"Hold" (hosting) (future) in Tunisian Arabic
In Tunisian Arabic, "Hold" (the verb, as in hosting, in the future tense) is written using the Latin script as:
(I) Bech na3mel
(You) Bech ta3mel
(You, plural) Bech ta3mlou
(He) Bech ya3mel
(She) Bech ta3mel
(We) Bech na3mlou
(They) Bech ya3mlou
Using the Arabic script, it is written as:
باش نعمل (I)
باش تعمل (You)
باش تعملوا (You, plural)
باش يعمل (He)
باش تعمل (She)
باش نعملوا (We)
باش يعملوا (They)
(Editor's note: In Tunisian Arabic, Hold, the verb, in the context of hosting, is treated the same as "Do": In both cases, the operative words are (I) Na3mel / نعمل, (You) Ta3mel / تعمل, etc. For more information see the IBL page, "Do" (future) in Tunisian Arabic.)
