"سيث أَمريكِيّ لُبنانِيّ."

Translation: Seth is Lebanese American.

[AbdulAmare]

I found audio not to be of great quality to be honest

[bandman232]

Agreed, ive found it difficult to learn the sentence since its difficult to hear it properly, but i think Arabic is still in beta.

[SanguineLoreen]

I faced it too

[Sasha71526]

What does this mean? In English usage, a Lebanese American is someone with one American parent and one Lebanese parent, whereas I understand that in American usage, this would refer to an American citizen with Lebanese ancestry. Which is implied by the Arabic phrase?

[TedinRaqis]

I hear Seth[in] amerikiyun lubnani. Hm?

[Away54]

TRaqis,

If we pronounce all ending sounds according to Standard Grammar, it will be:

سيثٌ أمريكيٌّ لبنانيٌّ.

"siithun 2amriikiyy(un) lubnaaniyy(un)"

Or ...

"siithun 2amriikiyy(un) lubnaaniyy." -- because of the full stop/the end of a sentence.

It is "-un" at "Seth" because the word is in the nominative case and is triptote which can receive tanwin and kasrah. (Some say it is "-u", ie. "siithu", in the nominative. The word "Seth" is diptote which cannot receive tanwin and kasrah -- but it is the weak/wrong opinion).

So, if we hear -in, it is grammatically not correct. We can report it. :))

[Akash_Polyglot]

What is term Seth means in arabic ?

[Away54]

Akash_Polygot,

Hope I understand your question correctly. "Seth" is a foreign name (اعجمية), is not Arabic. So, it doesn't have any mean in Arabic. However, in اسرائيلية، it is said that "Seth" (pronounced as شيث) is the third son of Adam (Some says "Seth" is the grandson of Adam -- from Cain/Qabil). Also, in Ancient Egyptian, "Seth" is described as the god of chaos.

[TanjilChou]

is'nt only a name?

[shyma100248]

My answer is correct pls check

[Suzielearns]

The order of American and Lebanese seems to be different in English and Arabic sentences. Is this a standard grammer rule or an error?

[KatieCos]

It's not an error. In both languages, the more intrinsic attribute, in this case, American, is positioned closest to the noun.

[KatieCos]

Not quite right. The less intrinsic attribute is placed in adjectival position to the more intrinsic. So in Arabic, Lebanese follows American, and in English it precedes it.

[Someboody1212]

Shouldn't it be:
Seth is an an American Labanese
or Seth is a Lebanese American
?
with an and a

[malooty28]

I hear it as saif

[lena700786]

i had AMERICAN AND LEBeNESE THE WRONG WAY AROUND!

[redactedname684]

I know who that Lebanese American is :-D

[RowenaDsou4]

I got wrong cause of is

[Nadjia394880]

The Pronunciation of seif is wrong.

[Aml562573]

Seth is Lebanese American

[-5cvt]

Why is wrong to say American Lebanese for one who is an American citizen and one's origin is Lebanese?

[FubbiKenan]

سيث امريكِي لٌبناِي. = Seth Amerykiy Lubnaniy

سيث = Seth

امريكِي = Amerykiy

لٌبناِي.= Lubnaniy

[MusaSaeed4]

I got a mistake for just a letter in labanese

[TanjilChou]

why seth american lebanese is incorrect?

[Maggi1203]

Ya

[JesusFerrer334]

I think it backwards in Arabic since I wrote American Lebanese... And it is wrong.

[JustinGree12]

How come "Seth is American Lebanese" doesn't work here? That's the order its written in literally.
