Sureth pantry vocabulary: rice, chickpeas, and salt

A pantry gives you a familiar setting for reviewing concrete nouns. Read broad labels such as vegetables as category words, not as the name of every individual ingredient.

Your vocabulary set

Read each English meaning alongside the Syriac spelling and phonetic guide. Open an entry to copy the text or explore related words.

Try it in context

Match the entries with items you already have. Make a separate question list for ingredient names that are not included in this set.

Make this set memorable

Choose the entry you are least confident about and write down its English meaning. Look away, try recalling its phonetic guide, and then check the original entry. Repeat with a second word from this set. Review the same words tomorrow before adding a new topic.

These are individual dictionary entries. Their forms and natural use can depend on dialect and grammar; combining them does not automatically produce a correct sentence. Ask a willing speaker about the words in this particular situation.
