A job is a noun. For a woman, most jobs add ุฉ at the end: ุทูุจููุจ becomes ุทูุจููุจูุฉ, and ู ูููููุฏูุณ becomes ู ูููููุฏูุณูุฉ. You know this already from ู ูุนููููู and ู ูุนููููู ูุฉ. To say your job, put it after ุฃูููุง: ุฃูููุง ู ูููููุฏูุณ, โI am an engineerโ. There is no word for โamโ. To say where you work, use ููู: ุฃูุนูู ูู ููู ู ูููุชูุจ.
Tariq and Yusuf ask each other about their work. ู ูุง ุนูู ููููุ means โwhat is your job?โ.
Salmaโs job, and my fatherโs job. Read each line before you listen.
An office: ู ูููุชูุจ.
