the washing machine. — ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا
Okay. I put the shirt and the pants here.
No, not these pants. The pants are clean. We wash only the dirty clothes.
Okay, you are right. I take the pants out of the basket.
Thank you. Now we add the water and the soap.
Only a little soap! We do not want white water on the floor.
Hahaha, true. Salma taught us this today.
After a while I open the machine. Are the clothes clean? — هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟
Yes! The shirt is beautiful and white now. Take the clothes out to the sun. — أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس
I take them to the courtyard. The plants are on my right, and the sun is strong.
Excellent. After an hour they have no water. This is good.
Good work, Layla. The house became clean.
And your shirt became clean too. There is no tea on it now!
Hahaha. Today I remember: I wash the clothes before tea. — أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس
Now we move to a short quiz.
I am ready. Ask me, Layla.
We now begin the short quiz section, friends.
I listen carefully. I answer after every question.
Question one: You want to wash the shirt. What do you say?
I say clearly: أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس!
A correct answer, Karim! This is the first phrase.
I use it every morning in the house.
Question two: You saw a shirt with tea on it. What do you say?
I say quickly: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة.
Wonderful! Dirty means not clean.
After that I go to the laundry room.
Question three: You look in the room for the soap. What do you say?
I ask in a clear voice: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
Well done! This is a short and useful question.
Without soap, the washing is not good.
Question four: Your friend takes the clothes. What do you say to him?
I say to him: ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا.
An exact answer! The work is easy when everything is in one place.
Yes, beside the water or the machine.
Question five: You opened the machine after washing. What do you ask?
I ask: هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟
Excellent, Karim! We look, then we ask.
If the tea is gone, I am happy.
Question six: The clothes have water in them. What do you say?
I say: أَخْرِجِ الْمَلَابِسَ إِلَى الشَّمْس!
A complete and clear answer. The sun helps us a lot.
In Amman this is the best thing after washing.
Now we arrive at the quick review.
Come, let us review the six phrases together.
We now arrive at the quick and useful review section.
I remember the soap phrase best. I put it away, then I forget it!
Hahaha, true. But we start with the first one, in order.
Okay. We review together from one to six.
The first phrase: أَغْسِلُ الْمَلَابِس.
And the second: الْمَلَابِسُ وَسِخَة.
And the third: أَيْنَ الصَّابُون؟
And the fourth: ضَعِ الْمَلَابِسَ هُنَا.
And the fifth: هَلِ الْمَلَابِسُ نَظِيفَة؟

All these phrases are short and easy.
