English To Kurdish Phrases

[Piling]

oh you're right. I learned Kurdish in Western Kurdistan and they say their "ê" like "î" it put me often in confusion for spelling it after...

[abdur]

I like their dialect and expressions... "dengê te ji Amûdê tê".

[Fortuna]

Are you guys trying to confuse me? im confused enough already lol

[missIndependent]

Its me again .

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

in soranî:
bîrtem kird --> i missed you

Zor bîrtem kirdûwe -->> i missed you so much

bîrit ekim -->> i miss you

[dyaoko]

MissInd... "I missed you" in sorany is not what you said..

Tasetim kirdge , means I have misssed you

Zor Tasetim Kridge
or
Fire Tasetim Kirdge
means I ahve missed you so much.

what missInd said ... "bîrtem kird" means I thought of you... or I recalled you.. or you are in my mind...

[Fortuna]

in Mehabadi, we dont use "Tase" that often, so what i wrote, is the way sablaxi ppl say it, however it might not sound correct, but that's the way we say it..

Kurmanji “beri krën”, Sorani “bir krdën and tasă krdën”. Bir originally means “memory, mind”, but in “bir krdën” is probably extracted from Kurmanji “beri”. In southern southern Sorani subdialects we have “tasă” which (if Im not mistaken) is derived from Gorani.

1.
Kurmanji : Ăz__beri-ya_____tă ___d-k-ëm
I___ miss-izafă__you__do-verb.root-1th.pron.

Sorani : Mn___tasă-t____dă-k-ăm
I____miss-you__do-verb.root-1thpron.

Mn___tasă-y____ to_____dă-k-ăm *(“bir” could take place instead “tasă”)
I___ miss-izafă__you____do-verb.root-1thpron.


2.
Kurmanji : Mn___________beri-ya___tă_____kr-i-yă
I(past.1th)____miss-izafă__you___past-had-is ( I have missed you)

Sorani : Mn__tasă-t-ëm___ krd-u-wă *(“bir” could take place instead “tasă”)
I__ miss-you-past.1th__past-had-is

Mn__tasă-y____to-m_____krd-u-wă *(“bir” could take place instead “tasă”)
I__miss-izafă__you-past1th__past-had-is (I have missed you)
Note :
1.You see that in Kurmanji sentence we have one pronoun (which is strange, cause the current pronoun “ăz” is disappeared) , but there are two pronouns (-ëm and “mn” which is equall by Kurmanji “ăz”). A mixture of Kurmanji and Sorani could give :

Ăz_____beri-ya___tă-m______kr-i-yă
I___miss-izafă__you-past.1th___past-had-is (I have missed you)

2. Kurmanji “i” equall by Sorani “u” are extracted from “bu” (as its found in several Kurmanji and Krmanjki sucdialects) which itself is derived from “hăbu” (past. of “to have”). We could have :

Ăz____beri-ya_____tă-m________kr-hăbu-ă
I____miss-izafă___you-past.1th__past-had-is (I have missed you)

The above conclusion could be mistaken. But atleast indicates that to reach a Standard Kurdish (containing both Kurmanji and Sorani dialects) is possible. Indeed contributing all Kurdish dialects and achieving Standard Kurdish requires widespread investigations.

thanks for all the info =)
well, Kurdish language is an old language with a wide range of words *even more than the english language i believe* so, i'm not surprised as in how mnay different way and different dialect we can express ourselves and that's the beauty of our language

but just one question sorry if it sounds dumb but i really don't know what Kurdish Alphabet you are using when you're writing in Kurdish im just interested to know *blushes*
