"أُخْتي مَشْغولة دائِماً."

Translation: My sister is always busy.

[Dounette6133]

the audio says "oukhtay" which is confusing and might make people think it s saying my 2 sisters instead of my sister

[Bonjour689181]

My sister is busy always, was not accepted. I want to know the grammatical reason for this being incorrect.

[Dave168907]

Placing the adverb "always" after the adjective is unnatural for a native speaker of English. That order would immediately identify the speaker as foreign.

[KatieC993112]

Yes and no. It's not actually wrong, and could be said by a native speaker, if the "always" is an afterthought. Or it could place great emphasis or even anger on the "always". It is a marked construction, ie not the normal.

[a6Ndg]

Thats what i thought but remembered they said it was incorrect and the "correct" answer was that one in a similar exrrcise in a lower level

[KatieC993112]

Could you be more specific, a6Ndg?

[HaroldGarr6]

can someone give some insight about the دٔ ? sometimes it seems like these letters are pronounced (after a ء sort of pause) but other times it seems like it isn't pronounced at all whatever letter under it is arbitrary

[Away54]

Hi HaroldGarr6! Pardon me, I don't quite understand your question. ئ or ء is called "hamza". Its sound is similar to 2alif أ. Have I answered the question?
