    This lesson reminded me to hand in my request for holidays from work for Eid which is coming up soon. I hope my office allows me the hols.

    Good lesson. Thanks.

    Hi guys,

    Question about زهق , can it be used regarding people ? Or only things? If so how do you use it, does it require an extra preposition?

    Can I be , زهقت اخي ؟

    شكرًا على مساعدتكم

    Hey tomest05,

    You can use (زهق) for people or for things but you need to add the preposition (من) after it. So you can say (زهقت من أخي) which is (I got bored of my brother), or (زهقت من الحصة) which is (I got bored of the class).

    Hope that answers your question.

    Nice lesson.
    I was wondering why you add the "lam" to the end of باقي
    و ايضا ماذا الفرق بين بقي/باقي/بقيل؟
    (what is the difference between the above three word forms)
    بارك الله فيك

    sus313, since there is no answer, I'll send my guess. Perhaps that "lam" comes from "for it", = لي+ها
    Ma'assalaama
