"a new house"

Translation: بَيت جَديد

[urielcantarero]

Seems like sometimes the word order is reversed, other times it's not. How can we tell when to reverse the order?

[Niloofar304005]

Jadid is an adjective
Bayt is a noun
In arabic, the noun comes first, on the right
Then comes the adjective
بیت جدید
بیت کبیر
باب عظیم

[gshacklebolt]

Yes please someone explain this, i'm very confused.

[mahjabeen677865]

In arabic adjective comes after the noun i.e. bait jadid

How do you pronounce "house" in arabic? And what are the letters for it?

[AfroAbdoulAziz]

You read from right to left <- so the word you search is the one on the right as people would say “house new” so b + a + ii + t are the used letter using the order of pronunciation. Remember : You see them written from the right to the left.

B : ب
and to get a « ba » just see the line : َ
Ba : بَ
Then to add the ii, the letter ي is used, but position changes the aspect of the letter يي those are two ii but the first one is “morphed”
To conclude you add a T (ت)

بَيت (baiit)

[MahmNadeem]

[Hinataswift]

Baiit means house or New? Atleast explain it

[Away54]

بيتٌ جديدٌ

(1) baitun (or bait) = house

(2) jadiidun (or jadiid) = new

So, baitun jadiidun (or bait jadiid) = a new house. Here adjective (jadiid) is put behind the noun (bait).

Wait what? What are the meanings before

[donuts4483]

So I spelt "new" like that : جاديد and it was accepted. But the correct spelling seems to be جَديد meaning short a and not long a. Why was it accepted then ? No typo was even underlined. Is it like both are actually correct ? Like the arabic spelling is somehow a bit flexible. Or is it just a mistake from duolingo ? I'm genuinely curious.
