"هٰذِهِ الْطّاوِلة حارّة."

Translation: This table is hot.

[Outofmylimit]

The adjective is wrong.

We use the word حار or حارة for food; it means spicy.

We describe objects with ساخن or ساخنة; it means hot.

[sbihaylish]

actually depends on different arab countries

[Outofmylimit]

Really?! I don't think I've ever seen an Arab use it. Which country are you talking about?

[sbihaylish]

I apologize, I got mixed up, you're right.

[WasfiAkab]

In Iraq we use only حار

[deactivated user]

Ha ha.. no. It is right. we use both for everything

[natashac11]

I thought maybe Egyptians use Haar to describe weather as hot, at least...but I may be wrong.

[Outofmylimit]

You're right.

[AGmail2]

Well in my arabic class, (taught by a native speaker) we were taught that it meant hot as in weather. Unfortunatly I do not remember which country in particular she was from.

[KTPtVL]

In Lebanon, agree with you.

[VasilinaLy1]

I can only imagine in what situations I could use this phrase.. :D

[FJ7FJ]

...when you fall in love with... ...a table??!! )) Furniture stores are dangerous!!! ))

[Sm119]

Poker obviously

[Basty.R_____]

Which definitely should improve your retention. ;-)
Do you know why they use sukkuun all over the place in the articles even in front of "sun-letters"?

[EasyBreecy]

You don't say it every day?

[ilya.kohan]

Haha yep

[AyaanAhmed20511]

Sorry for an irrelevant question but why don't we get speaking exercises in Arabic course?

[Syeda487]

Does this make any sense in Arabic, because it makes absolutely none in English?

[ConchiCastillo]

Try leaving a metal table in the sun!

[Scott-OK]

True enough. I was thinking of a warming table for restaurants where they leave food on a hot table for buffets and such. I worked at a pizza place where they had a metal table with some sort of heating coils in it.

[Pilar360601]

This sentence makes perfect sense in Andalusia (south of Spain), where the traditional and most widespread heating system for winter months is the "mesa de camilla".

[phuvtuo]

That sounds cozy. I would like to see this.

[gsp732649]

after significant efforts questing for sense in language and life, i have concluded that it is better to not seek or expect sense but to just translate. we will in any case be exposed to grammar and vocabulary. but i do appreciate all the comments and clarifications.

[ConchiCastillo]

I hope they include 'This table's hot' as another possible translation.

[Talib-61]

Hot table, also implies stolen property.

[Tadhg431342]

Why is it not

هده الطولة الحارة

Shouldn't Haar get an Al- because it describes the noun which has an al-

[Away54]

Tadhg431342,

The هذه الطاولة الحارة will be: "this hot table".

It can also be meant as:

هذه الطاولة الحارة : هذه هي الطاولة الحارة
"This is (the) hot table".

[Away54]

Tadhg431342,

In the هذه الطاولة حارة, "Haara" is a complement (khabar) of the "hadhihi 2aT-Taawila" phrase in the nominal sentence so "Haara" doesn't receive ال -- If "Haara" has ال, "Haara" is the attributive adjective (na3at) of the "2aT-Taawila" word; the meaning will be totally different, ie. "This hot table".

I'm so sorry previously I forgot to explain this matter.

[Laura671493]

Is: "This is a hot table" OK?

[Away54]

Laura671493,

This is a hot table = هذه طاولة حارة

[doJob1]

Oof

[KTPtVL]

Suhun or suhni in Lebanon.

This does not make sense for 60.00 Subtotal UK ROW

[Halloween11495]

Xet.

To the following information

[ibtheib]

Bad usage of حار. It's only used to describe weather, people (as in they feel hot, not the meaning relating to attractiveness), and occasionally for spicy or "hot" food. Inanimate objects are not حار, they're سوخن.
