All dialects: to have a miscarriage

[elroy]

How do you say "to have a miscarriage" in your dialect?

In Palestinian: طَرْحَت or رَمَت

 

[momai]

Syrian:

سقّطت (الولد)

 

[Sun-Shine]

In Egypt: أجهضت / سقطت
(على المستوى الشخصي إذا تحدثت بالعربية سأقول أجهضت)

 

[elroy]

In Palestinian, we don't really use أجهضت but if we did, it would mean "she had an abortion" not "she had a miscarriage."

 

[Sun-Shine]

It can mean both (abortion is not common (very rare) so أجهضت for miscarriage is fine unless you explain that she expelled it in it's own.)

سقّطت with shadda means she had an abortion.
without shadda it means she had a miscarriage.

 

[elroy]

Wait, so you would say الست دي سَقْطِت?

 

[Sun-Shine]

سَقَطِت/ سِقطت
to say that she had a miscarriage you say سقطت without shadda.
سقّطِت (rarely) is used for:
انتي سقّطتي الولد ؟الاستنكار
or أنا هسقّطه
"أجهضت" I'm not sure if it's common or not , I and some of my friends say حصل إجهاض.

 

[elroy]

سَقَطِت is surprising because of course it’s the fetus, not the woman, that “falls out.”
