"أَيْن بَيْتَك يا سام؟"

Translation: Where is your house, Sam?

[safa.orhan]

Should not it be ayna baytuka... Bayt is the mubtadaa of the sentence, no?

[momobrika]

Yes, I believe so

[SnarkieHijabi]

"wayn" is a Lebanese slag for "where" Im assuming; like "waynek?" (where are you?) I never heard "ayn" till duolingo.

[arabmouni]

Yeah, exactly. Ayn is used in Jordan and other countries though. I personally like "wayn" better.....but then again, I'm Lebanese.

[RashidWeek]

Ayna (أين) is from the classical Arabic (اللغة العربية الفصحى).

[Albarro5]

You're right

[KatieC993112]

Now the intrusive a follows "ayn". It looks to me like euphony. Is that right, please, Arab speakers? You seem to accept "ayna", even though it's not written thus.
