The next conversation is, we are asking question on the age.

Question: How old are you?

Answer : I am seven

In Arabic, the word you changes when you speak to a female or male, however the word I does not.

Question : Kam Omuru ka? or if you speak to a female it will be kam omuru ki?

Answer : Omori sab’a sanat.

Note

The basic word omor becomes omori to show that it is "Mine" ... my age

The Learnings are on the followings:

How to say...:

1. Assalamu alaikum

It consists of three words,

a. assalamu - mean peace from the root word ... salam

b. ala - is a proposition or haraf .. translated as "on". but it can change depending on the context.

c. kum means you all. It is the plural of ka, however it is used even for a singular or man or woman.

The respond is the reverse. ...wa alaikum assalam

meaning ... and on you is the peace..(too)

Background

It is the muslim teaching, when they meet they have say the 'salam' and shake hand. The salam is a form of prayer, when we say our hope that the other will be in peace.

...to continue..

b. marhaban ...and the answer is ah..lan.

c. sabahul alkhair

It consists of two words .. sabahu and khair

sabah... is morning, rather the early morning

khair is good, in arabic the prefix al, means the, so

alkhair -- the good.

One of the thing that baffle a new learner like me is, the last later of the word can change its sound, like the sabah.. it can be sabahu, sabahi or sabaha, depending on the context.

The rule is complex as there are many factors that govern it.

The topic of todays lesson is on the name of different countries. Please take note of the following peculiarities:

1. The name of a country may not be the same as that of the English. There are 2 basic sources of the differences, firstly, the English may be changing the original name of a country, like Singapura was changed to Singapore. Secondly, the Arabs may like to change the name, mainly to suitthe language. Arab does not have the letter 'G'.

2. There is the prefix al on all the countries. It does not mean that it the word "the".

3. Arabic does not have a capital letters like the English.

These are some of the countries mentioned in the video:

- Egypt - misr

- Jordan - al urdun

- Emirates - al imarat

- Japan - al- Yaban

- China - al-seen

- America - Ameerika

- England - Enkiltra
