[monicamoritz]

how can we know the meaning after just alphabet exercices

[Talei.]

I agree... also a pronunciation of the answer would be good ...too small to decipher.

[benton.1]

When you put your mouse cursor over the words with dots under them, the meaning of the words is shown.

[CleraRodrigues]

There are no dots for me...

[TusharWadh5]

Tap on words to see translation and clues, i was also wondering wtf!

[jdjaustin]

Please add audio and increase the font size.

[benton.1]

There is audio. When you click on the words in the question to select them they are pronounced and when you click on the blue speaker icon the phrase or sentence is read.

[Mercalyn]

Absolutely this. I have to bump up browser size to at least 200% just to even make any characters out!

[Zohdiac]

90% of us are doing this on our phones

[kara5712800]

Exactly!

[AddiDroid3]

It would be nice when the answers have a sound.

[ZezeFortun]

I completely agree.

سُتْرَةٌ

[ConchiCastillo]

Is سُتْرَةٌ another word for 'jacket'? I wonder in which countries or varieties of Arabic it is used. Thank you!

[Origin5world5_]

The word 'جاكيت' is dialect and is used in Morocco. The arabic words are 'سترة' or ' سريدة' or ' معطف'.

[kara5712800]

The Arabic word is سترة
The word جاكيت is not Arabic but it is now used a lot

[Away54]

In Ancient Arabic, "سُترَة" means barrier.

[ZachIskend]

It sounds like "wa jakyat", according to the text it looks likes "wa jakeet".

[benton.1]

There are only 3 vowel letters in Arabic with long and short, in duration, versions. But, they have to cover more than 3 vowel sounds, especially when writing foreign loan words and names. It is written "wa jaakiit" but is pronounced "wa jaaket", close to how we pronounce it in English, "jaket", with just a longer "a" sound. The Arabic letter "yaa" doubles as "y" and "ii".

Audio please

[SamiMelhem1]

It's the other way around, "a jacket and a door"

how can i know the meaning of arabic

[mirrxaa]

I wrote the correct answer over 20 times
Plzz fix this

[LevyAleph]

I'll catch on bc I'm set on learning.. but these word translations thrown in so haphazardly, without much structure & before we even learn the entire alphabet is.. Eh!

[Bilal765042]

Why is it bab wa jacket and not wa bab wa jacket? I don't have the Arabic keyboard so its hard to explain it

[benton.1]

"Wa" means "and", not "a". Arabic does not use an indefinite article - no "a" - it is "understood", as we say. "Wa bab wa jacket" would mean "And door and jacket", when it should be "baab wa jaakiit/ (A) door and (a) jacket."
