52 | From MSA to CA: A Beginner’s guide for transitioning into Colloquial Arabic هُدى ِ يا ِ معاكي ِ ّ نا رَب ِ: محمود محمود ِ يا ِ ومعاك ِ: هدى تنس؟ … ِ نلْعَب ِ تحب ِ: محمود يلا! How to form the future tense: In MSA, there are two ways to form the future, by adding َِ س as a prefix or the word َِ سَوْف , both before the present tense. For example النادي ِ في ِ ألعب . I play in the (sporting) club. الناد ِ في ِ سألعب .ي I will play in the (sporting) club. In CA, the equivalent of س is the letter ه or ح . ح النادي ِ في ِ العب . I will play in the (sporting) club. ه ِ في ِ العب النادي . I will play in the (sporting) club.
