ana inglizee I (am) English
You can ask someone if they are British as follows:
anta bariTanee? (are) you British?
or if you’re speaking to a girl,
anti bariTaniyah? (are) you British?
anti iTaliyah? (are) you Italian?
Reply with yes or no
na3m, ana ingliziyah yes, I’m English
laa, ana faransee! no, I’m French!
laa, ana iskotlandiyah! no, I’m Scottish!
These are two extremely useful words:
