Mh...I thought وجب means "must/have to"

For example: Unfortunately I have to go = للأسف يجب علي أن انصرف

But I agree that it sounds like a female form

hi lovelymirabella i was thinking u need the verb nasaha نصح to advice but u say means must ...

Can anybody tell what this means:

a5eraaaaan shishaaaa 3enaaaaaab.....!.....mashy y doniaaaaaaaa

eshrab

Thank you!!

Finally grape hookah.... ok Donia (if its not the name then it's "ok world")

eshrab - drink (but if he's talking about the hookah then he means "smoke")

I'm thinking it's probably dialect and not Fusha.. it seems like a khaliji form of the word "tebki" to cry.. if that doesn't sound right then please share the sentence you heard/read it in cuz that helps clarify what dialect is being used

yes yes it is in fact not fus7a...mh, it sounds quite sensible to me that it might be derived from بكى ... so it must be Khaliji or some kind of Iraqi

Another question:

How to say

>> if truth is too weak to defend itself, it has to attack

My focus is on the phrasing "too weak"

Thanks in advance

"Hunaka" means 'there is/there are" correct?

How does one say "there was?"

I think you mean "honek" and that means "over there"

there was - kan fi

What is the difference between Omry and Hayati? Do they both mean 'my life' and is one more formal or something?

And what is the difference between:
"Kol youm fi omry" and "kol youm men omry"?

thanks!

Basically
(Omr) Omr : age, or lifetime.
so when you want to ask: how old are you? it'll be
كم تبلغ من العمر؟ - كم عمرك
kam 3omrok- kam tablo3'o min al-3mr.

(Hayati) Hayat: is life (life itself)

Unfortunately sometime English itself can't help you get the meaning

And I kol youm fi omry and min 3mri...
they are nearly the same, if you want to know the difference between these two prepositon, I recommend you look for another exmaples.

Such as:
أنا في المكتبة
Ana fi al-maktaba
I'm in the library

أنا قادم من المكتبة
Ana qadimon min al-maktabah
I'm coming from the library.

إذا كانت الحقيقة ُ ضعيفة ً جدًا لتدافع عن نفسها، فيجب أن تهاجم
you may use
ضعيفة جدا or
جد ضعيفة

هنا: Huna : Here
هناك:Hunak: There

كان: Kan: was/ were
يكون: yakoun: is/am/ are

so there was كان هناك (kan honak)
or you may only say هناك alone, depend on the sentence

What does this mean? Can anybody help?!

come already

so do you want the new one or the old one... I say try the new one... you'll like it
