"كَيْفَك؟"
Translation:How are you?

Yeah, whenever i learned how to say "how are you?", I learned كَيف حالِك/ حالَك for MSA. Where do they say this, and why is it not كَيفُكَ ?

Pardon me,
Correction: if we follow Standard, the sentence is:
(1) kaifa Haaluka? (masc.) : كيفَ حالُكَ
(2) kaifa Haaluki? (fem.) : كيفَ حالُكِ
It is Haaluka/ki with Damma because the case is nominative, as المبتدأ.
Nb: in Standard, Haalak is in the accussative case while Haalik is in the genitive case.
كيف حالك .. وليس كيفك .. There is nothing called كيفك كيف حالك واللفظ خاطئ جدا

شكرا على جهودكم لكن طريقة التعليم غير جيدة و ارجو اعادة النظر في تعليم اللغة العربية بطريقة افضل .
This beta course is so far disappointing in it's inconsistency. Teaching كيفك but also pronouncing all the case endings throughout the entire course? Are we learning MSA or a colloquial dialect? Please pick one.
