The ojective of this beginner podcast is asking whether someone's free in Arabic. Maybe you don't want to spend time with the person asking and need an excuse to brush them off (other than having to wash your hair), tune in to find a good reason. Or perhaps you really are busy, in which case the lesson has an example of an excuse which may well have a slight chance of applying to you (maybe?). In any case, listen in and learn many new and useful words.

Hello there;
Thanks again for the nice lesson, can we say: alsa3a althamena wa thalatheen,, same as we do in English in saying eight thirty?

It is same as English, but you have to add the word (daqeeqa) which means (minute) after thalatheen, without (daqeeqa) it becomes wrong.
By the way,, gramatically,, the word thalatheen should be thalathoon..In sharepoint there's a helpful piece of software called Alsaa3ah which helps you pronounce the correct time with all grammatical rules are applied.
