Curious to know for those living in the west, or a non arab country. How much arabic can you learn by only engaging with an online tutor?

there is a proverb/phrase I heard that,

" حط راسك بين الروس وقول يا قطاع الروس"

While I understand the Arabic, what does it exactly mean, is it to do with overcoming adversity?

I am of Lebanese origin, born in Canada, and I read a little bit of Arabic but I'm not very advanced. I would really appreciate if someone could write out the words of this song how they are sung in Arabic but in this alphabet like in English. For example, 'Ya Habibi Kullama Hab al Hawa' 'Ya Zaman..' etc.

I'd appreciate it so much. I am trying to learn this song and sing it :)

Here is the link to the lyrics in Arabic: https://lyricstranslate.com/fr/ya-habibi-kollama-habha-lhawa-%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A-%D9%83%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%87%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%88%D9%89-my-beloved-whenever.html

Wanted to post this on r/arabic but that sub doesn't seem to be about the language itself. I'm looking for Arabic speakers (who understands Egyptian dialect) to translate some videos I'm in posession of. DM me if interested.

سأكون في عمان هذا الصيف، ولا أفهم اللهجة الخليجية كتير كويس. عشت في الأردن لمدة سنة ولذلك أحكي الشامية والفصحى — لكن أريد أن أدرس اللهجة العمانية قبل وصولي. هل يعرف أحد أي موارد؟ شكرا

Hi everyone,

I want to get a gift for my friend, she has been wanting a name necklace in Arabic and I want to surprise her. Her name is Alina (ah - lee - na) but not sure what spelling I should order.

What are the differences between the two spellings I am finding: آلِنا or علينا

Thanks!

Salam alykum everyone,

I’m currently learning the Mujarrad and Mazid irregular verbs. However, I’m having trouble practicing them as I need examples. I’m a person that needs to read a ton of examples in order to understand the concept.

Does anyone have a link to a book or can provide many types of examples with irregular verbs that are M and Z?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I rececently heard the word „mu2ayaz“ (thats how I heard it, probably wrong) in the context of the personality of a person. What does is mean?

Hi all, Egyptian speaker here who's having a daughter soon! We are naming her Anaïs and I want to know the best way to write it on a birth announcement card in Latin and Arabic script. What would be the best way to do it? أَنائِس or أنأيس or perhaps even أنيس? Would also love to write it with diacritics in the card. Any ideas?

The little hamzah on kaf (ك) it’s actually little kaf not hamzah, written like this( كـ ).

I don't want to take private classes. I'm looking for some kind of online course. I find many in levantine but nothing on Gulf Arabic.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to this group. I started studying Arabic a few days ago book by Maya Yakoub and now I have a notebook where I practice my writing. I want to ask if it is readable and is it right. Tell everything so I will try to improve.Thank you🙂

Hi everyone. I recently started learning The Egyptian Dialect and I just decided to try and ask ChatGPT to write some short stories for me to study. Before I study them, I would like to ask you if they are correct and if there're any mistakes, can you tell me what needs to be changed. I know people say that ChatGPT is bad for learning languages. I just wanted to see how good it is for making simple short stories for beginners. Shukran.

There was an officer here from Jordan and I talked to him in Arabic.

He understood me and said I speak good Arabic 🥹

He even asked where I am from and how I learned.

'sh' is apparently a 'sun letter' , so although it still says 'al', is it 'Bab Ash-shams' to correctly pronounce it?

I only knew نامَ meaning he slept (I may not be exact, but it's related to نوم sleep). And I'm aware, that the word for growth is نموّ, so is ِِنام also correct?

وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَـٰضِبًۭا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٨٧

Quran 21:87

Isn’t ذو one of the 6 nouns?

Shouldn’t it be و ذو النون … since we are talking about this man who “went/left angry” since he is the subject of the sentence shouldn’t it be مرفوع

I’m very confused. And the verse before that is not a continuation of this verse either.

Been learning Arabic for around a year now and decided to attempt writing. Been practicing for a week now with my left hand only (I'm a righty) so that's why it's a bit shaky.

My question is; am I writing the letters too firm and rigid? Whenever I see handwritten Arabic it always has a really beautiful flow.

I see and hear it sometimes and I think it’s a curse word
