- Two questions about nouns Question 1: How do I refer to a new topic that is vague in nature. For instance, like if I wanted to start a conversation with something: "It is night." Would the proper translation be: إنها اليلة? Since I never referred to night, I'm guess it would not make much sense to say something like: هي اليلة. Is my logic correct? Question 2: Are there any situations where a topic's gender might switch? Here is an example: اسمك غريب. هل هي نكتة؟ "Your name is strange. Is it a joke?" Would such a construction work? Or am I suppose to directly refer to the noun like this: هل اسمك نكتة, in order to maintain gender consistency for the main topic?November 6, 201640
- Keskustelut Senni: Kuulutko tuo ääni? Mitä tuo ääni oli? Kuulosti joku kuollut. Janika: *nauraa* Joku säikäytti kissa kadusta. Ehkä tuo oli skunkki. Senni: Siis, tuholaistorjunta ei tulisi ja hankkiutuu eroon sen. Janika: Tietysti, se on ollut pelkkä yski viikko koska naapureitamme valitti vuokranantaja. Senni: On liian kauan minulle. Senni: Muuten, osasit avata lähellä ikkunaan sinusta. On kuuma tänne. Janika: Mitä skunkkista? Senni: Ei löyhkää ulos kauhea vielä. Janika: Totta. Kaape: Minulla on juno. Onko sinulla jotakin juotavaa? Simon: Haluaisitko teetä? Kaape: Onko sinulla kahvia? Simon: Minulla ei ole tällä hetkellä tätä. Kaape: Haluaisin vettä sijasta. Simon: Toki. Ota juoma, jos jääkaapissa on vesipulloja. Kaape: *Hän avasi jääkaapin* En näe vesipulloja. Mitä tämä hedelmämehu? Simon: Hemmetti, unohdin että joimme heitä jääkiekko harjoituksilla. Joo, osat juoda tuo mehua.May 14, 201620
I will just to write something...
This is how it will be. No corrections. No verifications. No Google. I'm just going to write something. Do you know why? Because soon I won't have a choice. I'm about to leave home and go to abroad. I wouldn't say that it was easy and fast to write in this way. Actually, it took me some time to write this, but it doesn't matter if I feel more confident even if I'm wrong at times. And of course, I am wrong sometimes, so if you can correct me please, I would really appreciate that.Right now, I have just arrived from work. Actually, my former place of work where I will quit in the next week. Because, you know, the reason that I mentioned above: I'm going to travel. And afterwards, I'm going to meet some friends to drink and talk for a bit. I want to enjoy the companion of my friends while I still can.
Cheers!

I had my first conversation class. I never talked in English to another person before. At the beginning, I was a little bit nervous, but when we start to talk I didn't feel nervous anymore. I felt good talking with another person in English, but also I recognized the things that I have to improve on. Also, I made a lot of "stupid mistakes" with conjugations a few times when my mind went blank, but oh well, it was not so bad for my first time speaking. At the end, he told me the areas that I have to focus and practice more on. I really enjoyed the time I spent in class. :)
Cheers and thanks for reading.
Good entry and I am glad to hear that your first class was a positive experience. "Greetings" is sign of recognition or well wishing that you would write at the beginning of a written message. If you want something like that but for a closing statement, say "cheers" instead which is to wish someone well or say goodbye.0 votedApril 27, 20161It is simple...you need only work hard.
Genius...is it something that we are born with? Or is it a result of hard work? Many people say that genius is only natural and that environmental factors have a limited influence. However, Lyza said that, "There is no such thing as genius. It is a combination of hard work and determination", which means that anyone can be a genius in whatever they have a passion in and are willing to work for it (Perhaps this sounds better).Have you heard about this experiment? It's about measuring brain activity and involved a genius named Ruediger Jam, who can multiply large numbers in a few seconds. Scientists compared Jam to average people. The surprising result from the experiment was that average people were found to use 12 areas of their brains while Jam used 17 areas! However, Jam was not born with this extraordinary ability. He was a normal person until he was determined to change himself, and he did this by practicing 4 hours a day on mathematics.
So, I totally agree with this quote and it helped me a lot in my life. It gave me a motive to aim high and work hard in whatever I do. As a result, I became more confident in my abilities, and I am happier as I know that my hard work in anything will pay off and might make me a genius one day!
In conclusion, it is very simple, you only have to believe in yourself, work very hard with a lot of determination, and you will achieve your aim! It's that simple!
0 votedApril 27, 20160- Here are some other changes that taa marbuta undergoes, although it would be great to have a native speaker verify these cases: 1) Taa marbuta being pronounced as haa in certain cases. -e.g زوجة being spelt and pronounced instead as زوجه (zaujah). The h ends up pronounced as a soft, voiceless h. Sometimes it sounds to me as if it's not pronounced at all. Perhaps that is the case when someone speaks fast? 2) Pronunciation changes to taa marbuta when it is in a noun construct (IDafa). -e.g. كرة السلة kura al-sala becomes pronounced as "kurat al-sala". We can further simplify the construct for speech by pronouncing it as "kuratul sala", where the filler vowel for taa depends on the case of the noun. In casual speech, I most often here the filler vowel being pronounced with a kasra (short i vowel), which would be "kuratil sala"0 votedApril 26, 20160
