Oh wait, I was talking about simple "nasini", you obviously meen "nas-sini" with stress on the "s", this one means "make me forget", it's on the order form, the one I explained earlier is like Hisham Abbass's "Nasini" from "Feinoh" album.

The translation is good, some minor adjustments...

a7la kalam = the sweetest words
law sanya ana bab3ed 3annak = if I get away from your for a "second" (sanya=second, de2ee2a=minute)
domny khaleek wayaya = hold me, stay with me
taala neash agmal ayam = let's live the most beautiful days
we nseet ya habiby eldonia maak = and I forgot the world with you my love
wa el donia di shahda alaya = and the world is my witness
batmana el omr yetool wafdal ahebak ala tool = I wish my life would be longer and then I'd love you forever
da ana yama helemt akon wayak = I've dreamed a lot of being with you

someone dedicated the song hehe, nasini el donia, and thats how the nasini was written when they sent it..and i though it was the correct spellin since it was a saudi lol...though its the same in nogomi.com since after that i went and got the whole album...thanks for all that, ill note it down when i come home from school...checked facebook btw?

oh and one more thing, if the accent goes on the s , does it make it an s written with a 9 or just a different pronounciation accent to make the difference?

The "Nasini" is written in Arabic as ناسيني
The "Nassini" is written as نَسِّيني

So Nasini is pronounced as "Na-si-ni"
but Nassini is pronounced as "Nas-si-ni"
both with "S" non with 9, just that one of them is stressed

And I totally forgot about Facebook, I'll check it a.s.a.p.

lol i figured you did we need to make you more active there :P ok i shall now proceed with learnin what you told me, despite the meeting i have to prepare for arabic seems to come 1st these days...or any day come to think of it

aa and THANKS SHURKAN MERCI

ok interestingly enough kan ya makan, kan fe zaman means "once upon a time, long time ago" ... i just asked another egyptian friend of mine ... i asked him to explain and makan does mean place and kan is the past tense.. hence if you say kan makan it means there was a place but when the ya goes in the middle- " kan ya makan", then it becomes 'once upon a time' ...thats what he said, maybe rock star should elaborate on that

Angelus - are you come down from heaven?
(if you want - don't answer)

I want to study arabian, can you advice me where to begin?

Sorry for the long absence, I've been a bit busy lately.

I'll do all the translations in time

About the "Kan yama kan, kan fe zaman..."

"Kan" is the the Arabic term for the past, "Yama" means "a lot", so "Kan yama kan" means "long long ago", "Kan fe zaman", "Zaman" has 2 senses, one which means "Time", the other means "The past", here it's the 2nd, so it means "in the past there was...", so over all it means "Long long ago in the past there was..." it's used as "Once upon a time there was...".

Sergios, I know a forum for teaching languages, if you want it PM me.

I knew rock star is gonna do a good job here thanks rock star....
sergios....thanks, thats nice of you...wonder if all the people i bug with questions about arabic feel the same

oooh and i have another question....donia ( or donya lol)....i thought it means world...from the nasini el donia translation....and i think another egyptian friend of mine said world .. BUT one of my libyan friends yesterday said donya means life...3alam is world..he said....classical arabic...so erm...help?

"Life" is "7ayah/7ayat" حياة
"Donya" is "World", also "3alam" is world too, but "3alam" could be used to refer to "People" like the French say "Tout le monde".
"Donya" could be used to subliminally refer to everyday life, but it's not that vastly used, and it doesn't give that sense in "Nassini ed-donya".

More proof that "Donya" means "World" is that in Turkish, World is "Dünya" taken from Arabic.

sa7 now let me get back to the libyan with that LOL shukran
