Hover over the words to see their translations.

[steve816450]

Tap the words to see them, i just found out too!

[AsiyaAnjum]

I WILL KNOW!!!!!!!

[ElizabethS401843]

The letters are too small

[frwilliam]

I typed: سَمَك جَديد

Duolingo said there's a typo but I don't see the difference between what I typed and the given answer .... can someone help me understand? Or is it just a bug?

[Abdallah483556]

No difference.

[7H3BL4Z3R786]

there is a difference

[JJGurrl1]

Just a bug......It happens to me sometimes

[Ateama]

You weren't supposed to add the fatiha ( the lines on top of the letters) Duolingo is just showing you the sounds if you added the fatiha. You would pronounce it longer. Just don't add any short vouls.

[Ateama]

I meant 'you would pronounce it shorter'

[tsuj1g1r1]

The fat7a is optional, you can add it or leave it and it changes nothing at all about the length of the vowel.

[NguyenHoan703665]

I think your device may have a glitch tho

[ElizabethS401843]

The letters of Arabic are too small

[7H3BL4Z3R786]

yep

[SylviaSamu1]

We should be exposed to the eords first before the sentences.

[Meital640]

جَديد looks like חדש in hebrew.

[ErikNilsson0]

I think חדש looks more like حَدِيث which means new/modern.

[Hxvan]

Let's see:

جديد (/d͡ʒa.ˈdiːd/) - חדש (/χaˈdaʃ/)

[KoanTao]

I didn't know where to comment this issue, so I do it here in the second level. The last segment of the first level should not belong there as it seems from a much higher level.

[tsuj1g1r1]

The exercises are shuffled. We don't know what the last segment of the first level is, as it was presented to you. Could you be more specific?

Anyway, I believe the difference between the levels has to do with the kind of exercise that you're presented with. The words and sentences themselves are the same. You're asked to translate to Arabic more on the higher levels, and asked to translate to English more on the lower ones. You're asked to translate using the word bank on Level 1, then you move on to translate by typing from memory by Level 3.

Does this also have to add - un?

[davina380923]

I do wonder if it might have been better to have started with images and whole words. My 72 year old brain finds the alphabet hard to retain. Probably just me!

[Rachael553661]

I really struggle with these words, as haven't been taught them upfront

[JJGurrl1]

For Non-Arabs :

Why couldn't it be 'سمك طازج' or 'سمكة طازجة' which means 'fresh fish' because when Duo says 'new fish' it sounds weird --> My friends : Hey JJ! Watcha got for dinner. Me : New fish <--- I mean..like really...... it would be better like this --> My friends : Hey JJ! Watcha got for dinner. Me : Fresh fish! Here want some! (Even though I hate seafood...blek..euurgh (Sorry if I spoilt your appetite)

edit : Ok...If it was going to be 'سَمَك جَديد' it should at least be 'سمكة جَديد'

---

For Non-English | لغير اللغة الإنجليزية

لماذا لا يمكن أن يكون "سمكة طازج" الذي يعني "السمك الطازج" لأنه عندما يقول Duo "سمكة جديدة" تبدو غريبة -> أصدقائي : مرحبًا JJ! حصلت على العشاء. أنا : سمكة جديدة <--- يعني .. مثل حقا ...... سيكون من الأفضل مثل هذا -> أصدقائي : يا JJ! حصلت على العشاء. أنا : سمكة طازجة! هنا تريد بعض! (على الرغم من أنني أكره المأكولات البحرية ... blek..euurgh (آسف إذا أفسدت شهيتك)

تعديل : حسنا ... إذا كان سيكون "سَمَك جَديد" فيجب أن يكون على الأقل "سمكة جَديدة"

The Arabic text is mixed up. Sorry Arabians or Egyptians.

النص العربي مختلط. عفوا عرب ام مصريين.

[Quatrennada08]

أضن أنه عربي

[masumakhan4]

Love this

[Cleo310784]

Could you put first one word to learn instead of 2 words? It's to hard to learn at the beginning!

[Tyler439559]

This is crazy. I have never seen the wor fish in Arabic. I am just supposed to guess but then it covers up the amswes and does not pronounce the right amswer for me. Not helpful.

[Ateama]

Thanks for correcting my answer duo!

[MUHAMMEDNA609713]

Duolingo is an amazing application

[7H3BL4Z3R786]

bruh

[BillCowall1]

i'm so glad i learned 7 of the 28 Arabic letters so i can now get every word wrong they present to me! i never used z in english class, but at least they still taught us what it was

[MUHAMMEDNA609713]
