"سامْية بِنْت عَرَبِيّة ذَكِيّة."

Translation: Samia is a smart Arab girl.

[Mavi838371]

Yes, why "Arabic" wrong?

[djmcosmo]

Arabic more accurately describes the language, while "Arab" is an adjective to describe the PERSON.

[Pieczony]

Why I hear "tee" between every word?

[SallyBrown360160]

Is this Classic Arabic pronounciation? Also why was Arabic (girl) rejected? I think it would be okay in English.

[Hussein_1996_ly]

The pronunciation is terreble.
You don't say it that way

[ChickenRunner02]

So how do you say it? I thought it was /saamyaa bint(un) 3arabiyya(tun) dhakiyya/.

[JasonVoorheess]

You're right

[AuroraMcGr]

When I tap the bint button, it doesn't have a word.

[Errahaoui]

Why is writing 'arabic' wrong?

[phuvtuo]

Because for people we use Arab not Arabic.

[Kracjusz]

Why writing "arabic" instead of "arab" is wrong

[ChickenRunner02]

Arabic is a language; Arab is an adjective that you can use to describe a person.

[Paul623303]

Does "smart" mean well dressed or intelligent?

[ChickenRunner02]

dhakiyy means clever. And DL always uses American English so it uses 'smart' to mean clever.

[phuvtuo]

Um....we do have the word clever in American English.

[teachingtinzy]

The English translation in missing for girl in all these sentences

[VlandroV]

Is it Girl or Daughter?
