[tasyona]

If you have own a cat you are

[Adel562161]

Cutest phrase yet.

[JayJackJohnson]

Is this an Arabic expression or just a Duolingo-y sentence?

[Sikeryali]

The latter.

[Marwan.AL-AKKAD]

It is NOT an Arabic expression at all

[NumanUbaid]

Yeah

[Error404_Deleted]

No. It's a Duolingo-sentence

[Sean_Roy]

My cat has many chairs; I am merely one of them.

[Hans696562]

U will understand if u had a cat

[Szaf16]

You are the cats everything, silly.

[Alshfik]

Strange sentence... I know it makes sense and has a simile-like meaning, but the lack of context in addition to the second-person viewpoint makes it weird.

[Marwan.AL-AKKAD]

I guess it is the first-person viewpoint in this case

[mz_mudabbir]

Best sentence so far

[virtualriver]

All cats see its hooman as its chair/bed/slave...

[fred91883]

To learn new grammar aren't there more meaningful sentences?...

[ShahMansoor]

I am cat's sofa

[GreyPatton]

نعم

[fekundulo]

Sometimes I'm the cat's toilet seat.

[vsandl]

Why isn't it al-kursi al-qita ?

[Marwan.AL-AKKAD]

kursi al-qita: the cat's chair
al-kursi al-qita : (this is unusual it means the chair itself is a cat, just as you say "batman" means the man is a bat as well)

[Marwan.AL-AKKAD]

usually, when you use two substantives, the first one is always undefined, the second one could be either undefined or defined

[HopeforAll1]

Am i the cat's chair: هل انا كرسي القطة

[world38]

I can't understand why Duolingo makes silly sentences when we have so many meaningful sentences to learn !

[kia75789]

Sorry a doubt......
But the regular English form for "kursi al qitta" shouldn't be "the cat chair" without the gen. sax. form " 's"?

[maria_jcb]

No, the 's is really necessary. It's not a compound word (like kitchen table), but a genitive construction. You can replace the cat with a pronoun: "This is the cat and this is its chair". So the chair is owned (maybe figuratively) by the cat. And genitive constructions are formed with 's. Does that clarify? :)

[Abdiallah]

What the hell is this phrase?
Is there someone asks like that?

[turdakhun]

what a logic !!!!

[Deborah007-Iwish]
