Why 'Jaaratuhu' and not 'Jaaruhu'? We have been learned that adding 'uhu' means His. And since jaar means neigbour....jaaruhu

[CarstenLu]

Rosa is feminine, hence, it is a feminine neighbour, جارة and therefore his neighbour is جارتة .

[Adibzah]

Thanks for the explanation , I get it now

[mauro.bigsand]

هذه To referring to female
هَذا To referring to male

[Ralucul]

The key is in the feminine form of the word 'jaar' (since we talk about Rosa).
All the other forms (my/his neighbor) suggest the masculine form of the word ('jaar', not 'jaarat')

[AvaLaBrsaTopi]

جاري works too since you dont that you have to say "his neighbor"

[SamirShaker]

No, جاري means "my neighbor" when referring to a male neighbor.

[Syed243514]

how will you say: "This is my neighbor, Rosa"?

[SamirShaker]

هذه جارتي روزا

[ezupo1]

por favor, ayúdame con estas since in English you cannot write them.( and I see you reached level 25 in Spanish)
Esta es mi amiga Rosa VS esta es mi amiga, Rosa. thanks in advance.

[YanitoLeSang]

It seems to have a problem with the "Select the missing word" question. The sentence is backward so it appears as "روزا ..... هٰذِهِ" instead of "هٰذِهِ ...... روزا"

[mauro.bigsand]

? why HIS neighbor ? shuoldn't be HER neighbor Rosa? Rosa is a feminine name

[CarstenLu]

No, Rosa is the neighbour. The possessive suffix ـه is masculine and therefore it‘s his.

[mauro.bigsand]

I don't understand.
If I'm referring to a female neighbor I should say "this is HER neighbor Rosa". Am I wrong?

[KatieCos]

But why should a female neighbour be HER neighbour? Why can't a man have a female neighbour, ie, HIS (female) neighbour?

[Chronomatex]

English uses possessive pronouns that agree with the possessor and not with the object in possession. "His neighbour" if it's a man's, "her neighbour" if it's a woman's. Arabic does the same, although the neighbour can be specified as being a woman by adding a ة at the end.

Can someone PLEASEEEE explain the difference between heh-the and heh-thih

[avisarid1]

Do you mean هذا and هذه? If so, then the first is used fir masculine objects and the second for feminine objects.
