"هَل غَسّان مُهَنْدِس هولَنْدِيّ؟"

Translation: Is Ghassan a Dutch engineer?

[Blake309722]

So if it's a "yes/no" question then هَل is placed at the beginning of the question?

[taisbastani]

Yes, exactly

[Blake309722]

Thanks for clarifying. I saw that you have reached 897 days of daily language practice on duolingo and for that, I give you three lingots… That's mind-boggling!

[shanzay89]

[Anaam744249]

Hi!shanzay, yes i have an application to translate all languages. It helps me a lot. You can download it and translate anything you want called Google translate.

[rahmat144hasan]

Hy can you help me ??

[Anaam744249]

Yes, I can:)

[taisbastani]

oh, that's so nice! thanks! <3

[Hasan378170]

Yes you are correct. Arabic does not really have a word for "is" when your describing something (ex. This is nice) except when you are asking a question.

[Blake309722]

Thank you for the clarification! Here, have a lingot.

"Hal" is used for what?!

[alaidi514]

For the question

[Alexander649605]

Its used in asking a 'Do' question.. eg, Do you understand.. Hal Tafahum

[Hisouki]

I found that using the word 'Architect' for both famine and masculine Arabic of 'Engineer' is correct too.
