"هٰذِهِ مَدينة قَديمة وَمُهِمّة."

Translation: This is an old and important city.

[John222384]

I really wish their English were better - This is an old and an important city is marked incorrect - give me a break!

[bingav]

That's not correct in English. The indefinite article is only used once when the noun is written once but there are multiple adjectives. For example, "This is a red, big, and bouncy ball" (as opposed to "a red, a big, and a bouncy ball"). However, if the noun is repeated you would repeat the article: "This is a red ball and a bouncy ball."

Maybe improve your English first?

[hectorlqr]

هٰذا vs. هٰذِهِ?

[Hiba.X]

the word مدينة is a feminine noun in Arabic so هذه is the correct answer.

[rbbekkhus]

How should I pronounce هِ? And then the whole word هٰذِهِ?

[BaghdadBri1]

This city is old and important should also be correct!

[arsa.khari]

No, it would be هٰده المدينة قديمة ومهمة, you need to add the ال before the word مدينة

[Michael909009]

Exactly. But what do you expect from developers that don't even match a correct sound file to a character graphic and in numerous cases didn't even upload the sound file we were supposed to listen to to select the correct matching character graphic.

[bingav]

Why is مدينة being pronounced madin (and not madina)?

[Michael909009]

Why would "This city is old and important." Be wrong? In other lessons i have done using the descriptor in the fashion the was correct in the instance was wrong.
