Hi,

Today I will remind you with some colors names in Arabic.

Words:
Abyad = White
Aswad = Black
Ahmar = Red
Akhdar = Green
Azraq = Blue
Asfar = Yellow
Bortoqaly = Orange

Quiz
1- How can we say “The Sky’s color is blue” in Arabic? – plz use English letters –
2- What is the English Translation of “Laon al bortoqal bortoqaly”

Have a nice day :)

Simeitsa: abyad is used for male things (e.g. kalb abyad = white dog)

Baydaa2 is used for female things (e.g. warda bayda = white rose)

Why is it abyad and not baydaa2? Is it a grammatical issue? What is the rule?

emy: in fact i was planning to use "lawn" but then i thought that ppl will mix the pronunciation of the English version of the same word which means "grass" so i used laon as it is not existing in English and ppl has to pronounce it letter by letter.

Thnax again :)

laon al-sama azraq

coz "al" is used in the meaning of "the", in our example "blue" and not "the blue" so "azraq" and not "al azraq"
