thanks a lot for your kindness for writing down all the phrases.
The phrases you wrote down are sorani or kurmanji? Or you can use them to all kurdish?
Zor supas. roj bash

The phrases are Sorani.

Hi, Kawe.

It really depends, I am Kurmanji and I was only able to understand all but two words. I am going to assume that the Kurmanji Kurds that live closer to Sorani Kurds will better understand, while lets say a Kurd in Dersim might have a harder time understanding.

I'm sure they''ll be able to understand the majority of the words.

sorry to be such a pain but i have one more word it sounds like 'abba rattan' (all one word) I ve searched online dictionary and my own which i eventually found... thanks for helping everyone and if i can help with any english or grammar please ask
