Want to learn some ancient Egyptian? Below you will find a basic dictionary of basic ancient Egyptian words picked up from multiple sources. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of these translations because they come from several different sources, some words translated from coptic. These words are based on a number of different sources, including translations of the Book of the Dead. The spelling of the words is inaccurate and works as a guide to how the actual words were pronounced, as ancient Egyptians wrote sounds instead of letters. For example. The word Netjeret (goddess), is written as 'n tj r t', but most likely pronounced 'netjeret', or 'netsheret'.

But the general idea would be to put Nouns before Possessive Pronouns and Verbs. Example "You will triumph, your majesty!" would be changed to "Ek Em-etj tu ma'achiru" (You majesty your triumph). The ancient Egyptians would also skip unnecessary words, which is seen here as "will" is missing from the sentence entirely. "Triumph" in itself speaks for what will happen. Another example could be the phrase "Em hotep" Which is a greeting phrase that translates into "go in peace" or "peace be with you". However, literally it translates into "Go (with you) Peace".
