"سام مُتَرجِم جَيِّد."

Translation: Sam is a good translator.

The way this sounds to me is so different from the way the words sound individually. Would someone mind explain the pronunciation here? Thank you!

[SteveCarre3]

there are some grammatical endings that are onlysaid in the full scentence. Namely: 'un' at the end of the thrid word

[CarstenLu]

The "un" you hear is at the end of the second word. مُتَرجِم is a single word even if it is not connected. Six of the Arabic letters cannot be connected to the left, namely ادذرزو.

[PapiSido]

with complete vocalisation shouldn't it be
سام مُتَرجِمٌ جَيِّد
or even
سام مُتَرجِمٌ جَيِّدٌ ?

[CarstenLu]

I would say the latter, even though you do not pronounce a nunation on the last word of a sentence.

I want to appreciate Duolingo because my answer was not marked wrong for spelling

[MariaShtal]

What's the difference between ّ on top of َ and the other way round, ّ underneath َ ?

[awelottta]

The "w" symbol is called "shadda" and it doubles the letter. The dash underneath means a short "i" sounds and the dash on top is a short "ah" sound.

david and daud are accepted as the same name, why not accept ismael in lieu of sam(uel)?

[benton.1]

David is the English form of Daud. Samuel and Ismael are two different names.

[cazort]

The degree to which this marks things "correct" for having a "typo" is utterly absurd.

I typed: "يام موتورجَم جَيد" and it accepted this as a "typo" and the most ridiculous thing was that it completely ignored the gibberish "موتورجَم" which is outright wrong, like it treated this as correct.

This is a serious bug or flaw in the system. If it cannot process stuff like this, the course is just about broken IMHO.

I am very fluent in arabic please comment if you need any help at all

[Varmth]

Can you please explain me the sentence formation here? Does the adjective come after the noun? Thanks in advance.

[benton.1]

In Arabic, adjectives come after the nouns they modify. In English, adjectives come before the nouns they modify.

What/which is Arabic word for 'a' (one)?

[benton.1]

One/1 = احد/aHd. There is no "a" like we have in English. All languages are not the same with the same rules for grammar and sentence structure.

[Gadama1]

Please what is wrong with my translation.

[benton.1]

We can't see what you wrote. You have to tell us.

[benton.1]

There is no word for "a" in Arabic, but it is required to be written in English.
