"كَيْف اَلْعَمَل؟"

Translation: How is work?

[MarkusKeto1]

Why is "How is the work" wrong, when there is ال in the work..... أخخخخخ

[phuvtuo]

Because you can't say "How is the work" in English. We say "How is work".

[Hoppity3]

You can : I might say 'I hate my new job, colleagues are unfriendly and it's too far away'. You could ask '(but) how is the work?'

[Away54]

For anyone who is wondering about the meaning of the آخخخخخ expression, it means "Ugh" or "Yuck".

[KatieC993112]

Thank you, Away54. Is it pronounced with a prolonged خ ? As opposed to ههههه , where each ه represents a syllable?

[MarkusKeto1]

Prolonged خ

[KatieC993112]

Many thanks for responding, MarkusKeto, to what might seem to be a trivial question (of course I don't think it is). But would you say it expresses disgust, as in yuck, or rage? or despair?

[Bonjour689181]

When we ask a person, How is work? It is tacitly implied that we are asking about his or her work. Therefore, How is YOUR work? is correct and should be accepted.

[MuizzW]

Wouldn't that be كيف عملك?
