"Are you an engineer, ma'am?"

Translation: هَل أَنْتِ مُهَنْدِسة يا أُسْتاذة؟

[ZeshanUmar]

استاذ ة is teacher

[Maaq98]

Do u say Professor to any Unknown People in Arabic??!

[Maaq98]

I think it should be Sayed or Sayedat, NOT Professor

[truthiness37]

Can we maybe get an option to omit the interrogative particle for those of us who have studied dialects?

[arabmouni]

It is quite annoying, but I doubt they woukd do that in order to be consistent. Eventually, Duolingo should add other dialects like Mango Languages did.

[ShaheryarJ]

Shouldn't Ustadah be teacher

[arabmouni]

Ustadh/a can mean professor or sir/ma'am. They failed to teach it in prior lessons and just assumed people would catch on. In this instance, you would be speaking to someone older to show respect.

[Bouchra191]

I disagree with you. Ostadha means teacher and nothing else. Some men say it to women who look like teachers and not for every woman.

[Alivated]

I must agree with Bouchra on this one. I don't know why Duolingo decided to translate sir/ma'am as teacher. As a native of Arabic, I find this inaccurate and absurd.
