Yes absolutely true, عروة و أروى are very similar names in pronounciation.
But as I told your name is very very nice.

ahahah, i HATE teaching job actually, i feel it's kind of boring job, good luck with your job here.., you're doing a nice job!

ahahaha, when i was young, i hated my name & Arwa's name & everything belong to Arwa's name, because everyone hear my name starts to ينمرئ, but after i get older i realized that it's a great historical name

thanks very mucho Orieeta, i like "Oriee" too

I don't know what these words mean, and I don't care because there's also same as them in Syrian and I don't used to say them

@Orietaaa, nah, people always think my name is for a girl 'arwa', especially Egyptian people, but that's their problem not mine, I love my name as it is now

Eheheh, I think we are not useful to be teachers, we are just native speaker and god give us the ability to speak this language, and no problem if we can share it to people, but I am sure you may be a real teacher

no offense dude, but Syrian is easy to me since my mom side of the family are SYRIANS and we go to Syria every now and then matter of fact my sister is going to be there next week. My family knows syria شبر شبر

سورية بلد بتاخود العقل عنجد يعني الله بحبكم على العيشة جو ولا احلا و مناطق خلابة . انا ابوي عاش في محردة شي ثلاث سنين و امي مواليد الشام و خوالها كلهم عايشين في الشام . و بيوتهم من البيوت القديمة زي الي في باب الحارة. انا شخصين بعشق الشام

Hey Guys nice Job wellah , Daydream !! Mashallah you even know yemeni dialect !!
@ Louie : أنا كمان بحبها لسوريا وبحب اللهجة الشامية , بلاقيها أسهل من كل اللهجات العربية ، بس للأسف ماحصللي الشرف لزورها بس بتمنى ان شاء الله اني زور هالبلد بأقرب وقت

once you drink from its water you'll never forget it.

له له له، طولوا بالكم يا جماعة والله بعيدن بنصدق إنه سوريا صارت نيويورك، يعني سوريا إيه حلوة وبتاخد العقل، الجو والناس والأكل، بس ما لهالدرجة يعني، على كل، أنا جدا فخور

btw, we are getting off topic., so we'd better go to the chit-chat thread or the moderator Layla will kill us three!!

قال نيويورك قال عليم الله النزلة على سوق الحميدية بسوة ١٠٠ نيويورك

Thank you for the reply Daydream and like I said take your time if you wish.... one more request if you would not mind can I recieve the arabic script as well (Yemeni dialect)?

What else I want to know is what does " abbarni" mean? I think it is more like a syrian word. 'Ya abbarni'. but what does it mean?

Look, i tried to express myself.., and it comes as follow:

سيبقى هناك لحن يتجول من خلال

Yes, you know, I was just looking for حتى لو ... the rest was my free imagination :-o

Thank you so much...I actually have problems with tose "small words" in Arabic...

@Jihan :
this part (there will be a melody roaming through...
I do not understand it in English or Arabic !!

I think it's poetic and to be taken metaphorically..

even if the birds stop singing - even if good things come to an end
there will be a melody roaming through - there are still positive things that will come your way/to look forward to..

I don't know that's how I took it.. with statements like those people can understand it how they want.. that's the beauty of it
