Healthy Habits[edit | edit source]
Now that we've learned basic health vocabulary, let's talk about healthy habits. In Assyrian culture, we value family and community. It is common for families to cook meals together and share food. Eating together promotes a sense of togetherness and strengthens relationships. It is also important to stay active and exercise regularly. Assyrian dance, specifically the "Kawleeya" dance, is a fun way to get moving and stay active.
Here are some vocabulary words related to healthy habits:
| Assyrian Neo-Aramaic | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ܪܡܝܐ | rmayā | Sports |
| ܠܦܐ ܪܝܫܬܐ | lappā ryštā | Healthy food |
| ܒܝ ܬܫܘܝܐ | by tšuyā | Drink water |
| ܥܪܬܐ | ʿrtā | Exercise |
| ܪܛܝܬܐ ܝܠ DVD | rtītā yil DVD | Exercise DVD |
| ܩܪܝܝܢܐ | qryynā | Yoga |
| ܠܗܘܢܬܐ ܠܣܡܪܝܢ | lhōntā lsamryn | Daily routine |
| ܝܢ ܚܡܐ ܝܥܪܬܐ | yin ḥmā yʿrtā | Do yoga |
Now let's create a dialogue between two friends talking about healthy habits:
- Person 1: ܡܕܠ ܟܬܒܘܢܝܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝܘܬ ܐܠܐ ܫܘܪܒܢܐ ܐܢܐ?
(Did you get your annual physical checkup or not this year?)
- Person 2: نيه خرديېعې، ئەوە بۆشە ئەنجام بدەن: ەيات بەجەستەی لتە زانست، وە خەڵكوری زامێرەکانمان دەخرێنە، وگرنا بەس درێبەن چکاوی شارستان شی ههه.
(Not yet, we should: go to a checkup, eat healthy foods, and take walks with our friends, otherwise we'll end up in the city hospital haha)
