Let them eat cake!

Misattributed to her. Apparently Marie Antoinette and Louis the XVI

Part2, thanks Duo for putting the Send button over the dialogue box. Louis XVI & M.A. were apparently too liberal and soft hearted to the populace, but indecisive so the monarchy crumpled. Regardless of politics, apparently MA was a great mother to her surviving children up to her execution

macron is weird too

Why isnt it French queen is weird.

[RajasDaithankar]

Because there are no markers on "Malika" & "Faransiyya" to make them definite. If there were "Al" prefixes to those two, it would make "The French queen is weird" - grammatically proper.
In the present form it can only mean "a weird French queen".

RajasDaithankar, why do you say "case markers"? "Case" (nominative, accusative etc) doesn't come into it, does it? Don't you just mean "markers"? Or have I misunderstood something?

[Hamza_gani]

Yeah

[nandacouty]

Does ir really mean weird??

[DenAntorius]

it can mean strange too, not necessarily weird. you might say "هذا الشخص غريب"
it can mean "this person is strange or weird" or " this person is a stranger"

[Kip_ivas]

A real obsession for "queens" at the arabic course.

[981.YEoOWWOZF6or]

It's not "a", it's "all".
