“Fly” (transportation) (future) in Tunisian Arabic

In Tunisian Arabic, “Fly” (the verb, as in transportation by flying, in the future tense) is written using the Latin script as:

(I) Nsefer

(You) Tsefer

(You, plural) Tsefrou

(He) Ysefer

(She) Tsefer

(We) Nsefrou

(They) Ysefrou

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

نسافر (I)

تسافر (You)

تسافروا (You, plural)

يسافر (He)

تسافر (She)

نسافروا (We)

يسافروا (They)

(Editor’s note: In Tunisian Arabic, the translation of transportation by flying is different from the translation of something that is flying (e.g. Like a bird).)
