Lower Intermediate - Rainbow clothes

You've been making your recent lessons very funny/silly. Keep up the good work, haha.

في المناسبة --لكل-- بإمكاتكم استخدام عبارة " لا تقلق" تناوبا

You can also use "la taqlaq" as an alternative to "la tahtam".

السلام عليكم

لابد=ربما.are these two words have the same meening.I heared them,but I didn't know how to use them.Thank you very much for this lesson,I know where to useلابد.
.هل يمكن أن أقول لابد لم يأتي او ربما لم يأتي
شكرا حيكم الله

Afreeqiya and jamil;
Shokran for your comments.
Jamil, the meaning of (لا بد) is (it must be) or (definitely), while (ربما) means maybe.. so you could see the meaning is completely different.
By the way, (لا بد) always needs to be followed by (أن or من), therefore remember it as (لا بد أن) to get use to it.
Salam

Thank Ehab
Then,I can use this word to give order to somebody to do something:example,لابد ان تكتب درسك.I would like to say;you must write your lesson.

Yes Jamil,
You can say لابد ان تكتب درسك for a male, but if you are talking to a female, then say: لابد ان تكتبي درسك

Hi Guys,
The lesson is excellent!
One thing, the color chart has a mistake.. Where it says 'yellow' it's blue...

Thanks sf94133 for letting us know. This has been fixed now..

hello Ehab!

من فضلكم أريد ان أعرف معني كلمة <ماذاك<
شكرا.I would like to know the meaning of "madhaa ka"Thank you.

Thank you so much!, Excellent Lesson!

Jamil;
The word "ماذاك" has the same meaning that "ماذا" has which is (what), but you say it for something is happening far a away from you. Let me explain the concept behind this:
The actual meaning of (What) in Arabic is only (ما), but you see normally (ماذا) which is two which is (ما) and (ذا), where (ما) means (what) and (ذا) means (this).. on the other hand, (ذاك) means (that), you know what is the difference between this and that in English.
So, general speaking, in Arabic, (ما) that means (what) always needs (ism isharah) such as (ذاك), (ذا) or (تلك) and so on, to follow it IF what comes after it is verb, i.e. we say (ما اسمك) without ism isharah because the word (اسم) is noun. but we say (ماذا حصل) that means (what happened) and the word (happened) is verb.
Hope that clarify the general concept behind this.. Keep it up Jamil and good luck
Salaam

The word بنطلون, is it singular?

It sounds like plural because of the و and ن.

In English the word 'trousers' is plural, for example:
What colour ARE your trousers?
THEY ARE red.

How about in Arabic? Is it singular so بنطلون would be referrred to as howa and lawnuhu?

They use pretty much the same word for trousers in both Spanish (pantalones) and French (pantalon), is it a new word in Arabic?
I have also heard the word سراول used for trousers. Is this widely used or is بنطلون more common?

What about حذاء? Plural or singluar?

Nice lesson, thanks.
By the way, how do you say "Rainbow" in arabic ?

@gwenmartineau, rainbow in Arabic is

قوس قزح
Qaws quza7

Thanks!

I love the tinkling musical notes at the end of the dialogue...a nice funny detail! :lol:
