"عُمَر ذَكِيّ."

Translation: Omar is smart.

[Omar_esta_aqui]

I agree with the sentence

[rodrigogar496159]

Omar is inteligent

[bilaliz]

Omar can be spelled Omer as well

[Saba._u]

Yeah i know, mine was wrong just because of the spelling

[Madeline782215]

I agree

[Bismaa1]

Omar actually has 4 seperate spellings
1. Omar
2. Omer
3. Umer
4. Umar
Depends on which one you use.

What about Amer? (I know a smart person named Amer, actually!)

[BaiddaWillAidda]

That would be عامر, a different name of the same root

[CuriousDispo]

Please, what sound is between Omar and smart?

[Shivaadh]

I think there's no sound between - Arabic doesn't seem to use the verb "to be", at least in the present tense.

If you mean the 'z', it belongs to the word for smart. Some letters just don't join to the left (but that doesn't make them separate words).

[benton.1]

The Arabic word for "smart" begins with the letter "dhaal" not "zaay". The "dh" sounds like the "th" in the word "that". Smart = dhakiyy.

[kcbKCBkcb]

Google translate and other dictionaries have "smart" as ذكي (same but without the diacritics) but the pronunciation seems to be the same. Is this an issue of dialect?

[Bodo666]

I think that is just because the diacritics are commonly left away, not because of this specific word.

[shakar3108]

You can also spell ( omar ) as ( omer ) ....

[banana_kate]

sounded like thakii instead of dhakii sry my transliterating is really bad lol
is it supposed to be that way or am i totally wrong

[benton.1]

In English, we have two sounds for "th"; the "th" in "this" and the "th" in "that". Duolingo uses "dh" to represent the "th" sound in the word "that". You're not "wrong", you're just transliterating your own way. I have seen "TH" used instead of "dh" in some books.

[sundialsmiles]

Would there be a difference in pronunciation if dhakiyy was spelled without the shadda?

[benton.1]

No. The vowel markings are not usually written anyway. My Arabic/English dictionary doesn't even have them.
