Hello and welcome, I'm back... I've got my board back is what I mean
I'm always back but this time I'm with my board
'I am studying Arabic'
presumably you're studying Arabic, or maybe you're studying English
you know what, because I've got a lot of Arabic listeners, which by the way I love
and viewers should I say, you can learn English and the English people, or the English speaking people
or the French or the German or the Canadians, or the whatever they are
can learn how to say, "I'm studying Arabic'
okay, let's go ahead anyway
I've got a black pen, I need a different colour pen
so...
here it is
okay, we're going to go straight into it
How do we say 'I'?
'I'
that's right:
'ana'... 'ana'... 'ana'... three letters
'I': a... n... a
put a little hamza there
'ana'... 'ana'
and then we need to verb for studying
the verb for studying is 'darasa'
'darasa'
'ana'
you don't say "ana darasa', because when you learn a verb in Arabic, you learn it in it's third person past tense
so you learn the verb darasa, if you learn that verb, it actually means, 'he studied'
'he studied'
'he studied', 'darasa' means 'he studied'
If you want to say, "I am studying', you put an alif in front
'adrus'
so 'ana'
a... du... ru... sa
that's it, 'ana adrus'
'ana adrus', you'll notice none of these are connecting to the one in front
that's a coincidence, mostly Arabic is very fluid, it's very fluent, and it's a beautiful language in that it all joins together
so 'ana adrus'
what do we want to say next, 'I am studying Arabic'
'Arabic', is 'al-3arabiya'
or to be full, 'al-lugha al-3arabiya'
I'm going to write 'al-lugha al-3arabiya', because why not
so...
'al-lugha al-3arabiya'
it's been awhile since i've written actually so my handwriting is not the best but...
you can definitely get the gist of that
you've got, 'al-lugha al-3arabiya'
I hope that's clear
'ana adrus al-lugha al-3arabiya'
'ana adrus al-lugha al-3arabiya' okay, what if you want to say, I'm studying English'
let's try a blue one shall we?
'ana adrus al-lugha al-inglezia'
alif, lam
it's the same word - alif lam
lugha
al
and then you can do two letters here
you can either do a jeem for 'injlezia'
or you can do a gha for inghlezia
so I'm going to do a 'gha'
so... first option
first sentnece: ana adrus al-lugha al-3arabiya
that's this one
and the second one
is this one:
ana adrus al-lugha al-inglezia
Arabic is a very pretty, attractive, flowing language, it's enjoyable to write
it's satisfying to learn the letters and the shapes
and to see the words as they are formed and to be able to see the letters and hear them and say them
so I just wanted to show you how to write it as well
ana adrus al-lugha al-3arabiya
or
ana adrus al-lugha al-inglezia
