Hi Faridah,

You can see the script by clicking on PDF transcript above… For your other question:

I miss you -> Ana Aftaqedok ->أنا أفتقِدك

Classic Arabic -> Lu3’a 3rabiya Fu97a -> لغة عربية فصحة

Hope this helps

السلام عليكم

In the sentence "نعم أفهم, لكن ما سمعتك" the word for negation was "ما". In the audio, it was mentioned that to use "لا", the verb would have to be changed from past tense to present tense. Would it be possible to use the negation "لم" in place of "ما"? For example: "لم سمعتك"

Thank you,
Jared

و عليكم السلام
No you can’t use the negation "لم" in place of "ما”. You will have to change the verb from past tense to present tense as you would do when you use “لا”. For example,
نعم أفهم, لكن ما سمعتك
Using “لا”: نعم أفهم, لكن لا أسمعك : Yes I understand but I can’t hear you
Using "لم": نعم أفهم, لكن لم أسمعك : Yes I understand but I didn’t hear you

Notice they both have slightly different meanings. “لا أسمعك” Don’t hear you. “لم أسمعك” Didn’t hear you.
Hope this helps,

Mohamed - Thanks very much for taking the time to construct this webpage - and for making it available to the general public.

I like the discussions - they are very informative and interesting.

I'm studying Arabic at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA - and the curriculum here is extremely challenging - top notch. But your type of presentation is much more interesting and motivating.

Have become interested in learning about the Koran - I've read the new and old testaments already (years ago)- it seems to me that Islam is one of the very few religions yet to be 'commercialized' - and that makes it more interesting to me.

First things first. I want to learn Arabic - your site is an assist, for sure.

asallamualaikum brothers! you guys are doing a wonderful job out there and it is very much appreciated may allahu taalla reward you!i have a problem on the Masdar which is the equivalent of the Infinitive in arabic,the Ismul faail which i believe is the present participle or the person who does the action and the Ismul Mafool which is the equivalent of the Past participle in english.how they are employed or use and if you can emphasise on the different categories of verbs in arabic.I would be very much grateful If you can advice me what to do to master these essential part of the language.Shukran lakum wa ilal liqai

Ahlan Mohamed;
Your asking about the 9arf of Arabic words. The concept behind al9arf is to scale the word on the pattern FA3ALA (if it is three letters), for example,, the verb same3a is three letters and it sounds like FA3ALA,,therefore you can build ismol fa3el of it as same as we said in the lesson: saame3. now how about ismol maf3ool or almasdar.... all these have rules and use the same concept of scaling the words on the pattern FA3ALA. for instance, ismol maf3ool of same3a is masmoo3 (maf3ool).
We will be tickling these issues with Arabicpod, I hope ismol fa3el was alright with you. Then, just keep it up and inshallah you'll get what you are looking for.
Salam

We are pleased to read your comment.. Keep it up with ArabicPod and inshallah you’ll find significant changes.. By the way, this is how we pronounce the sentence you’ve written: atakallam shwaya 3arabi.
Bettawfeeq (good luck)
