English to Iraqi Arabic: getting the register right
Iraqi marks the person you talk to more clearly than most dialects. The feminine you ends in -ich (shloonich, weenich) and feminine verbs in -een, so one wrong ending tells the reader you used a machine. Requests have a soft form, allaah ykhalleek (God keep you), that Iraqis attach to almost any favor, and thanks range from shukran to the warm mamnuun, grateful, and 3aashat eedak for someone's work.
Write the context in brackets, (to my wife), (to an older man, polite), and the ending, the verb and the politeness come out together. Leave it out and the model assumes a man, says so under the result, and you can run it again.

Tips for a message that sounds Iraqi
- Short, spoken sentences translate best. Call me when you get home works; Kindly contact me upon arrival comes back formal.
- Name the person: (to my husband) or (to a female colleague) fixes the -ak / -ich ending.
- Keep names and places in English; the name in Arabic page writes them in script if you need that.
- Read the transliteration for ch and g: those two sounds are what make a sentence Iraqi, and the Arabic letters do not show them.
- Compare with the MSA line. For a message to an office or a form, send the MSA line instead.
Google Translate from English to Iraqi Arabic
Google Translate has no Iraqi direction; it returns Modern Standard Arabic, as most general translators do. Where are you? comes back as ayna anta, which no one in Baghdad texts; the Iraqi line is weenak. The result also lacks vowel marks. The Iraqi Arabic translator page has the dialect overview and a longer phrase list; to read the reply you get, use Iraqi Arabic to English, and for formal written Arabic start at English to Arabic.
Frequently asked questions
Does Google Translate do English to Iraqi Arabic?
No. Google returns Modern Standard Arabic only and shows no harakat. This page returns Iraqi with vowel marks and the MSA line next to it.
How do I get the Iraqi feminine form with -ich?
Write (to a woman) after the English. The result uses the -ich ending for you and -een for verbs, and the note under the result confirms the choice.
Is the translation Baghdadi or southern Iraqi?
Baghdadi, the variety Iraqis from every region understand. Southern and Mosul speech differ in a few sounds and words.
Can I hear the Iraqi pronunciation?
Yes, with the Listen button. Most devices ship a Standard Arabic voice, so the words are right and the melody a little formal.
