"Tamer is a good neighbor."

Translation: تامِر جار جَيِّد.

[MbayeDiop2]

I thougt jayid was new?

[ConchiCastillo]

'New' is جَديد , /ʒa'di:d/[jadīd]. Both جَيِّد and جَديد are quite similar, so it's easy to mix them up.

[Anaam744249]

No it means good

[moshekopolovich]

The writing seems jayyad but the audio sounds jayyid. What's right?

[KhairulAnw11]

There are two marks above the letter 'ya'. The one that looks like 'w' is called syaddah, which signifies double letter. The other mark determine the vocal component, and since it is a line below the syaddah, then it is a 'kasrah' line, denoting the vocal letter 'i'. So it is jayyid, not jayyad. If the line is above the syaddah mark, then it denotes a 'fathah', and will correctly be pronounced jayyad.

Thank you! Good explanation

[VlandroV]

Thanks for your time to explain that jayyId/jayyAd thing. I have just started to study Arabic.

Greetings from Perú.

[JohannesBi820579]

First time "good" was introduced for me...

[Katherine840270]

Why is it translated as "Tamer neighbor good" and not "Tamer good neighbor"?

[Quathia]

In Arabic the adjective comes after the noun, so 'a good neighbour' is 'jaar jayyid'

[gshacklebolt]

Why is Tameer Jaar jayyad correct and tameer jayyad jaar wrong?

[sadiqueAtt1]

Is there an order to it ?

[Sam720928]

The issue with this is there are a couple ways to say this. So the way I know isn't counted

[Md.elahrash]

Remember always adjectives before nouns in Arabic...
Good neighbor
Jar jayid

[AsiyaAnjum]

Eating

[IamYourFrnd]

If you were wrong, the word would be "Tamir is a new chicken". Lmao

[bvdstel1]

Tamir zhar zhayyad.
correct?

[AhmadMurcii]

I'd say it's incorrect to transliterate the Arabic letter "ج" to "zh" ( like "ж" in Russian or "ژ" in Farsi) because it doesn't sound the same. It's exactly how you pronounce the "j" in "jungle," so it's to be transliterated to "j" or even "dj."

[Walid.S]

More like Tamir Jar jayyid like in the word jar.
zhar is the verb visit in English

[ConchiCastillo]

The /ʒ/ sound as in جار or جَيِّد is often transcribed as 'zh'. The /z/ sound as in زائر (visit) would therefore be just 'z', not 'zh'.

[Walid.S]

As a native, using J is more natural for describing sound ج
but yeah thank you for this information

[Banuztrk4]

Do you even know what does
Mean sin?

[Banuztrk4]

[Toms662174]
