And finally, After a month of this app, daily. I know how to say "My name is"
Lmaooo i was thinking the same. Duolingo almost tricked me into believing that i was impatient.
Tell me about it. Anyone else frustrateded that Duolingo keeps testing knowledge of the alphabet rather than teaching words? I honestly would like to know, cos I think it's ok to repeat the alphabet if most users need it (but if they don't, I am really annoyed!)
My understanding is that this is a beginner's course, so yes as a beginner i do need the practise...although i find it so random that it's hard to follow......as a beginner i dont know if they are words or just sounds. I think it would have been better to have them all at the beginning of the course...and if you are good at it you just skip over to the next level to stop having to repeat them...
I love how a sentence starting "اِسْمي" sounds like "It's me…!" (which makes the sentence slightly cuter, and the phrase easy to learn/remember. :)
I have a question: tons of people said that MSA uses different forms than Duolingo teaches (I mean اِسْمُكِ instead of اِسْمِك for example). Is this version of "my" correct in MSA?
No, the "uka" or "ak" ending is for the masculine "you" when you are speaking to a male. The "uki" or "ik" ending is for the feminine "you" when you are speaking to a female. The "ii" ending means "my"
Thank you very much it explains a lot of comments I saw around this issue
Most people aren't seen praising themselves, it's not just an Arab and Muslim thing lol.
I've learned I can say باِسمي (bismi) to say "my name is". When should I use thre ب in the beginning?
