"هُوَّ ابْنَك وَهُوَّ غَريب جِدّاً يا سام."

Translation: He is your son and he is very weird, Sam.

[tari.witha.hou]

Poor Sam

[phuvtuo]

He could stop wearing skirts.

[Maimunah296026]

My relatives talking about me :(

[phuvtuo]

Why? What kind of weird are you?

[DuoLiNxo]

Hentai prolly

[Hsn626796]

Now,

The separate word ( ابنَك ), when chosen , sounds Egyptian ( with a silent ك )

However, when played, the sentence says ( كَ-.. ), which indicates MSA.

[Fred105807]

Thanks ! I have been wondering why sometimes it is pronounced as -k and sometimes it is -ka

[Anon.User20]

So basically the sentence should be under the section: How to offend somebody.

[GINA291875]

A good line for a family intervention

[jinusam]

I'm in this sentence and I don't like it.

[AliceLepar]

What is it with all the weirdness?? I find that "weird" is a word that comes up strangely often in this arabic course! Isn't it weird?

[JimeoWan]

Your dog is weird and your son is weird and your car is weird and your door is famous

[SCwAlR]

Yeap. What does "weird" mean in this course's vocabulary? Is it a bad translation?

[GeoffreyHa61650]

such a rude thing to say!

[ThereseDrum]

Is it just me, or did they really speed this one up?

[Loving_inch]

[DonRamiresz]

What means MSA?

[billy342999]

Modern Standard Arabic

[sarah568514]

Nothing

[Away54]

هُوَ ابنُكَ وهُوَ غرِيْبٌ جِدّاً يا سامُ.

"huwa ibnuka wa huwa gharib(un) jiddan yaa saam."

Dear, Mr(s) Downvoters Without Any Feedback, what's wrong with my comment? Why do you downvote it? Please, give some feedback which you never give it to someone else before!

[william977561]

why does the word weird now have an extra syllable at the end?

[Loving_inch]

I'm not sure what do you mean by now but... It has to have the syllable UN at the end "ghareebun". Why? Arabic has this thing called 'I'RAB where suffixes are added to most of the words, Read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BEI%CA%BFrab
Ok, as mentioned in the Wiki page, these thingies don't appear in any spoken dialect. So this where we get the conclusion that Duolingo teaches messed up Arabic cuz as you can see some words are pronounced with 'I'RB, and some aren't in the audio /:
(sry for my English)

[Away54]

Loving_inch,

Some I'RABs revealed by Duolingo are not correct. There are also some 'extra sounds' that are actually audio glitches.

Yes, it is. In Dialect/Slangs, ending sounds are omitted. (It is not surprising if some native speakers don't know about some of the ending sounds).

[TalhaHasib]

Is it worth to suspect me for using "&" instead of "and"..

[berko0o]

So = very

[yeet142368]

Why is strange instead of weird, wrong?

[Mo.Joodh]

I didn't write the comma and i got it wrong..

[sara527322]
