1 أنا عطشان جداً
فرشة اسنان 2
رائحة لذيذة 3
قليل من الملح
أنا على السفر
ليس معي طعام ولا ماء
!طبعاً لا
كم أنت لطيفة
!لا! لا تأكل هذه
سأغسلهم فوراً
أنا جاهز
أهلاً بك في أي وقت
أنا جائعة
!العشاء جاهز
كل أكلاتي المفضلة
عندي فكرة
عصير منغو
من الأدب ال تخلع معطفك عندما تكلي
a) A little bit of salt
b) You're welcome any time
c) I'm very thirsty
All my favourite foods
I don't have anything to eat or drink
No! Don't eat those!
I'll wash them right away
I've got an idea
A toothbrush
Mango juice
How nice you are
Dinner's ready!
A delicious smell
I'm on the road
Of course not!
It's polite to take off your coat when you're eating
I'm ready
I'm hungry!
