"هٰذِهِ جارَتها روزا."

Translation: This is her neighbor Rosa.

[dio_rgenes]

In this case, Rosa is the name of her neighbor, instead of the person I'm talking to, right?

[Walid.S]

You can change the suffix "ha" with another name.
Here you are talking about a person related to another person

[krellkey]

diobsb, yes.
This course has been pretty consistent about using ي when we are addressing someone by their name: if I were talking with my friend Rosa about our friend Samia, and Samia's neighbor walked up to us, I might say هٰذه
جارتها، ي روزا
vs if I were talking with my friend George about our friend Rania (who lives next door to a Rosa), and Rosa walked up to us, I might say the given sentence.
(At least, I think that's how it works...)

?ي

[KatieC993112]

But we've been taught "ya" when addressing someone. Is ي from a different dialect?

[KatieC993112]

What's this ي ?

Yes, exactly
