"كَري مِن أَلْمانْيا يا روزا."

Translation: Carrie is from Germany, Rosa.

[ZelieZazou]

َأَلْمانْيا sounds very much like the French word for Germany, Allemagne.

[VremyaXolodtsa]

It was most likely borrowed from the Romance languages into Arabic.

[Julin985712]

It's quite possible, in Spanish the name for Germany is Alemania

[FabrcioOli880944]

And "Alemanha" in Portuguese.

[duddubbz]

Is Rosa the name of a person or a place in this sentence?

[GandAlfSal]

The "يا" before Rosa's name indicates that she is being addressed - therefore: "Carrie is from Germany, Rosa"/"Rosa, Carrie is from Germany"

[Mmf1GRG3]

Thanks. This didn't make sense to me at first.

[SoftlyJazzMadrid]

'Rosa' is a girl's name which comes up again and again in this course.

[kirfank]

يا can be translated as 'hey'

[Ahm3dRN]

يا is used to call some one
it's a Vocative tool
example: يا مُحَمَّد= Hey, Mohamed.

[redearth329]

Stop pronouncing the tanwiin on the terminal alif of proper names!

[Hazelit]

Why does the 1st Alif Sound like ‘ma’? There is no ‘double’ fatha’over the Alif.

[habee6ah]

It means that someone is telling rosa that carrie is from germany

[VlandroV]

Here, somebody z telling Rosa that Carrie z from Germany.

[TWeltkrieg]

Soo a proper semantic translation would be "Hey Rosa, Carrie is from Germany", right? It seems ambigous at first because there actually is a german town called Rosa. Why is يا روزا not at the beginning of the sentence then?

[MirieLitva]

It is not clear. Germany Rosa? What does it mean

[MichelleDa878143]

Read the discussion notes.
Someone is talking to Rosa about Carrie.

[TomKnowles69]

Can somebody please explain the character لما?

[Amithablani]

So Rosa is name.. I though its Russia.

[pierre589280]

That s un error the sentence is a non dense...must be corrected please

[ocousin]

No meaning.

[MichelleDa878143]

The speaker is talking to Rosa about Carrie.

[baluch123]

Carrie is from garmany rosa

[nigel740581]

Tricky... Carrie min.... Karim min.... Hmmm

[Adiba63603]

Country name is pronounced differently, why?

[NVLz17]

No my not from German

[pitty620380]

I hear karim. NOT carrie.
