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

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

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

The word 'جاكيت' is dialect and is used in Morocco. The arabic words are 'سترة' or ' سريدة' or ' معطف'.
The Arabic word is سترة The word جاكيت is not Arabic but it is now used a lot
It sounds like "wa jakyat", according to the text it looks likes "wa jakeet".

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".
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!

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

"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."
I wrote house new in arabic but i got that wrong then i wrote new house in arabic and still got that wrong. Now what am i supposed to do
We can refer the word meanings from this link https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ar/Alphabet-4/tips-and-notes
But, unfortunately...
Until now, we should enter the link from our Web Browser and could not be opened directly from the Duolingo app.
Why is this in order? Most of it is like jacket new or door big. So why is this door and jacket? Shouldn’t they be mixed?
