"He is Dutch from Amsterdam."

Translation: هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن أَمْسْتِرْدام.

[Sinan1234567]

Anyone else thinks this is a very strange sentence?

[cuzi_hd]

I think the literal translation results in an uncommon construction in English, although grammatically ok. The natural way in English would be either "He is a Dutchman from Amsterdam" or "He is Dutch and (he is) from Amsterdam"

[colornbian]

How do you say the Netherlands in Arabic? Is there a difference between that and Holland? In my native language we frequently conflate the two, but I know there is a separate diplomatic term for the country as opposed to the region, I imagine it works the same in Arabic?

[benton.1]

In Arabic it's "Hollanda".

[pierotoni]

what does the هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن لَمى. answer mean.

[Ollie-Benson]

I got the multiple choice question asking me to translate "He is Dutch from Amsterdam". I got given the following options:

• He is a Dutch from Lama = هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن لَمى
• He is Dutch from Paris = هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن باريس
• He is Dutch from Amsterdam = هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن أَمْسْتِرْدام

I'm not sure what Lama is, but I hope this helps.

[pierotoni]

I found لَمى is a name for girls. Maybe it is also the arabic name for a well known town, but I cannot figure what.

[Diffm0]

Lama is a female name like Amanda. so it can't be the answer.

[notgonnasa7]

Lama is a female name

[Dizaster97]

Lama is also a name that's being used for training here besides samia, Carrie etc

[furat-A]

لمى is just a common female name in Arabic

[yosh1965]

I gave the correct answer, but was flagged as wrong, lost a heart.

[MaraVoskic]

Yes, I would say it is not correct. It should be "He is a Dutch from Amsterdam".

[benton.1]

That is not correct English. We do not say "He is a Dutch", nor do we say "He is an English" or "He is a French".

[U562]

he is a Holland from ...

[cohendotan]

The word for Netherlands ends with an alif ا. The word for a Dutchman ends with a ya ي.

[KhadijahAz8]

I don't understand why I got this wrong

[benton.1]

What did you write?

[3lyot]

why does the tts pronounce it as 'amstardaam' isn't it supposed to be 'amstirdaam'?
