"هٰذا حَمّام كَبير."

Translation: This is a big bathroom.

[-Joyia-]

Could you also say “this bathroom is big”?

[Raahiba]

I don't think so - I put that and it was wrong. Later in this section there were sentences like that and the noun had 'al' in front: هذا الحمام كبير

[wwsheehan]

so how do you say "this is the big bathroom"?

[JasperMay.]

This is the big bathroom: هذا هو الحمام الكبير.

[DamienLuca1]

Thank you =)

[MatthewSpe914009]

yeah I thought the same thing by mistake!

[vickyzhv]

I think that would be with "al" like Raahiba says

[MountainsMann]

could حمام mean a bath ?
this is a big bath

[NoraRuwa]

Yes

[PhilipBunt1]

How do I know that it is not "This bathroom is big"

[walnutcon]

Because there is no definite article ( ال) in front of the noun حَمّام

هٰذا حَمّام كَبير - This is a big bathroom

هٰذا الحَمّام كَبير - This bathroom is big

[Beth574025]

The translation given was: this bathroom is big. What is wrong with the above?

Is the dagger alif really used in Arabic or only in calligraphy???
