arabic in English - Estes 1

I am following the lesson given by Yusuf Estes.

I am a Malaysian and my first Language is Malay and second is English. I had been learning the Quranic Arabic, but I still consider myself as a beginner.

Let us follow the lesson:



a. Learn the letters - aliff, a straight line

b. It is fun that the sun is straight like a dot on the line.. this happen in the noon -- so the letter nun will come out.

c. Then there is a letter with one dot below...below... start with be .. like the arabic letter of Ba.

d. Three dots.. three... start with th.. Tha

It look like a real fun to learn Arabic... then we can go to segment 2...

categories of words - nouns - isim

In Arabic, the words are categorized into 3 groups:
1 - isim, it is the nouns in English, hoever it is not exactly like the English grammar.
2 - fael, or verbs
3 - haraf -or particles.



من انت؟
'man' is an interrogative pronoun, or domir which can be translated as 'who'.
'anta' is an pronoun means 'you'
in Arabic, there is no verb 'to be'
So the sentence is translated as 'who are you'.


انا نديم٬انا طبيب امريكي
'ana Nadim' I am Nadim
'ana tobibun ameriki' .. tobibun means a doctor and ameriki is american.
Please note that the abjective is after the noun, unlike the English where it is before the noun.
----------------------

من هي٬
"man hiya" man is who, hiya is she, ... in English.."who is she"
---------------------


هي مريم٬
hiya Maryam... she is maryam
----------------------
هي فتاه
hiya fataatun... she is a girl
