Arabic Learning Thread - 19/04
By osamabawab •
Good Morning,
Thursday has arrived finally and it is time to spend time with family so let’s memories the family members names in Arabic:
Words
Waled = Ab = Father
Waleda = Om = Mother
Ebn = Walad = Son
Ebna = Bint = Daughter
Jad = Grand Father
Jadda = Grand Mother
Quiz
1- How can we say “Do you have kids?” in Arabic? – plz use English letters –
2- What is the English Translation of “ana ghair motazaowage”
Have a great weekend :)
It should be meri ek lauti aulad.. means my one and only child (and of course legal heir).
What we hear in Hindi movies / songs is actually a mix of urdu and hindi where urdu is about 60-70%.
You want to learn / hear pure hindi then you should watch mahabharat / ramayan episodes which were aired in the 1980's.
nishant... yea I heard it in Hindi movies.. my ek lautha awlad..:) .. is like the legal heir...:)
ok Thank you Osama..:)
Thanks for the correction osama.
cheru:
tatahawal = converting
Tantaqel = Shifting
Aolaad is Urdu (you find this is most Hindi movies though). In hindi it is called Santaan.
Is it something like this osama
tatahawal ila manzil jadid - shifting to new house?
FS:
in the mixed arabic which she might understand u can tell her: "nahna yaby rooh bayt jadeed ba'ed wahed shahr"
and in proper Arabic u can say
"Nahno sanantakel ela bayt jadeed al shahr al qadem"
Thank you Osama, and the link u provided would be of great help too :)
In hindi also for chidlren we say Awlaad... its so close..still its so difficult to learn..:)
Osama how do you say...
"We are shifting to a new house next month"
my new maid know only arabic and her own language...
All I can think of is.... jadeed Bayt roo...lol
Great..thank you so much Osamabawab.
endak is used for male
endaky is used for female
RAK:
"Hal" is a question tag
"Endak" means "have"
used together means

in fact i requested the admin earlier to open a new group to keep all my posting on it, but unfortunately no reply
Aolaad = boys but locally they say ask do u have any "aolaad" and after the positive reply they will ask again "Bent am saby/walad" = "girl or boy"
Osamabawab thank you so much for these daily words. Is there anyway we can have a digest of all these daily words you are posting ..after a while its get difficult to browse the earlier threads.
Would it be possible to post them all under one place instead of a thread everyday? I dont know if its possible I am just thinking out aloud.
Thank you once again.
Had an idea abt “ana ghair motazaowage” and I was right :)
Aolaad is a commom word in Hindi/Urdu.
Osama, what is hal & endak?
yes cheru, alternatively we can also say
1- hal endak Aolaad?
1. hal ladaik athfal?
2. I am unmarried
Is that correct osama/
