"سَيّارة واسِعة"

Translation: a spacious car

[Kat58588]

There are female and male nouns....most female n. have ta2 marbuta ة, but not all, and there are also a few male ones who do.

You have to know that mostly by heart.....just like French or German.

Car is female.

[KatieC993112]

They're usually called masculine and feminine in grammar; male and female in biology.

[JasonVoorheess]

And the masculine name Hamza حمزة

[kassco410]

Don't get me started on the confusing Hamza, hamza, Hamsa...I get them all mixed up!

[KatieC993112]

Oh no! I'd assumed since it ends in the A sound, it must be feminine. I'll have to wait to learn more grammar.

[Fede427235]

There is a kasra under the S, but they pronounce with A. Why?

[Bsher_1]

واسِعة ..
سِ pronounced as "se"
Wa-se-3a
وا-سِ-عة

[MamaLloyd]

To get a car fitting that description, you'll need something from the 1950's.

when u wanna make a joke but get no upvotes lmao

So did I get this right, there is no such thing as male and female nouns (like f.e. french un/une, which I thought of at first because previously the ة was added to sentences with female subjects only) but the ة is used for indefinite nouns?

[SuhailBanister]

It is also used with "female" nouns made definite by adding "al-" as a prefix, as we'll see shortly, God willing. For example: "sayyarah" = "a car," while "al-sayyarah (actually pronounced "as-sayyarah," for reasons to be explained later) = "the car."

[KatieC993112]

feminine, not female. It sounds gross to say "female" in grammar.

[Bsher_1]

Its Arabic word too, fus'ha ..
Not only Egyptian dialect.
Check the dictionary

[benton.1]

Is سيارة being pronounced correctly here? I thought it was pronounced "sai-ahr-rah" but here it is pronounced "sai-ehr-rah".

[wendya1]

is the word for spacious pronounced fasia or wersia?

[_FiX_]

waasi3ah

('spacious' in singular feminine at the end of a sentence)

trivia: fasia is Egyptian dialectical for a small fart. no $#!+. nopunintended.

[wendya1]

Thanks for saving me from that.:)

[_FiX_]

'a little fart of a car...'

[wendya1]

How many lingots do I get for learning how to say little farts?

[_FiX_]

i can only render one :D
but remember: just Egyptian dialect...

[wendya1]

Thanks
Haven't found anything to do with lingots
