"Tamer is a good neighbor."

Translation: تامِر جار جَيِّد.

[KatWise2]

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'

[regular1906car]

I agree

[gshacklebolt]

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

[sadiqueAtt1]

Is there an order to it ?

[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.

[MbayeDiop2]

I thougt jayid was new?

[SoftlyJazzMadrid]

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

[Anaam744249Anaam]

No it means good

[JohannesBi820579]

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

[a_k477]

These three people...tamer, david and omar...theyve got some good qualities, masha Allah!! XD

[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

[IamYourFrnd]

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

[Suleman4767]

[Aaisha.S]
