"كَيْف اَلْعائِلة يا بوب؟"

Translation: How is your family, Bob?

[Ahmed317108]

I believe that "how is the family, Bob" should also be accepted.

I've heard it said like that in English, too--"how's the family? How's the wife? How are the kids?"

[indeed_danish]

It accepted that. I just submitted it.

[Aiman167337]

Yep, the Arabic says "how is the family." It should have a Kaf so it is 3aa2ilatak to make it "how is your family."

[NeerIlin]

I agree - Although the speaker speaks to Bob (and thus it is Bob's family), the translation is how is THE family.

Wtf?????

[cumhurgurleyen]

How is the family is
right correct
Or we need to say عائلتك

[MattDuffy8]

The translation is incorrect. It should be “How is the family, Bob?”

[Professeur865337]

Where is the possessive adjective here ?

[Anthony_Bont_Bzh]

I understand that rhe meaning in english is
How is your family but
In arabic you put it :
How is the family
Which is rather incorrect literally in english neither may be the possesive in arabic... i am not native of any of both languages but i know that the traduction is often a bit tricky and matter of context and practice.

Pourquoi 'your' il est ecrit ' la famille'
