"an easy language and an easy teacher"

Translation: لُغة سَهْلة وَمُعَلِّم سَهْل

[1dnana]

Why do 'easy' & 'teacher' not have ة at the end?

[Christoph55835]

Because the teacher is a man.

An easy language and an easy (male) teacher = ٌلُغَةٌ سَهْلَةٌ وَمُعَلِّمٌ سَهْل

An easy language and an easy (female) teacher = لُغَةٌ سَهْلَةٌ وَمُعَلِّمَةٌ سَهْلَةٌ

You see the difference?

[vanjonsson]

Both answers should be accepted since we don't know the gender of the teacher.

[deactivated user]

Nup, you should know that every word (99%) ends with ة is female

Is "girl" بنت a feminine word?

[_FiX_]

yes

[KatieC993112]

Yes. Except that words cannot be male or female, only living things can. Words are masculine or feminine. It's a grammatical category, not a biological one.

[1dnana]

Oh yes. I didn't know of this rule when I got it wrong, but now have a reason to feel I shouldn't have gotten it wrong in the first place. -<>-

[Christoph55835]

@vanjonsson: I think both answers are accepted, as long as the adjective correctly agrees with the noun مُعَلِّمٌ/مُعَلِّمَةٌ. Maybe I got 1dnana's question wrong.

[1dnana]

I don't think you did. : )

I could have, though. Replies here have helped me make sense of the general rule. That's enough : )

[AliDolat]

Soke words qre inherently male or female, for example car is a femqle gender word, even though it's an object. In arabic a word is eother masculine or feminine. Some words you change on the base of the himan you're referring to. İf it's a female you add the "t" sound and ة to the end

[Wobjam]

What does 'easy teacher' mean in this context?

[MargaretBo781581]

I am not getting the concept of male /female .I understand the ''spoken Arabic'' rather than the written

[SylviaCondor]

In the English sentence it doesn't state that the teacher is male so the female teacher option should be accepted as equally valid
