[أول مصاطة باش نقولها لراجلي المستقبلي] [=first bad pun i’ll tell my future husband]
“ are you an even or odd (number)?”
Even (number) in arabic is (عدد) زوجي which can mean also “my husband”
I have just found how to send you an ask haha. Could you advise me on a good dictionary/webpage to find plurals? I use Almaany, but sometimes it has a lot of plurals for a word and it has happened to me before that I've learned a version of the plural which is not the most used one. Thank you!
Hello, there!
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any websites that had any online plural dictionaries in Arabic, or any English references for this.
However, I was able to find two books that are very interesting. The books are in Arabic but I’ll give you some information about how to use them.
The first book is called المعجم المفصل للجموع - د. إميل يعقوب (The detailed dictionary of plurals) by Dr. Emil Yaqooub.
[Download link]
The first 40 pages of the book is information about plurals, and the next 450 pages is a dictionary organized in Alphabetical order and it has all nouns in alphabetical order.
Every word has its meaning written next to it and its plural. The words have harakaat (diatrics).
(Note : I noticed that the nouns all have “al” the definite article before them).
The second book is called معجم الجموع و المثنى - غريد الشيخ (Dictionary of Plurals and Duals) by Ghareed Alshaikh.
[Download link]
This book is smaller than the first book, and it has dedicated two thirds of its pages for explanations on the plurals (it contains examples as well) but the actual dictionary is in the back (starts from page 104).
I found it easier to read than the first one, but sadly it doesn’t have (harakaat) diatrics so I think that this could be more useful for advanced students.
If anyone else has any helpful references or websites please share them.
my (foreigner) friend once tagged me to show me this (taken from mundo lingo facebook page) and i found it hilarious. but it also inspired me for a post idea.
HOW TO TEXT IN ARABIC LIKE A NATIVE - THE BASICS
let’s attack the “alphabet” first. so we use the latin alphabet bc of many reasons: some devices don’t dispose of an arabic one, we use a lot of french/english words and ofc the arabized english/french is better written with the latin letters.
for the majority of the letters, we use their english equivalent like for ت it’s “t”, for س it’s “s”, for م it’s “m”, etc. for the letters that can’t be pronounced in englsih, we write them in numbers!! and here lies all the fun! :D
unfortunately, north african and middle eastern don’t agree on some letters. so i’ll seperate the letters/numbers in 2 groups.
the letters that are agreed on in all MENA:
أ is 2
ع is 3
ذ is 4
خ is 5
ح is 7
the letters that are different in NA and ME:
i’ll write the maghrebi version first then the middle eastern second.
ق is 9 or 8
غ is 8 or 3′
this is all.
here is me and one of my friends chatting. Practise! ;)
back to that meme, u might understand now that it’s all wrong, except the word 7abibi ;)
Shukran 7abibti 😭 I appreciate this post very much. I’ve been looking for a post like this for years. I was too shy to ask my friends lol
“I write because I’m poor, I write because words are all I own, I write because I’m tired of hollow talk” - Arabic Graffiti
Hi, jame3a! If anyone is still here at all. It's been a while. I hope everyone is doing okay.
First off all, falastin 7orra!
Having gotten this out of the way,
I'm not reviving this blog.
I'd just like to clean out all (400) of my drafts on this account dating back to probably around 2016 or maybe earlier.
The goal is to just post-dump all (400) drafts I have collected on this blog.
I have zero idea what all is in my drafts. Please try to bear with me if there's anything suspicious (Zionist) in there. If there's anything suspicious, meaning anything Zionist, by Zionists, or featuring Zionists, I'll delete it when I finish my post-dump.
As mentioned, I have 400 drafts to post-dump. I'll go through my drafts and delete some, but it's still going to be a lot of posts to dump. I don't know how long it'll all take to post. I encourage anyone who's still here to temporarily block me or temporarily mute me or unfollow me or whatever you do these days to hide someone's posts on here because it's going to be annoying to see so many posts about stuff from 2016 I probably don't particularly care about now, much less anyone who may be following me, if anyone is still even here.
New Year Arabic vocabulary
عام جديد/ سنة جديدة new year (aam jadid / sana jadida)
عام (جديد) سعيد / كل عام و أنت بخير / كل سنة و أنت طيب(ة) happy new year ( aam jadid sa’id / kol aam wa anta/i bi khayr / kol sana wa anti/a tayeb(a))
حفلة party (hafla)
احتفالات رأس السنة new year’s celebrations (ihtifalet ra’ss assana)
منتصف الليل midnight (montassaf al-layl)
يرقص to dance (yar9oss)
أماني wishes (amani)
يتمنّى to wish (yatamana)

قرار resolution ( qarar)
قرّر to decide (qarrar)
برنامج plan (barnemej)
أهداف goals ( ahdef)
قبلة kiss (qobla)
حبّ love (hob)

سعادة hapiness (saa’ada)
ألعاب ناريّة fireworks (alaab naria)
ديسمبر december (dicember)
جانفي january (janfi)
جديد(ة) new (jadid(a))
كحول alcohol (kouhoul)
it is totally correct to say “العام الجديد” to mean the new year, but it is more native-sounding to say “رأس العام” (ra’ss al-aam) that literally translates to “the year’s head”.
as usual, the verbs are in the present masculine singular form.
The Complex Geometry of Islamic Design
In Islamic culture, geometry is everywhere. You can find it in mosques, madrasas, palaces and private homes. This tradition began in the 8th century CE during the early history of Islam, when craftsman took preexisting motifs from Roman and Persian cultures and developed them into new forms of visual expression.
This period of history was a golden age of Islamic culture, during which many achievements of previous civilizations were preserved and further developed, resulting in fundamental advancements in scientific study and mathematics. Accompanying this was an increasingly sophisticated use of abstraction and complex geometry in Islamic art, from intricate floral motifs adorning carpets and textiles, to patterns of tile work that seemed to repeat infinitely, inspiring wonder and contemplation of eternal order.
Despite the remarkable complexity of these designs, they can be created with just a compass to draw circles and a ruler to make lines within them, and from these simple tools emerges a kaleidoscope multiplicity of patterns. So how does that work? Well, everything starts with a circle. The first major decision is how will you divide it up? Most patterns split the circle into four, five or six equal sections. And each division gives rise to distinctive patterns.
There’s an easy way to determine whether any pattern is based on fourfold, fivefold, or sixfold symmetry. Most contain stars surrounded by petal shapes. Counting the number of rays on a starburst, or the number of petals around it, tells us what category the pattern falls into. A star with six rays, or surrounded by six petals, belongs in the sixfold category. One with eight petals is part of the fourfold category, and so on.
There’s another secret ingredient in these designs: an underlying grid. Invisible, but essential to every pattern, the grid helps determine the scale of the composition before work begins, keeps the pattern accurate, and facilitates the invention of incredible new patterns. Let’s look at an example of how these elements come together.
We’ll start with a circle within a square, and divide it into eight equal parts. We can then draw a pair of criss-crossing lines and overlay them with another two. These lines are called construction lines, and by choosing a set of their segments, we’ll form the basis of our repeating pattern.
Many different designs are possible from the same construction lines just by picking different segments. And the full pattern finally emerges when we create a grid with many repetitions of this one tile in a process called tessellation.
By choosing a different set of construction lines, we might have created this any of the above patterns. The possibilities are virtually endless.
We can follow the same steps to create sixfold patterns by drawing construction lines over a circle divided into six parts, and then tessellating it, we can make something like the above.
Here’s another sixfold pattern that has appeared across the centuries and all over the Islamic world, including Marrakesh, Agra, Konya and the Alhambra.
Fourfold patterns fit in a square grid, and sixfold patterns in a hexagonal grid.
Fivefold patterns, however, are more challenging to tessellate because pentagons don’t neatly fill a surface, so instead of just creating a pattern in a pentagon, other shapes have to be added to make something that is repeatable, resulting in patterns that may seem confoundingly complex, but are still relatively simple to create.
This more than 1,000-year-old tradition has wielded basic geometry to produce works that are intricate, decorative and pleasing to the eye. And these craftsman prove just how much is possible with some artistic intuition, creativity, dedication along with a great compass and ruler.

arabskaya-devushka a réagi à votre billet “Tagged by @pakistanipolyglot, thank you very much <3 I really love the…”
also thank you for tagging me <3
yikes is a weird word tbh xD also i really like lamma bada yatathana! it kinda represents the arabic music for me!
You’re welcome! I’m also glad to hear that we both agree about lamma bada yatathanna ^^ It’s a great introduction to Arabic music
When caught using one of these words, just pretend you were saying something else in the Palestinian/Jordanian dialects, because they mean something completely different there.

Arabic Grammar (2).
We hope the grammar in the (1) post was easy and understandable for you ,and we’ll complete in this one . *Arabic has two grammatical genders. In Arabic a word can be either masculine or feminine - just like in French. Feminine words are usually easy to spot, because most of them end in ـة ة (taa’ marbooTa). example: Word: friend Feminine Singular :صديقة \ Sadeeqa Masculine Singular: صديق \ Sadeeq . *Arabic words are formed according to a root system. Most Arabic words derive from a three or four letter root. This can best be explained using a concrete example.
The following words all derive from the same three root letters -Publish- نشر (N SH R):
To Publish :نشر \Nshra
Publisher : ناشر \Nasher
Publication: منشور\Manshoor
In Publish: يُنشر \Yunshar
Diffuse: منتشر \Montasher
Diffusion: إنتشار\Enteshar
Another example :
To write : كتب \ kataba
Writer : كاتب\kaatib
Written : مكتوب \maktoob
Book : كتاب \ kitaab
Writing : كتابة \kitaaba
Bookstore : مكتبة \ maktaba
Once you’ve figured out how this system works, you will be able to construct a lot of words from the same root, saving you valuable time in memorizing vocabulary. For now, simply try to recognize similarities between words and see if you can spot the three (or four) root letters.
Well, our friends, we will leave the last remaining grammar lesson for later so we make sure you understand everything so far, Don’t forget to contact us and let us know if you have any questions or problems, and we thank you for your time and for following and liking Arabic way ,see you soon . Have a nice day ,يومكم سعيد .

Expressions with the word “Allah”
Thank you for this interesting request, @languagesandshootingstars!
Before I begin I’ll start by explaining the word “Allah”. It doesn’t mean “God of Muslims” as many people might think, it simply means “The God”, which refers to the God in the Abrahamic, monotheist religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) which is why Arabic speakers of these religions say “Allah” when they are referring to “The one God”.
There is a word for “deity” (a God among other Gods, whether it’s to refer to polytheist regions or in mythology studies), and I believe that the best word in that context is إله the female is : إلهة and the plural is آلهة.
So now, this vocabulary list is to talk about the famous expressions that contain the word “Allah” in them, which I’m sure you’ll encounter if you’re speaking with Native Arabic speakers.
والله / Wallah/ [audio : Standard Arabic + dialect]
Literal meaning : (I swear) By God
Usage : when you’re swearing, for example : Wallah (I swear) I didn’t eat the cake you hid in the fridge, why won’t you believe me?
(There are other ways to say that you swear, for example : بالله (Billah), for example بالله عليك إنت إللي أكلت الكيكة؟ / billah ‘aleek inta elli akalt el keika?/ (Swear) by God, were you the one who ate my cake?)
ما شاء الله / Ma Shaa’a Allah / [audio : Standard Arabic] / [audio : Dialect]
Literal meaning : “What God Wills”
Usage : It’s used by people to express their happiness or how impressed they are about something. Also, people usually use this word to protect themselves or the person they are happy for from the evil eye (the bad eye, jealousy).
If someone is sharing a good piece of news to their friend, their friends would say “Ma Shaa Allah, I’m so happy for you”. Also, if a friend is complimenting your eyes or outfit, they would follow their compliment with “Ma Shaa Allah” with the intention of protecting you from accidentally being struck by the evil eye.
سبحان الله /Subhaan Allah / [audio : Standard Arabic]
Literal meaning : Glorified is God
Usage : when you’re impressed about something or to show how amazed you are about something that exists or has happened. For example, if you’re talking to your friend about a very beautiful sunset that you’ve seen or describing the beautiful voice of a nightingale that you’ve heard, you can start by saying “Subhan Allah.”
It can also be used as a response to an impressive thing that you’ve heard someone say like how a person miraculously survives a dangerous or deadly situation.
الله يسامحك/ Allah ysaamhak/ [audio : dialect]
Note : in MSA it’s سامحك الله [audio] / saamahaka Allah
Literal meaning : May God forgive you
Usage : when you’re upset with someone and ask that God will forgive them. Usually people say that when they’re really upset with someone but they’re implying that they don’t want to say anything else (which is a better alternative than insulting someone or saying rude things to them in response) for example:
- I purposely broke your favorite vase yesterday because you said that my outfit was ugly.
-What? How could you..?Y-you know what, May God forgive you.
الله اعلم /Allahu a’lam / [audio : Standard Arabic + dialect]
Meaning : God is more knowledgeable
Usage : as the meaning suggests, it’s used to say that God knows more than you do with regards to a certain question, that is, you either don’t know the answer or don’t have enough information about it. For example :
-Do you think there is are living beings in space?
-Allahu a’alam…
كتر الله خيرك/ Kattar Allah Kheirak / [audio : dialect]
Literal meaning : may God multiply your good (deeds)
Usage : it can either be used as a thank you to someone who did something good or as being sarcastic to someone who has messed a situation up, it depends on the context but I usually hear it more as sarcasm than as a genuine thank you.
إن شاء الله / In Shaa’ Allah / [audio : Standard Arabic] / [audio : dialect]
Literal meaning : If God wills
Usage : When you’re talking about future events that you’re uncertain about. There are also many people who use “in shaa allah” to show that although they are determined to do something, in the end, this thing will happen if God is willing.
