"اَلْكَراج كَبير."

Translation: The garage is big.

[dario_tg]

What's the difference then between "the big garage" and "the garage is big"?

[YousefHawash]

"The big garage" would be "اَلْكَراج ٱلْكَبير". As you can see, in this case you should add "al-" before the adjective as well.

[dario_tg]

Thank you! Both "al-" have to be pronounced?

[YousefHawash]

Yes, that's right! However, the alif of the second "al-" is silent, since it is preceded by a vowel - so the phrase would be pronounced as "al-karaju l-kabir".

[triklogl]

Thanks! Duo pronounces “al-karaju kabir” and my tablet’s TTS “al-karaji kabir”, very inconvenient!

[zaheenUmai]

If we use al before both the word, wouldn't it mean "the garage the big". I know it doesn't make any sense but I'm not really clear. What does al really mean. If it means" the " then the sentence should be "the garage the big". Is there any grammatical solution to this?

What is the difference between the big garage and the garage is big

[AnneMS1]

Why cannot this also mean "The big garage"?

[Amelia.A.]

see a higher comment, in order for it to be "the big garage" the adjective also has to have a prefix

Hi

[jeffffyyyyyyyy]

Because "Big" comes after "Garage".
I think.

[AlMuzaffarDaima]
