you were enjoying your time/you were just drowsy Explanation: [Colloquial Sudanese] The word is misspelt and it has two possible corrections: His spouse tries to get his attention and he tries to show her that he cares: 1- تنوسي: Did you fall asleep right away or you were just drowsy? تتوسني = تنوسي = A verb derived from the noun "نواسة" (a small lamp) 2- تتونسي: Did you fall asleep right away or you were enjoying your time? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2021-05-24 10:44:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Misspelling: بتتوسني Possible corrections: تنوسي = you were just drowsy تتونسي = you were enjoying your time |

keeping me company Explanation: I suppose there is a typo. The original word could be a derivative of the root آنَسَ زَمِيلَهُ : سَلاَّهُ وَلاَطَفَهُ وَجَعَلَهُ يَشْعُرُ بِالأُنْسِ وَالأُلْفَةِ، أَنَسَهُ which becomes ونس in commoquial Arabic, so your word might be بتنوسني or بتونسني you were keeping me company. Low certainty is due to the possibility that there is a typo or OCR issue if it is a scanned doc and my familiarity with the variety at hand. |
