It happens to everyone once in a while (and more often for some than others!); you decide you'll make a lovely cake for the whole family to enjoy, only to find you end up with a burnt piece charcoal to put on the table for tea! It's easy to get carried away and forget, just make sure you listening to our podcasts isn't the cause of distraction!

Not very relevant question, but is there word for barbeque (BBQ) in Arabic?
Thanks for the nice lesson.

Json3; If it is followed by noun, then use maa, otherwise use maad'a. i.e.:
ماذا حصل Maad'a 7a9al? (What happened? followed be verb)
ما اسمك Maa ismok? (What is your name? followed by noun)
Hope it is straightforward.

(haad'a - هذا) is masculine and (haad'ihi - هذه) is feminine,, straightforward smile

oh thanks..i remember in the lesson EATING WHAT? u used haad'a هذ instead of haad'ihi هذه in the first sentence.. if u were to use haad'ihi would that make any difference or change the meaning of the sentence

thanks

Yes, we used (haad'a) in lesson "Eating what" because we were talking about cockroach, which is masuline in Arabic smile
