Dilovan

دڵۆڤان

Say it: dil-OH-vahn

What does it mean?

Dilovan means kind, compassionate, merciful: someone who shows warmth and generosity to others.

Dêya min her tim pir dilovan e û alîkariya her kesî dike.

دایکی من هەمیشە زۆر دڵۆڤانە و یارمەتی هەموو کەسێک دەدات.

My mother is always very kind and helps everyone.

In the app, a right answer is 10 points and keeps your streak going. Tomorrow there is a new word.

Ten minutes a day, in four steps

Every day has the same short path. Each step takes a couple of minutes, and the next one opens as soon as you finish.

  1. The word of the day

    One word in both dialects, how to say it, what it means, and a sentence that uses it.

    Dilovan
  2. Missing letters

    A word from earlier in the week with letters taken out. Put them back from the tiles, in Latin or Arabic script.

  3. Picture of the day

    A picture of something you have learned. Pick its Kurdish name from four.

  4. Your review deck

    Words you have met come back just before you would forget them. Get one right and it waits longer next time.

Kurmancî and Soranî, side by side

Every word comes in both dialects, each in its own script. Choose which one the puzzles use, and switch any time.

Kurmancî, Latin script
