You should probably learn how to use the Kurdish-Latin script first so that you can understand the correct pronunciations of these phrases. I'll send you a few links for that.


Here are the translations for the Soranî Dialect:


Hello = Silav (or) Silaw

How are you? = Çonî?

I am good thank you, and how are you? = Bashim, spasit dekem. Tu çonî?

Thanks God you arrived home safely = Spas bo Xuda ke bi bêwey geyishtî.

And here are the Kurmancî translations:


Hello = Silav

How are you? = Tu chawanî?

I am good thank you, and how are you? = Ez bashim, supas, û tu?

Thanks God you arrived home safely? = Supas bo Xuda kû tu: 1)selamet hatî ("you came with good health") or 2) bi selamet gehîshtî mal ("reached home with good health")

Thanks to both of you .

I got the link heval and i am looking at it now, not sure if i ever would understand it but i will try.

Is there a differant way of saying these things to a male or a female? English its the same whoever it is being said to, but i know arabic is differant if its being said to male or female?

Well, I'm sure you'll get it eventually. Practice makes perfect

There is no feminine/masculine distinction in Soranî. However, in Kurmancî, there is a distinction. Although in these above phrases, I don't think it applies, right Kak Dîrî?

You have to learn to thanks in Kurdish :

Spas (sound a bit like Spos), near to Russian, spasiba.

[Fortuna]

Spas , see i am a quick learner lol.

What if i dont put any little hat on top of the letters or the squiggles underneath, does it change the word at all?

My phone sadly isnt kurdish enabled, so would have to write

chawanî .........chawani


kû..........ku

Çonî......Coni

Yes, of course it changes the word. Study the link I gave you
Hopefully whoever you are writing though will understand what you are trying to say without the accents anyways... plus I don't know if the Kurds you are talking to are literate in Kurdish-Latin.

However, for example... Ç is the "ch" sound like in the English word, Champion... and C is the "J" sound like in the English word, Job.

So if you were to write "Çar", it means four. But if you write "Car", it means time

I am studying it, honest . I know when he writes by letter it is simular to the arabic script, which i think means that it is the latin script?

[heval]

Well, for example, if he is using the letter C when writing a word like Car (meaning time), then he is correctly using the Kurdish-Latin script.

But if he is writing the word "Car" like "Jar", then he doesn't know the Kurdish-Latin script and he is just making an attempt to write Kurdish with sounds/letters from the English language

[Fortuna]

Its me again .

How do i say................ I missed you

[Piling]

Bi kirmancî, "ez bîra te dikim" lê bi soranî, nezanim...

[abdur]

Na xwakê, em dibêjin "ez bêrîya te dikim".
