"اَلْمُعَلِّم جَيِّد."

Translation: The teacher is good.

[PatMiFi]

Why not "The good teacher."?

[rhuseinh]

It'll be معلم جيد

[PhilippePlaton]

"The good teacher" would rather be المعلم الجيد , I believe

[arabmouni]

This is the correct answer. Ignore everyone else above. In Arabic, if a definite noun is followed by a definite adjective, there wouldn't be an "is". "ilbaab iljameel" = "the pretty door". "ilbaab jameel" = "the door is pretty" and "baab jameel" = "a pretty door".

[HaroldGarr6]

[NafriUC2]

[PatMiFi]

and what would be then "A good teacher."? ;)

[Santiago_G18]

I think it actually is just that Duolingo should allow that answer, report it.

[rhuseinh]

You think wrong.

[Ali1888]

A good teacher
معلم جيد
Mu3allim Jayyid
without (Al, the definite article
المعلم الجيد
With the definite article (Al) both on the noun and adjective
In Arabic adjective must follow the noun in m/f. Sing. /pl. and definite article

المعلم جيد
Would be
The teacher is good

[RahmaSaid10]

I agree. I got this wrong, and I am really annoyed about it!!

[EndangMene]

That's my question too. So anyone explain it??

[Crossmount]

For the good teacher المعاّمُ الجديّدُ
The teacher is good المعلًّم جيّد
A good teacher معاّمٌ جديّدٌ
Is this right?

[arabmouni]

Correct.

[Sameer643882]

1) The good teacher.
2) good teacher.
3) teacher is good.
4) the teacher is good.
