"كَيْف اَلْعائِلة يا بوب؟"

Translation: How is your family, Bob?

[Ahmed317108]

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

[AnUnicorn]

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.

[MattDuffy8]

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

[efendibey]

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

[JamesCohn1]

I met an Iraqi, who told me that asking "how is the family"?. is an euphemism for asking" how is your wife?" since it is socially and culturally unacceptable to ask that question directly. Is that the common understanding in Arabic speaking countries?

[JohanDelac354009]

please change that !!!!!!

the family ! not your family

[Professeur1.6]

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'

[simosoual]

كيف حال اسرتك يا بوب
What do you think about this

[m0hammedz1]

❤❤❤?????

[suekirkpat2]

I am going back over several lessons to see how much I can remember but I am confused because the Arabic is written differently eg the yeh eg yeh Bob. And the J is different to how it was first shown so the shapes of words are not the same. Don’t know what to do

[DrAbdulSat1]

Where is the possessive form in 'ayilath'
