"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

[ShababFarh]

Yeah...... not me. ;)

[TRaqis]

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.

"siith(u) 2amriikiyy(un) lubnaaniyy(un)"

Or ...

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

It is "-u" at "Seth" because the word is in the nominative case and is diptote which cannot receive tanwin and kasrah. (Some people say it is "-un", ie. "siithun", in the nominative so the word is triptote which receives tanwin and kasrah -- but, I think it is the weak opinion). So, if we hear -in, it is grammatically not correct. We can report it. :))

What is term Seth means in arabic ?

[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?

[malooty28]

I hear it as saif

[shyma100248]

My answer is correct pls check

[RowenaDsou4]

I got wrong cause of is

[lena700786]

i had AMERICAN AND LEBeNESE THE WRONG WAY AROUND!

[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?

[KatieC993112]

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

[KatieC993112]

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.

[el7r]

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

[redactedname684]

I know who that Lebanese American is :-D

[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
