"Where is your country, Reem?"

Translation: أَيْن بَلَدِك يا ريم؟

[SaifullahS6]

Should be baladuk(i). Baladik is common but wrong in MSA.

SaifullahS6,

Yes, you're correct! "baladik" in the nominative case is a slang. In Formal Standard (Arabic fuSa), it is:

أَيْنَ بَلَدُكِ يَا رِيْمُ؟

"2aina baladuki ya riimu?"

[mayateacher]

Shouldn't there be a dhamma instead of a kasra on the word balad? It should be baladuka instead of baladika.

[TinoAriza]

-- baladuki ?? If the name Reem is female, as I think -- بَلَدُكِ

[MahmoudSenSei]

أَيْن بَلَدُكِ يا ريم

[RyanLeBlan16]

So is this just an example or is the phrasing "where is your country?" a common way of expressing the "Where are you from?"

İt is just an example
