"هَل تَعْرِفين أَيْن مَدينَتي يا سامْية؟"

Translation: Do you know where my city is, Samia?

[Hasak10]

Do you know where is my city, Samia? is not correct

[SoftlyJazzMadrid]

No, it isn't grammatically correct. Here we need an indirect question: 'Do you know where my city is, Samia?'. The direct question would be: 'Where is my city, Samia?'.

[m1anas]

Then tell us both direct and indirect in Arabic?

[jaoira]

Yeah, just got it marked wrong but do believe it should be accepted.

[BurimSkenderi]

Where my city is, this form in English is used when you had something and you lost it, and you are looking for it.

[suhaibkn]

Its not Samiat-an, it should be Samia[-tu]

It can't be in the accusative state.

[litenarata]

It shouldn't be either. It's a name, it should just be Samia.

[Away54]

litenata,

suhaibkn is absolutely correct, ie. "yaa samiatu". He understands about the ruling of harf nida perfectly. Please see any 2an-naHwu book. Whilst, your spelling, "yaa samia" is common spoke on daily basis, which mostly ending sounds are omitted.

[f.gubbala]

It not correct answers

[LibraHawkins]

I love how everything is comming together now after all these lessons

[-indonesia]

Woooww.. I'm happy coz this time your grammar is correct Duolingo

[ThinkerXT]

Something worth noting is that the correct vocalisation for the name Samia is سَامِيَة it is with a kasrah not sukun.

[sologreatest]

Isnt do you where is my city samia the same as do you where is my city samia
