oh, I have some more questions (sorry to keep bugging you >.<):

First of all, when you say how old you are, do you use masculine or feminine numbers? Or do girls use feminine numbers and guys masculine ones?

And also, how do you write the slangy/improper "meifa ata/me'eifo at" ? Don't worry about nikkud by the way, I just need the basic letters xp

Thanks again for your time! 3nodding

You use the feminine numbers because it's kind of like counting. Both males and females would use the feminine numbers. Good thought though, I've never thought about it myself.

מאיפה את?


Notice, there's an upper dot there on the פ. It's pronounced "me'eifo". smile

Jesus Christ. eek

You were close, only you used final כ instead of ר.
It should be:
!אני מדבר ערבית


ועברית גם, מסתבר.י


For dots and accents, use Caps Lock, click on Shift and then choose one symbol betweeb ~ and |. They're on that row. I can't remember where each one is, to be honest.

YEAY!!!! xd (I am so proud of myself ^^)

So, the root for the second word is: ד ב ר... right?
I forgot what it meant though: "comprihend"? "understand"? "speak? sweatdrop

I also found the dots... Thank you... THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! xd

Also:
gonk I just saw it right now!

Arabic and Hebrew letters look so much alike!

notice:

د = ד
ب = בּ
ر = ר


It's like the Hebrew letters are the Arabic letters tilted 90 degrees counter-clockwise... WOW!

Then again, the written alphabets have the same Phoenician Origins ^^

(I love/want to build bridges... biggrin )

Edit:
I've just noticed I was referring to the wrong word.
Yes, the root of that word is ד ב ר, it means "to speak". smile

They have the same origins. There are even similarities with English...
c כ ك
p פ

We have this large table at the library that shows the development of the alphabet. You can really see the similarities much clearer. I should find that on the internet or take a picture of it, it's quite incredible.

Interestingly, I think that Arabic normally pronounces the פ as an F or ف

I was listening to a Meretz political ad...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic3yCseNPNo

2006 I think is spelled:
אלפינ וי שיש

I think I completely butchered that one... sweatdrop

In arabic it would be:
ألفين و ستة

That's why Farsi is also known as Persian... biggrin
At least, that's what I think...

I was able to pick up so many words... it was cool. Educational really... xd

This has been bugging me a little though:

What's the differance between:
נ and ן
מ and ם
פ and ף
צ and ץ
It's hard to go too far without knowing the alphabet fully... That's why I gave a lot of focus on the alphabet in the Arabic Crash-Course thread... sweatdrop
