Arabic Learning Thread - 12/04

I am currently looking into a career change and this post helped to see another aspect of the industry. I appreciate your article.

Barbara Hayes

ummm where is the beginners class? lol

please write in Arabic also, it difficult to pronounce written in English

oops soory..spelling mistake, I thought Alhan = Welcome

U said Alhan can be used for "HI", so I had that doubt coz while welcoming guests my boss always uses Alhan

no dear rak, "ahlan" is the correct word, also u can say "hala" for same meaning

I thought Alham = welcome

TB: actually "ahlan" is the reply of "Marhaba = Hi", but also it can be used in the meaning of "Hi" and as a reply to Thanks "you are welcome"

LOL, osama... what to do yaani.. Learning never ends :)

cool eng. I am glad that u added another word to ur dictionary :)

Now I now what Bataqa means. I heard it so many times and to be honest I thought it was a Tagalog words as so many Kabayans use it.

Shukran jazeer ya Usama, jazakallah Kheir ya Akhee ..:)

Thank you for the calrifications :)

RAK: tareekh al inteha = Expiry date

but salaheya = validity

thanx for contributing :)

From the above Tajdeed is a new word for me.

I suppose we have another word for validity, like for date of validity we say: Tareekh al inteha...so is inteha related to validity...correct me if I am wrong :)

TB: Afwan is the word to say when someone tell us "shukran = thank you" and the same word can be used in the meaning of "Excuse me/sorry"

fea: i remember that since last year u commented 2-3 times on my thread, and that shows ur interest for learning the language, and remember that "where there is a will there is a way"

ahlan tinky :) and thank u 4 motivating me to start this thread again

Osama i dnt knw this much Arabic

CL bay: it's not tough especially for u, unless if u forgot arabic and concentrating on ur hindi knowledge ;)

eshdawa, osama !! tough questions today?? .. :)

Thanx Dr. i wish that the "matar" will start soon to wash the "ramly = sandy" weather

fea-sad in depressed mode

:( and it's contagious!! it's the weather maybe?

adding to ossama thread (if i may):

matar = rain

not to be confused with mataaar = airport

Kashsinger:

"Al eqama" not "le eqama"

Fea:

:(

Ans 1- intahat salaheya le eqama.

Ans 2- how many years for renewal
