Hi, thanks for interesting lesson. I still don't understand the difference between the two boring. Can you give me a few more examples of the noun form and adjective form in a sentence. The noun form is hard for me to understand.

Let me clarify further... We used the adjective and the noun forms of boring in the lesson. As in English the word comes in different forms e.g. bore is a noun (You’re such a bore). Boring is an adjective (A boring time)

We used the following words:
مَلَل – Malal – This is the noun form of boring
مُمِل - Mumel – This is the adjective form of boring

In the dialogue malal was used to describe the lecture. Because it was said like 9araa7ah, malal! صراحة، ملل! We used the noun form as the word came on its own if you like, we could have used the adjective form if we added was e.g.

صراحة كانت مملة – 9araa7ah kaanat mumellah : Notice mumel takes the feminine form because it’s describing the lecture (Mu7aa9’arah) which is also feminine
