Very good mrs_dravid, I liked your rhyme.
If I see you, I'll give you a dime :-P -
qalam is really a very beautiful word.
Once upon a time Italian people used to write with the calamaio, but now the timese are changed ...
Very interesting lesson, guys! -
wonderful and really practical way of teaching arabic its amazing.
-
really nice lesson its very useful. I have one question, you said in order to make it feminine you add an ee at the end of the word like the one for forget tansaheee do you do the same with the rest of the words like you finish to a female?
-
its very good lesson thanks guys for helping
-
what does naseet means?
-
@ihtishaam
Do you have the context? i.e. a sentence?
Otherwise, I'd say that naseet means "I forgot" (really it could also be "she forgot"... in fusha you need to make it naseetoo" for the 1st person form). -
@ihtishaam, (naseet) or (naseeto) means (I forgot) just like Jenkki said. However, @Jenkki, (she forgot) means (nasiyat) because the root is really (nasiya-he forgot) and to make it feminine you just add the (t) at the end.

شكرا لكم على هذا الدرس
خدمتكم مفييدة
انا لا أستطيع أن أتعلم الإستخدام المناسبة للكلمات في العامية
: هل هذا القول بنفس الممعنى مما نجد في الدرس
" أن تردّه بعد أن انتهيت منه ..."

Just to add: I wish you guys were around 20 years ago when I lived in the middle east. I still go back there from time to time and I'm sure old faces will wonder how I'm picking up more Arabic in the West !!
Everything from the setup of the lessons to your British-Arabic accents just work amazingly well to make these lessons quite pleasing to hear and most importantly hard to forget. I think I've gone through 20 lessons in a couple of days and I think I remember everything.

@omnafees, it's great that your Arabic is still good. We're lucky to have the technology today that enables us to deliver content in such a fashion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Thanks for a great lesson.
If addressing a female, would you say "3endik" instead of "3endak"? Is the word you use for "when" the same as "lamma"? -
@gwenmartineau, Yes you would use "3endik" when addressing a female.
and yes "lamma" can mean when, but you cannot use it to form a question.
Example:
Lamma teejy
When you come
By the way, these words are colloquial. The classical equivalents are below
3endamaa - When
Ladayka - You have (Addressing a male)
Ladayki - You have (Addressing a female)
Beginner - Return the pen

Oh boy, we have a useful lesson for all of you Arabic lovers today! We're going to teach you how to ask to borrow a pen, and more importantly, you will also learn how to remind someone to return a pen that they have borrowed. We've had enough of pens disappearing in our office, and we're sure you've had your pen nicked before, so let's put an end to this pen-nicking!

And the lesson's so fine!
I just felt I had to
Appraise you with my rhyme.
Stealing pens is a problem
A serious global pain
Now I'm able to fight it
in Arabic language again.
