i`ll put some sentences here that uses usually
hope it may help all to make simple sentences

thanx khorshid for passing by

[Maviii]

p.s :
At first ...
i should say that arabic language contains many accents
for example Egyptian accent is different than Lebanese so on..etc)
but here i`ll teach u the classical arabic language
which is the orginal...
i dont wanna confuse u with this complecated thing,
but i say this coz u`ll all notice that
for example this sentence
أنا ناطر
is same as
أنا أنتظر
& same as
بستناك
and they all means (i am waiting)
but the orginal language (classical arabic) they use
أنا أنتظر
i hope u`ll get the point

so u all should to take it easy & focus on the classical arabic
then when u learn the orgianl everything will go ok my friends

[Maviii]

here are some sentences :

(hellow)=(hi)= مرحباً
when u want to put this word in the sentence it will be
(Hi how are u )= مرحباً ..كيف حالك؟
marhaban kayfa halak?
------------------------------
here are other words :

(go)=ذهب = thahaba
i go / i am going =أنا ذاهب =ana thaheb
i went = أنا ذهبت = ana thahbto
i will go = أنا سأذهب = ana sa athhab
-----------------------------------------

* i wish if this site have the posting images option
so we can learn more easy with pictures
but i am sorry coz we dont have .. any way i hope u all ask
so i know what to write here ..

(come on we need some action here wake up friends)
i need questions ..

[Maviii]

Hi my friends i found something u`ll all like
it`s an software to learn arabic from zero
i hope u`ll all enjoy with it...
plz click here to downloud the software

http://www.bestshareware.net/arabicschool.htm

i downloud it to test it before telling u about it ..
and i discover that its very good

[Layla]

Well, you said that we need some action here, so, here's my question: When should i use tanwin when making sentences? I know that there are specific words that end with tanwin, like: chukran, marhaban,..., but tanwin is also used in another cases.

For example: Asma3 sawtan. – I hear a voice. Why couldn’t I say: Asma3 sawt?

Could you write down, please, some rules about tanwin?

[Layla]

Oh, and i forgot to ask you about the verb: I go/ I am going. You wrote: "ana thaheb", in Arabic. But, isn't it right: "ana athhab", too?

[LaaSemaa]

I'm writting notes teacher!

But can you write more words like

I am happy

I am not happy

you know like this?

[khorshid]

Mavii the software its very nice... i downloaded... but not paid though.... I tried the Demo...

How do you say,,, I am going to ...

[zizo]

Qouted:
i really dont get ur question !!!
do u mean how we put each letter in a sentence & how the letter goes then
& change?
=====================

lol mavii im not asking u a question i speak arabic.
i had a suggestion to write the pronunciation of the alphabetical letters

أ-----------alef
ب----------Ba
etc.

u know what i mean right?

ahaaa this is strong question hehehee

dear layla the tanwin is usually used at the end of the words
like when u wanna say (asma3 sawtan)
if this sentence ends like this i mean if there is no continue
u`ll put tanwin but if u there is a continue like
asma3 sawt al moseeka = which means
i hear the sound of music
u dont put tanwin to the word (sawt) ok!!
in the same time (tanwin) dont have a rules
coz we use (tanwin) regarding to the sentence
& how it may goes u know
coz it causes many many cases to add tanwin ..
if u give me another example i`ll show u
but i cant write here all the situations of tanwin
is that ok dear friend?

dear..
ana thaheb= means i am going
ana athhab=means i will go

another explaination to the word (ana athhab)
u can use it
if some one asks
who goes there ? u can answer
i go / i will go (ana athhab)

i am going to the market = ana thaheb ela al soog/sooq
i`ll go to the market = ana athhab ela al soog

did u get it??

you know like this?

------------------------------------------

I am happy = ana sa3eed = أنا سعيد
أ نا = أ ن أ
سعيد= س ع ي د

I am not happy = ana lasto sa3eed /or ana lasto sa3eedan
أنا لستُ سعيداً = أنا لستُ سعيد = they are the same meaning but
ana lasto sa3eedan = we add (tanwin)
so u add tanwin to gave it the some formal
ana lasto sa3eed without (tanwin) make it informal

أنا لستُ سعيد
أ ن ا - ل س ت - س ع ي د

How do you say,,, I am going to ...

it depends to what u wanna say

if u mean to use the verb (go)
I am going to los angelos
أنا سأذهب الى لوس انجلوس
ana sa athhab ela los angelos (future)
ana thaheb ela los angelos (present)
like u mean u are going now

But if u mean (I am going to eat )
ana thaheb kai a`akol= ana thaheb le aakol
أنا ذاهب للأكل= أنا ذاهب كي اّكل

I am going to sleep
أنا ذاهب الى النوم = ana thahen ela al nawm (if u are going now)
ana sa thhab ela al nawm = أنا سأذهب الى النوم
if u r going to sleep after a while or aftre an hour

and so on

aaha ok dear i understand now
but i dont write the pronounciation of the letters
coz i dont wanna confuse them
u know for example if i write the letter
غ = gh
ghen
they may ask from where the letter (n) comes
so just forget about this
i wanna concentrate on (how to make sentences)
not to the deep complecated things that need alot of explainations

[Layla]

Thank you, Mavii! I understood! I'm preparing more questions.
