"أَنْتِ مِن فَرَنْسا يا روزا."

Translation: You are from France, Rosa.

Based on previous sentences, I'm guessing its Anta for males snd Anti for females? Can anyone confirm?

[IreneCelli]

Yes, you're right

[lilbasedthebgod]

is there a gender neutral way of addressing this?

[KatieC993112]

No. Just as in eg French, you're obliged to choose between saying, "tu es intelligent" or "tu es intelligente". Or in Russian, "ты умный" or "ты умная". Nothing halfway. It's only English that doesn't have gender, except for third person singular pronouns, as far as I can think. I admit, it's extra-special of Arabic to genderise the 2nd person pronoun. I'd be interested to know if anyone knows of other languages that do this?

[lilbasedthebgod]

I know Mandarin has no/minimal gendering. in Spanish there is the unofficial -e ending (e.g. Latine). thanks for responding! I've seen a lot of your comments and they've helped provide some much appreciated context.

[KatieC993112]

And thanks for your response!

[MarksAaron]

That's correct :)

[KatieC993112]

You're GUESSING, toffee1141? Isn't it one of the first things we were taught? Or perhaps you haven't got access to the TIPS? In which case, I take my hat off to you for inferring all the rules from the exercises.

[Grimaldy45948]

Would it be possible for the forum to use larger characters?
It is extremely difficult to read the small calligraphy and the diacritical marks.

[macatmil]

Would it be different if it were a question: Are you from France, Rosa?

[Grimaldy45948]

Yes. The sentence would have to begin with an interrogatory word, " هل ".
That comes up in later lessons.

[KatieC993112]

Thank you, Grimaldy45948.

[KatieC993112]

Yes, I wish someone would answer macatmil's question.

[MichaelR.D4]

Why is anti being pronounced as ant?

[Grimaldy45948]

The diacritical mark below the last letter (ta) changes the pronunciation to "tee".

[osanos98]

can someone explain the يا?

[zak940616]

it means like "oh rosa" or "hey rosa". its not really something we do in english.

[areopagiten]

You are an You're are the same thing

[mgaristova]

I am also curious about the difference between أَنْتَ and أَنْتِ

[osanos98]

anta - referring to male
anti - reffering to female

[Grimaldy45948]

You have to look carefully at the little diacritical mark on the last letter. Above the letter adds "a", below the letter adds "ii".

[akryzek1497]

it was ok @@!!

[_ijas_]

What's the difference between 2inti (إنتِ) and 2anti (أنتِ)
I hear the former one but it is shown the the latter
Somebody have the same issue?

[Playbox5]

I didn't put the-, for real?
