"شادي مُتَرجِم تونِسِيّ."

Translation: Shadi is a Tunisian translator.

Why is there an un between the word for translator and the word for Tunisia?

[MarksAaron]

The -un is a grammatical ending that goes on nouns (and adjectives to agree) that shows that the noun is indefinite and in the nominative case (which means it's being described or is performing an action). It's optional though in spoken Arabic, and it's not even written most of the time in these exercises, so I kinda wish they hadn't introduced it :/

I thought Shadi was a Syrian doctor?

[W_U_R]

I'm afraid not.........

[Merrie363937]

Sometimes autocorrect corrects the name and i end up getting it incorrect.

[MichelleDa878143]

That used to happen to me too, so I started putting a space after my last letter. Now I can proofread everything and not have autocorrect change things on me.

[sfelipesan777]

Shouldn't there be a little grace when I just forget the word "a"

[MichelleDa878143]

Unfortunately, English requires the word "a".

[CQToo]

YES!! :(

[Dmitry_Sof]

I got confused, I thought Shadi is female name?

[123_uranus_123]

People's surnames are chady and in Arabic they write it the same way as shadi

[Shivaadh]

Does the Arabic mean Shadi translates Tunisian into/from another language, or does it mean that Shadi has the Tunisian nationality and his profession is translator (which is what the English grammar implies)?

[SantoshLam]

By the time now, I must have understood that there is no provision of auxiliary verb and article in Arabic. Great! Anybody anything to say?

[Aaisha3210]

It gave me wrong only because i did not put 'a'

[orkhan.aliyev]

Please, please, please dont count missing article as a mistake in English. I dont actually learn English, I learn Arabic. Autocorrect it.
