"اَلْمُهَنْدِسة مُهَنْدِسة غَريبة."

Translation: The engineer is a weird engineer.

[8dexgqAn]

The structure of the sentence is WEIRD... I would say : the engineer is weird...

[MuqtasidHu]

Why is muhandisa there twice?

[AlanBaker519]

Maybe it's like - this engineer is a strange engineer? Idk I'm just guessing

[CarstenLu]

Exactly. The first المُهَنْدِسَةُ is the subject of the sentence, the second مُهَنْدِسَةٌ together with the adjective ‘weird’ and the omitted ‘is’ is a predicate describing the subject.

It is a bit weird to repeat the noun but I guess they want to show the different case endings in this lesson. A noun loses nunation when the definite article is added.

To complete a sentence..

1st muhandisa for "The engineer " And 2nd for "engineer"

۲-مهندس

Is anyone else missing the first "m" after the "al"? On my computer it seems to be happening every time there is a word like this

[haiku1941]

This kind of phrase is frankly stupid, we should be learning phrases which are useful

[.KamalAhmed]

I'm really getting sick of unnatural sentences. Can anyone please tell Duolingo to use natural sentencs that are used in real life conversation?

[Zarilbek]

Wtf with these weird engineers

[HusainaChh1]

What i would say this engineer is weird

[theaguy]

Doesnt غریب meana unknown or somone who is new to somewere?

[jjh2000]

It means strange or weird. I guess it could work to mean "unknown" depending on the context it's used in.
