"أَنْتِ غَريبة جِدّاً يا كَري."

Translation: You are very weird, Carrie.

[Jenny716797]

Why is one of the first phrases we learn is to call someone weird??

[FiKG8a]

Yes, it seems that it's Duo that's weird. It's a slang meaning for ghariib

[TunggulHut]

Poor Carrie!

[ronaldaave]

Yes poor Carrie

[Ibrahim26131]

Gharib can be used as "unusual", "extrange", and even for "Foreigner"

[AlifIbrahim]

Weird sentence tho...

[AbuHurayrah]

Translates as
جملة غريبة
in Arabic

[Simon77957]

Wait 'till you learn what to say to Karen

[phuvtuo]

I had no idea how true this was until later in the course. Seriously, just wait for it.........

[ShanawazSheikh]

Trust me. You don't know how weird Carrie is until you've seen Carrie (1976).

[MoshrofaBu]

Why does it have to say wierd

[deactivated user]

أنتَ غريب جدًّا يا دُوو Should be like this

[aiwart]

Seriously,I think this word has another meaning.It does not make sense to call everyone and everything weird

[mansoor_geelani]

عجيب is wierd غريب is not weird

[hindisikhn]

In Farsi, with Arabic loanwords the expression ghariib-o-3ajiib is used!

[AniOhevYayin]

Interesting. Have a lingot. In the following link, one person says عجيب means 'weird' while another says غريب: https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/3362073 Then the following discussion indicates that the words are synonyms, sort of like weird and eccentric in English: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/%D8%B9%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%A8-%D8%BA%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A8.3772198/

[me.justme]

is it wrong if i translate is as "you are so weird, Carrie" ?

[IrfanAliHy]

Why is only one of many meanings of غریب being reinforced?

[AbuHurayrah]

It can mean strange, anomalous, foreign, exotic, and other synonyms.

[MujoKujo]

I answered right why it considered wrong

[Kaushik674775]

Why is there a sound of "gareeba" "tun" after غريبة

[YellowScoo]

Agree, very weird to call someone weird, but I am glad someone put the other meanings, exotic, foreign, etc.

[gideon747]

I am learning Arabic in order to improve my relationship with my fellow workers. My feeling is that if I use this expression I may land up being knifed.

[Lavender55_]

Duo, please, no hard feelings on our first lesson here.

[deactivated user]

Do adjectives follow NPs?

[ReeseNguyen2022]

Carrie you're a queen keep doing you

[mc0re]

So Carrie is a masculine name?..

[rhezalubis]

انتِ refers to feminine

[AniOhevYayin]

Also the ending of غَريبة indicates feminine. I think masc would be غريب

[Glittery_Diya]

Its wrong for Duolingo to teach us sentences that hurt others. They continuously keep calling someone weird
