"في غُرْفة نَوْمي شُبّاك كَبير."

Translation: There is a big window in my bedroom.

[Ashraf_Hx2]

In my bedroom, there is a big window.

[Weggs]

That's what I said, but Duo didn't like it

[Away54]

I've written "in the kitchen there is a big window" and it is accepted! - October 4, 2020.

[Bell_Xp]

Kind of messing with my ♥️'s when Duo playing that trick with my answer

[CYyG14]

In my bedroom is big windows
That's true

[KarlHochst]

Why can't you say: 'In my bedroom is a big window'?

[KatieCos]

That is not the normal/standard way of saying it. It's rather poetic.

[MartineStilwell]

Surely it is a correct translation to say "In my bedroom is a big window"? Why put in the "there is", it does not seem necessary to put that in.

[KatieCos]

"There is..." is idiomatic English.

[Weggs]

That would be a literal translation -- but not the way a native English speaker would say it.

[MYIunlimited]

Why is it "there is..." when there's no "هناك"?
I answered as "a big window in my bedroom" and got it wrong at first

According to the other Arabic experts in Duolingo like Fix and another guy (name has 4 letters and an underscore in the middle).

The term 'There' specifically does not exist in Arabic, words like هناك and في are close counterparts of 'There' or 'There is' in Arabic and comes very close to meaning 'There'. There are other words that define 'There' as well. Hope this helps, I'm also learning.

[M.J.Daniel]

"In my bedroom is a big window" must be the same as "there is a big window in my bedroom"

[CYyG14]

Ye u r answer is true

[Away54]

في غُرْفَةِ نَوْمِي شُبَّاكٌ كَبِيْرٌ.

fii ghurfa(ti) naumii shubbaak(un) kabiir(un).

[Armanprs]

It says نَوْمَي

[KatieCos]

How come a big window in the bedroon get the في treatment and no هناك , while a weird noise in the kitchen doesnt get في , but gets هناك instead?

[DrewHerzig]

Should allow "In my bedroom is a big window."
