"رُزَّك طَيِّب جِدّاً يا عُمَر."

Translation: Your rice is very good, Omar.

What is the difference in meaning of Tayyab and Jayyad.

[tsuj1g1r1]

Tayyib refers specifically to taste and odour. jayyid is more general. If you use "jayyid" to refer to food, it sounds less extreme than "tayyib":

• هذا الطعام طيب = This food is tasty.

• هذا الطعام جيد = This food is not bad.

[WeronikaMa9]

In the accusstive case tanwin fatha should be written before alif.

[tsuj1g1r1]

Depends where you are in the Arab world. In the Levant, the standard is to write it on the alif, but elsewhere, it's like you said it should be. :)

[kkhawaja2572]

And i thought that Jayyid was used in preference for people. Is that correct?

[tsuj1g1r1]

When you say a person is "Tayyib," that means they are "kind."

[JaysonHaile]

Since "Tayyib" means "tasty" for food, if you were to call a person "Tayyib" is that considered pejorative or provocative or inappropriate in any way?

[tsuj1g1r1]

Nope, Arabs still think of physical attraction and desire to commit cannibalism as two distinct states of being. Which makes sense, because طيب refers to food being tasty in a way that is wholesome rather than decadent; not every instance of "tasty" in English is best translated to طيب in Arabic.

[kkhawaja2572]

Thanks... but here the only translation given is "Good"

[tsuj1g1r1]

In reference to food, that's what it means.

[B0tros]

Shouldn't it be رزُكَ since here it is خبر

[Away54]

B0tros,

Yes, it should be with Damma -- رزُّكَ "ruzzuka" but is 2al-mubtada2 (and not khabar).

[Away54]

(1)

رُزُّكَ طيبٌ جداً يا عمرُ.

رز : Dialect

(2)

أَرُزُّكَ طيبٌ جداً يا عمرُ.

أرز : Standard equaled

[Mercedes450988]

Pronunciation: it sounds like there is an "a" sound between ruzzak and Taiyyib. Is that normal?
