"هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ مِن أَمْسْتِرْدام."

Translation: He is Dutch from Amsterdam.

[StevenWest12]

This sentence is grammatically incorrect in English; it should be: "He is Dutch and from Amsterdam."

[DAWUD_]

Exactly, was thinking the same thing. The English translation is incorrect. Not sure if it should be "He is a Dutchman from Amsterdam." or "He is Dutch and from Amsterdam."

[11Mars43]

or : he is a Dutch from Amsterdam

[benton.1]

We don't say "He is a Dutch from Amsterdam" in English. We say "He is a Dutchman from Amsterdam." We could also say "He is Dutch and from Amsterdam", but that is a different sentence.

[phuvtuo]

"a Dutch" is not grammatical English because "Dutch" is an adjective.

[frEule1]

thank u!

[Law106672]

Or add the comma:
"He is Dutch, from Amsterdam."

Or add the conjunction:
"He is Dutch and from Amsterdam."

Or use a the noun form rather than the adjective:
"He is a Dutchman from Amsterdam."

[William487205]

Well, Dutch can be a collective noun: The Dutch are very tall. But I don't think it can be a singular noun: "That Dutch is very tall" would need to be "That Dutchman is very tall." The translation would be more natural sounding with a comma: He is Dutch, from Amsterdam.

[NurenYama]

هو
is normally writte without shadda

[Juha165594]

There should not be a 'Shadda' on the waw.
Should be هوَ not هوَّ
..right?

[Ummrayhana1]

نعم

[yayugai]

is it incorrect to say "dutch person" - does "hollandii" not imply "person"?

[benton.1]

We say he is a "Dutchman" in English, or he is Dutch. We could say he is a "Dutch person", it is not grammatically incorrect, but people wouldn't usually say it that way.

[friendlynaveed]

What nationality is he? Where is he from? He is Dutch, from Amsterdam.

[DonRamiresz]

Does anybody know when you use ْ above a letter? Is there any specific rule for it?

[benton.1]

In vowelled text, the sukuun is written over a consonant to show that no vowel follows it.

[Mel725869]

_

[paisia7]

عفواً in arabic means sorry or excuse me

[benton.1]

It also means "you're welcome" as a response to "thank you".

[Mike242738]

Where is the extra "ēē" coming from on the end of Amsterdam and how are we to know when to use it?

[Aybars-K]

"He is a Dutch from Amsterdam" also correct, should be accepted

[Hanna289840]

Hi Duo, could you fix this mistake? It keeps popping up repeatedly

[SadiaAafre3]

The English translation is not correct

[Mursalin.Niloy]

Why not "He is a Dutch from Amsterdam"?
