"هَل جاكيتَك جَديد يا سام؟"

Translation: Is your jacket new, Sam?

[AlexandreJourno]

هَل جاكيتَك جَديد?
Is your jacket new ?

هَل جاكيتَك الجَديد?
Is it your new jacket ?

هَل جاكيتَك?
Is it your jacket

Is that right ? (sorry for the reverse "?")

From what we've been told by more knowledgeable students, I think you're exactly right. It would be nice to have it confirmed though.
Also, I heard that intrusive A after جاكيتك again. PLEASE could someone tell me if it's a fault, or correct pronunciation?

[Away54]

It should be "Jaakiituka" if we follow Standar Grammar (or "Jakiitak" if we use some dialects) -- and not "Jaakiitaka", which is a combination between Standard and some Dialect.

So, for example - "is it your jacket?" will be:

هل هو جاكيتك؟

"hal huwa jaakiituka?" / "hal huwa jakiituk? " if we follow Standard Grammar (or "hal huwa jakiitak?" if we apply some dialects).

When questionizing it is correct pronounciation.

thank you!!

Jacket is pronounced very poorly :(

[kokagejone]

I've been wondering about the /kye/ in jacket (i.e., why it isn't /kee/). It doesn't seem represented in the spelling, but it's consistent in the pronunciation.

[yasabes987]

what's the difference between "is your jacket new Sam?" and "is your new jacket Sam?"

[MANUEL969273]

What in arabic would be the difference between the English Do you have a new jacket Sam(marked wrong)and Is your jacket new Sam?? (Right)

[KatieC993112]

I think "Do you have a new jacket" would be - hal rindak jakeeta jadida ia sam? - and "Is your jacket new Sam?" would be - hal jakeetak jadida, ia sam?. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

[Away54]

(1) For "Do you have a new jacket, Sam?",

هل عندك جاكيت جديد يا سام؟

"hal 3indak jaakiit jadiid yaa saam?"

(2) For "Is your jacket new, Sam?", you're correct (if we use some dialect).

[KatieC993112]

Thank you, my friend.

[Away54]

You're welcome, no problem at all :)

[KatieC993112]

Thank you again. I see I'd made "jacket" feminine. I think it's probably because in French it's feminine. How stupid of me. And how diplomatic of you not to mention it!

[Away54]

It is also correct to make جاكيت feminine. You may hear some Arabs say, "هل جاكيتك جديدة؟" :))

[KatieC993112]

Wow! That's interesting. Thanks.
