Saying what you do in Algerian Arabic

I go, I eat, I do not understand: the first sentences you can build yourself.

These are short sentences with a verb in them, which is the point at which a learner stops repeating phrases and starts making their own. Every one of them is built the same way: a letter on the front of the verb says who is doing it, and everything else follows.

The negative ones are worth more attention than the positive ones. ما ناكلش بزّاف and ما نفهمش كلّش are the two things a beginner needs to say most often at an Algerian table, and both of them are polite.
