"Judy does not have a brown and blue coat."

Translation: لَيْسَ عِنْد جودي مِعْطَف بُنِّيّ وَأَزْرَق.

[NezihD]

why "أَزْرَق " instead of " زرقاء " ?

[Rafi3M]

The first is masculine and the second is feminine

[tkoczur]

Got it. I had a challenge with that issue as well and didnt note the distinction. Thank you.

[amirhosein605652]

Generally colors based on فعلاء are feminine. Even they have it in names such as زهرا، کبری، صغری

[salehalatas]

If you have issue distinguishing masculine and feminine, remeber that masculine color adjective start with aliph, and aliph somewhat look like a penis. Hope that helps.

[DuoLiNxo]

Coat is masculine, thus أَزْرَق

[Abdulhameed_123]

I think the masculine أزرق and feminine زرقاء are being used for the noun they qualify, either if it is masculine or feminine

[kampmannpeine]

so Arab differentiates between men's coat and lady's coat?

[Alex969610]

Not quite. The word coat is masculine and therefore the colour has to be adjusted to the masculine noun that is discribes.
If it would be a blue table it would be the female version as table is female in Arabic (and in French by the way while Table is male in German)

[Julkon5]

SCRIPT size is like a torture for me. Especially when new words are introduced - the letters are not only tiny but they're light yellow on white background! HELP PLEASE!

[LDailey01]

I agree. Larger script would definitely help.

[DuoLiNxo]

I want a bigger font for the arabic script. I am using zoom but the english words become too big

[Maaq98]

It would be better in BOLD.

[kampmannpeine]

the actual problems are the points over or under the letter: ba, nun, ta etc.

[Sophia_Eressea]

Use the dark mode, then the font stands out better

[RayhanChau]

Why عند and not عندها

[linguafiqari]

عند means at or by. Therefore, like how in English you don't say "Judy she has...", in Arabic you don't need to say "عندها جودي...". Do note, however, that in dialect and less formal MSA, the common structure would be "جودي عندها..."

[tsuj1g1r1]

It's not necessarily less formal MSA, it's just a variant.

[kampmannpeine]

could you pleas explain: what is MSA? main stream Arabic?

[hadi949111]

You say عند جودي
Or جودي عندها

[Elma238152]

Now I get it. Thank you! Have a lingot :)

[salehalatas]

Thank you for the explanation.

[Homam_98]

ليس عند جودي معطف
جودي ليس عندها معطف

عند for معطف ( المعطف مذكر )
عندها for جودي ( جودي مؤنث )

[kampmannpeine]

this is not quite clear because of lack of separations (like comma etc.)

[Taoheed5]

It would be of great benefit and help if the correct answer could be pronounced and written legibly for we learners

[KatieCos]

For us learners. "We" when it's the subject.

[Susan569895]

Really not tge easiest way to learn colours or a beginner...id prefer shorter sentences with just one colour....

[davidvz88]

judy is feminine so why is the brown the masculine

[WarHawk19]

Because 'coat' is masculine

[Alex969610]

The adjective (the colour is the discribing word) and it is the coat (male) that is blueand not Judy who is discribed as being blue, it has to be male :)

[MargaretBo781581]

I am just NOT grasping the concept of turning the colours around English/Arabic /I am having a rest from it for now come back later

[Staka11]

What is the mistake here in this translation?

[rfpl]

Asks for 3indaha but there's only 3inda in the options

[WarHawk19]

Should we use the spelling of an object or just the object in general when applying colours?

[kampmannpeine]

why not "3indii judii laissa" ... "عِنْد جودي ليس معطؤ "
