"This is an old living room."

Translation: هٰذا صالون قَديم.

[Hans696562]

Now i am quite confuse.when we use haza..and when do we use hazihi?

[CarstenLu]

Masculine = هذا , feminine = هذه

Living room صالون is masculine, therefore, you use هذا in this example.

[ShamsHasanDL]

How do you know the word is masculine or feminine?

[AriaSwan]

It's just that way, like in other languages. I guess we need to look it up to know for sure

[a59833]

I think that most feminine words end in ة. So mostly you can guess it is feminine if it ends in ة and masculine otherwise. There are exceptions like بنت (daughter) and أم (mother). Fortunately in these cases it is easy to work out because these words actually refer to female people.

[obado]

Could we use غرفة الجلوس here?

[Bouchra191]

Yes it's more correct than صالون

Is there any difference between using Saaluun and ghurfa for room?

[Bouchra191]

The "Saaluun" is a room (bigger than the other rooms) where we welcome and sit with visitors.
For the other rooms we say "ghurfa" like : ghurfat annaum غرفة النَّوْم = bedroom
