Hi Everyone,

My english is not so well but I have a question.

If I try to translate something into Libanese it is ofcourse unreadable to me.

Who can tell me how to pronounce the Libanese word for "aunt"?

Depends whether you mean your father's sister (3ammet) or your mother's sister (5alet).

So you want to know how to refer to your boyfriend's mother's sister in Lebanese Arabic?

Then it would be 5alet/khãlet.
