I agree with you- I have been to Syria for only few weeks and I am still having dreams about it- This (Syria) country is beautiful and surely it has conquered my heart.

note: u will notice that some sentences even when they refer to different genders (male or female) they r written the same in Arabic, here is where "tashkeel" is necessary to know which sentence refers to who, for example, "I heard you!" (سمعتك) when referring to a male is written the same as when referring to a female, with "tashkeel" applied u will know that in the one referring to a male there is originally a mark above the letter "ت" similar to a slash "/" this mark is called "fat7a" and it provides the sound "-a-" ("Sama3tAk."), while in the one referring to a female there is originally a mark below the letter "ت" which is the same mark "/" but shifted to below the letter "ت" and in this case it is called "kasra" this mark provides the sound "-i-" ("Sama3tIk."), u should also know that in the sentence "سمعتك" (whether referring to a male or female) there r originally marks on all letters those marks provide the vowel sounds otherwise it will be pronounced "Sm3tk." (with no vowels), u should really read on "tashkeel" if u study Arabic

Citlalli & L H L, thank you very much.., it is seems like we will believe that our country is beautiful.., and you both are super welcome to there anytime

is this a name? what does mean?

Tafeeda el Mofeeda

Originally Posted by Zahra2008

Tafeeda is a name of girl..., el-modeeda means the helpful/useful.., they say them together because they sound the same...Tafeeda El Mofeeda

Zahra2008, yeah this is a funny made-up name

"Tafeeda" is a female name, it is one of those names that r considered unattractive and a girl named that will not be proud of it, so this name is sometimes used jokingly to turn off guys, for example, if a girl wants to turn off a guy or make him go away from her she could tell him that her name is "Tafeeda" and anyway the guy would know she is joking (her name is not "Tafeeda"), i am not sure if there r still people called "Tafeeda" (as a real name) nowadays or maybe there were never any, and nowadays when this name is used it is used jokingly or for fun

"el mofeeda" means "the useful/helpful girl/woman"

so, "Tafeeda el mofeeda" is a funny nickname that works as a connotation of a helpful girl (who helps others and is useful to them) whose name is "Tafeeda" (an unattractive name), and no doubt the adjective "el mofeeda" was specifically used to rhyme with the name which is "Tafeeda"

lol, other examples could be "Maymoona el magnoona" ("Maymoona" is a funny fictional female name, "el magnoona" means "the crazy girl/woman") or "Fatakat entehazat" ("Fatakat" is a funny (probably fictional?) female name, "entehazat" is the plural of the noun "entehaz" which means "grabbing an opportunity" or "making the best use of something" and here, since it is used in plural, it refers to the habit of "grabbing opportunities" or "making the best use of things and people around her" so she may know new people not for the purpose of making new friends but for the purpose of not letting go any opportunities that may be useful to her or for the purpose of having things done to her)

so the whole purpose of giving someone such names is to give a certain impression of how that person is (helpful, crazy, etc) but in a funny manner, and the purpose of choosing such weird names (Tafeeda, Maymoona, Fatakat, etc) is to add more funniness and weirdness to the names so that they catch attention, and the purpose of the rhyme of course is to make the whole nickname in the end catchy and easy to remember

lol sorry for the long answer but i am sure now u got the whole thing

Orwito shoukran

lanw_aw lol is not a long answer.. I appreciate it, really, I think I understand very well... w shoukran kteer

You're ALWAYS welcome Ms. Zahrita Karlita , 3afwan
