Thanks!

[jencoates1986]

Awesome! I would say Ba has it Below because Ba Below sticks in the mind better :) I just started watching these videos, and they are awesome!

[beijingbro]

i am watching the last part of the video here and all i can think of is that old van halen song "hot for teacher".... nice!

[xistoxs]

Thanks for the auxiliary line observation

[ericxplosion08]

Thank you so much for your help! You are truly amazing!

[Aoifxxx]

[claudiusofrome]

Thanks for sharing.

[SweetSiryn]

Shukran ktir for these lessons Maha! :D

[acciu88]

il sogno di una vita!!! e mi stai aiutando non ci posso credere!!! ho chiesto in giro di corsi di arabo ma vivo in un paesino ed è praticamente impossibile..ti ho scoperta stasera al tg1, non smetterò mai di ringraziarti!!!

[Yaiyasmin]

Thanks! I just discovered your videos and I'm gonna watch them all to learn to read and write arabic properly!

[riddler820]

@Yaiyasmin You interested in learning Arabic ?? ... lol

[Yaiyasmin]

@riddler820 I already know how to read urdu, not perfectly but ok. Arabic is a little different, more difficult I think.

[riddler820]

@Yaiyasmin تم نے کب اردو پڑھنا سیکھی ؟؟؟ صرف پڑھ سکتی ہو یا لکھنا بھی آتی ہے ؟؟

;-P ... now read lol

[Yaiyasmin]

@riddler820 Tum ne kab urdu prhna sekhi??? Sirf prhskti hu ya akhna bhi ati he??

What I get from it is something like: You when urdu.... (I'm guessing "When did you learn urdu"? Don't know what prhna sekhi means). Then: Sirf=only... ya=or ... bhi=also...?

Common sense tells me it should mean something like "Only understand or speak also? or Only read or understand also? haha something like it. I read ok, understand very little, speak almost nothing.

Now feedback pls so i know how I did! ;)

[riddler820]

@Yaiyasmin Ok... you did fine ;) ( if you are not taking any help from someone ) :P It was actually " When did you learn to read Urdu ? Can you read only or you also know how to write ? " .... parhna-پڑھنا means read, seekhi-سیکھی means to learn and it's likhna- لکھنا i.e. to write not 'akhna' .... ( you can use the google indic transliteration tool for more help ). Urdu is written in Perso-Arabic script ... people in Pakistan have also started to write Romanized Urdu :(

[Yaiyasmin]

@riddler820 No I didn't use any help, just my wickid skills :P Aha ok yeah it just occurred to me now that alif doesn't connect with the k so yeah it makes sense it has to be lk and not ak. The main problem is the vowels since in urdu they're often not written, so if I don't already know the word I just have to guess which vowel, like "prhna".

[riddler820]

@Yaiyasmin Hmm... about the vowel issue, in urdu Alif ' ا ' is added to show a vowel sound e.g. Umbrella ( امبریللہ) , Indigo ( انڈیگو ) , Elephant ( ا یلے فنٹ ) , Appeal ( اپیل ), Orange ( اورنج )........ Now though Europe starts with an 'E' but it doesn't give a vowel sound so in Urdu it's written without an 'Alif"..Europe - یورپ

You said you read ok, understand very little, speak almost nothing .... I suppose you can try to speak in Urdu with your Dad ... his Urdu is good enough !

[princevqas]
