Hi everybody,

As requested by Mr. “dpatrick” and other QL friends, this is our continuous series of “the Arabic word of the day”, and since we are trying to learn the most commonly used words which will help us in our daily life let’s learn today some stationery names in Arabic Language:

Kortaseya = Stationery
qlm = Pen
Mestara = Ruler
Ketab = Book
Dafter = Copy-book
Melaf = File

All the comments or queries are always welcome.

Keep smiling!

For my part, I protest. After having learned the Arabic alphabet I could begin to read signs and posters in the streets, and through this I got new words, too. Most of the posters and signs are written in English and Arabic. And a thread "Arabic letter of the Day" won't be too bad an idea.

LP: i guess that learning how to speak the most commonly used and the basic arabic words is more important than learning how to write arabic and the letters, so i don't think that it is a good idea to use arabic letters.

correct me if i am wrong

One letter every day would be easy, I guess.

there are many people who don't know how to read the arabic letters, so that will make the teaching more complicated
