"Carrie is from Germany, Rosa."

Translation: كَري مِن أَلْمانْيا يا روزا.

[AnnikaHenson]

If you're confused about the يا before rosa: just because it's not translated directly doesn't mean it's not important. It's more like a grammatical marker that shows you're directly addressing a certain person. You're talking TO rosa ABOUT carrie.

Thanks this makes sense.

[asifsahab1]

Thanks

Isn't it ok without 'ya'?

[_FiX_]

in proper Arabic grammar, there has to be a ya.

[Anaam744249Anaam]

No ،We do not use it in colloquial Arabic

[_FiX_]

'proper Arabic grammar' i.e., MSA or Classical

[OmarKhaled5509]

It is.

[lemantrak]

Pronunciation sounds “Almaaniya” but shouldn’t it be “Almaanya” ?

[tiff904023]

if you want me to translate Ya Rosa, you should put Oh Rosa

[kTIz17]

There was no indication thqt the ya was needed

[Abdulmajid449588]

The Ya is abit confusing and where to put it. But Iam getting much.

[369oguz]

Wow now i understand why in islamic stories people always call them with starting "ya"

[AlvinishaA]

Ya it is like a complement ?

[Lavender55_]

Carrie really isn't a common name in Germany, is it?

[tanvirhass5]

Ya means 'oh', but that word is not part of he sentence given?

[Anaam744249Anaam]

Yes ,يا to get someone's attention like Hey Rosa

[ph.AArT0X]

Thanks this makes my arbic more gorgeous

[Lizardman202]

Legit the previous question to this was without the "ya" and it was correct. Which isnthenonly reason i didnt put it, thats so annoying
