Internet & WiFi

1. پاسوۆردی وایفای چییە؟

   Pasword-î wayfay çîye?

   What's the Wi-Fi password?

   Usage

   Asks for the Wi-Fi password at a shop or hotel

   Grammar Note

   The password can be پاسوۆرد or تێپەڕوشە. The ezafe -ی links the nouns: 'password of Wi-Fi'.

2. لێرە وایفای هەیە؟

   Lêre wayfay heye?

   Is there Wi-Fi here?

   Usage

   Asks whether Wi-Fi is available in a café or hotel

   Grammar Note

   A question keeps the statement word order and is marked by ؟ and intonation. هەیە means 'there is'. Composed from attested words and patterns rather than quoted from a source sentence; worth confirming with a native speaker.

3. هێڵی ئینتەرنێتەکەم خاوە

   Hêł-î înternêtekem xawe

   My internet connection is slow

   Usage

   Tells staff that your internet connection is slow

   Grammar Note

   هێڵ is 'line', so هێڵی ئینتەرنێت is the internet connection. خاو means 'slow' here.

4. ئیمەیل بۆ هاوڕێکەم دەنێرم

   Îmeyl bo hawṟêkem denêrim

   I'm emailing my friend

   Usage

   Says that you are sending an email

   Grammar Note

   Present tense is دە- + stem + -m. 'To someone' is expressed with بۆ before the noun.

5. مۆبایلەکەم ون کرد و نایدۆزمەوە

   Mobaylekem win kird û naydozmewe

   I lost my phone and can't find it

   Usage

   Reports a lost mobile phone

   Grammar Note

   In the transitive past the agent clitic -m sits on the object (مۆبایلەکەم). نا- negates the present.

6. لەکوێ مۆبایلەکەم شەحن بکەمەوە؟

   Lekwê mobaylekem şeḧin bikemewe?

   Where can I charge my phone?

   Usage

   Asks where you can charge your phone

   Grammar Note

   شەحن کردنەوە 'to charge' appears in the subjunctive. The question word لەکوێ opens the sentence. Composed from attested words and patterns rather than quoted from a source sentence; worth confirming with a native speaker.
