“Monday”, “Mondays” in Lebanese Arabic

In Lebanese Arabic, “Monday” is written using the Latin script as:

2al tanen

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

ألتنين

In Lebanese Arabic, “Mondays” is written using the Latin script as:

Kel tanen

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

كلتانين

(Editor’s note: In Lebanese Arabic, the word Kel / كل which, in English, means Every can be added before Tanen / تانين to emphasis that what is being spoken about occurs every Monday. (For example, See Statement #3 below) With that said, there are times when Kel / كل isn’t used and the way the statement is structured and the words chosen gives the effect of Mondays. For an instance of this, see Statement #5 below.)
