Salman and Captain America
Learn Arabic as it is really spoken. Listen to and read Egyptian Colloquial Arabic.
Salman, age 7, has a story for us. What was Captain America’s fate?
Hello! l am Salman. l will tell you a story about a Captain America toy. One day, I was playing. My father called me and showed me a toy on the internet. l liked it. And I said to my father, “Dad, would you buy it for me? He said okay. He bought it for me. Then I played with it. After playing with it for a while, I started not to like it, so I gave as a gift to my brother. The end. Is it nice or boring?* Nice! Goodbye!
* The phrase توته توته حلوه ولا ملتوته is a common closing to a children’s story. Salman mispronounced the word maltūta as mamtūta. (ملْتوت is the past participle of the verb لتّ (to knead dough), and ‘kneaded’ figuratively means boring and repetitive (speech).)
