"هٰذِهِ طاوِلة طَويلة."

Translation: This is a long table.

[ToghrulNH]

Taawilah tawiilah!

[UzairAbdul]

Bruh you just turned me into a frog

[hectorlqr]

So how would I say
"This table is long."?

[CemSirin]

I did the same mistake too, I guess it is ".هذه الطايلة طويلة"

[tsuj1g1r1]

هذه الطاولة* طويلة

, but yes, you get how this works now!

[Santiago_G18]

What kind of confuse pronouncing sentence is this

[musicislife73]

For the love of God, fix the * system so that it accepts "هذه" without the dagger alif (which by the way is impossible to type on a standard Arabic computer keyboard). This is a major flaw in several lessons.

[AzIgaziZsoozsy]

This is the most annoying and/or confusing sentence of the whole language I guess...

[yanziselma]

Why is 'this is a tall table' not correct?

[tsuj1g1r1]

In English, the dimension parallel to the ground can only be "long," and the one perpendicular to it "high/tall." A table can be both long and high, but it means different things, and the Arabic sentence translates the former.

هذه طاولة مرتفعة

would translate the latter.

[Ibraahiim13]

So we go by context only?

Now it is accepted. 30 January 2021

Is the difference between the two similar words the length of the vowel sound of the "a"? Table has a short a and long has an "aa"?

[AGmail2]

Table has the long a and tall the short. Also table is "wi" while long is "wii". Hope I helped.

[RedRabbit171]

"This is a long table" and "this table is long" say the same thing.

[Susan569895]

I agree in spoken english there is no real difference. Having got previous questions all correct i got this one wrong....in English by default we would put the table first, this table is long, (this is a long table doesnt quite sound right to say first....context matters) but it looks like the words and order is important/different in arabic so we have to learn the difference.

[mitch.vand]

No

[lauryswagner]

Won't accept haadhihi without the dagger alif :( I don't even know how to do that on my keyboard
