learn arabic with maha lesson 9 - About the different jobs

Today we will learn arabic using a new topic.
It is about the names of different jobs, let us listen to MAHA...


Let us view the english translation, I do not write the arabic text as it consume too much of my time to do it...

In arabic the nouns are normally divided into two gender grouping, male and female. The basis group is male and to change it to female we normally at addition letter, the ta ة. However not all word follows that simple rule.

lawyer (male) muhamee

lawyer (female) muhameeyah

doctor (m) tobeeb (f) tobeebah

electrician (m) kahrabe'e (f) kahrabee'ya

actor (m) mumaathil (f) mumathilah

worker (m) a'amil (f) a'amilah

driver (m) saa'q (f) sa'aqah

tailor (m) baae'e (f) baae'eh

engineer (m) muhandis (f) muhandisah

manager (m) mudeer (f) mudeerah

carpenter (m) najjar (f) najjarah

student (m) taaleb (f) taalebah

What make it worst for new learner like me is, the above are only for singular, then there is another words for dual of two of them and another for 3 or more, each come with the gender naming.

Learn Arabic with Maha lesson 3


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

Let us hear from Maha

Learn Arabic from Maha 5

We are learning Arabic with Maha.

Today is about greetings:

The video Link is given below:



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.

learn arabic with Maha lesson 6

Today we are on the lesson number 6.

Video: http://youtu.be/UcQw9p0fVk0

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
- Italy - Weetalia
- Spain - Esbania
- France - Faransa.

There are more in the vidoe, happy watching.
