Reporting a member? When you think a person is abusing the site by adult content, spamming, insulting or by other illegal things, you can report the person using "report as spammer" or "report concern" button. I tried to report a member whose profile is clearly a spammer's. When reporting, it says "flag" or "cancel". I choose flag but it doesn't work, I don't get a feedback saying my report was successfully sent or something like this. I need help about this...

The Definite Article ال "When the ل in ال is followed by one of the moon letters, it automatically takes a sukoon and it is pronounced. However, when the ل in ال is followed by one of the sun letters, it becomes silent and it's not pronounced, also a shadda must be written on the sun letter." My problem is about memorizing these letters. I always connect incorrectly when reading ال with the sun and moon letters. Is there an easy way to know them or do I have to just memorize them?

هَذَا مُعَلَّمٌ , هَذِهِ مُعَلَّمَةٌ This is a (male) teacher. هَذَا مُعَلَّمٌ This is a (female) teacher. هَذِهِ مُعَلَّمَةٌ I know هَذَا and هَذِهِ changed because of masculine and feminine nouns. But, why did مٌ change into مَةٌ ?

"P" Sound in Arabic? OMG! I've just realized that Arabic doesn't have "p" sound! It has many interesting sounds, but not "p". What is used instead? ب ?

Turkish Series for Turkish Learners I decided to write this entry for those who want to learn Turkish by watching Turkish series. As you know, in Turkey we have many regional accents. If you watch a random series, you may learn Turkish with an accent. It would sound cute to us but it wouldn't be formal. :) By the way, it's really hard to find a series with a total pure Turkish. I wrote these series not because I like them but I think they have a purer Turkish than others.

Sometimes, When It’s Raining Sometimes, when it’s raining, I remember the first kite I made with an innocent child’s eager, the one that I couldn’t fly. I remember the days I used to sleep at dawn and sighed seeing my neighbor going to work. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I remember my childhood having tried to catch every raindrop delirious with joy and my mom getting mad at me. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I feel a bit lonely. The raindrops falling on the ground with a rhythm remind me so much of you. I wish I could catch every drop and make it rain again. I believe the rain will bring you back to me. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I watch the rain and think about you. I think about whether you are thinking about me too. Don’t be confused. I know you’re not. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I draw a picture of a city for us only. I imagine we are hanging around the city, enjoying the splendid view from the old tower, getting so tired and having our coffee at an authentic café nearby. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I break all the walls between us; I build a bridge on the oceans and roads on the deserts. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I open my little window, breathe the rain-washed earth, close my eyes and think about you. I think about what your face looks like, how you live and if you are doing well. I think about your smile and if you get angry with yourself too for forgetting your favorite song’s lyrics. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I wonder if it’s raining where you are too. Do you want to see what I see, know what I know? I can see the lightnings collide. What a pity! They are killing the sunshine like a knife, I could die. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I find myself in childish thoughts. I think about you madly. I plan our future, and then I kill you in my dreams hoping to overcome this grievous love with the next rain. Sometimes, when it’s raining, I just feel sad… by OnlyHope (Yasemin)

A question to Arabic friends In written Arabic, I usually don't see Fathah (َ), Dammah (ُ), Kasrah (ِ) etc. It is difficult for me to read without those. I wonder how you can read! Isn't it hard to read like that and will I be able to read then?
