Lower Intermediate - Singular pronouns

Salam
thanks for this useful podcast
i dunno why this podcast was easy to understand for me. maybe i got progress with the help of arabicpod :)previous podcasts were more difficult (for me).

i have a question which is not related with this podcast. if you could help me, i would appreciate.

i have problem to see arabic letters in the site. which font are you using for arabic letters? i will try to download the font you are using. i can see only some weird symbols. my computer's system doesn't have support for arabic language :(

If you are using (Internet explorer) then go to View, then Encoding, and find Arabic (windows) in the list.
If you use (Firefox), then go to View, Character Encoding, Arabic (windows-1256).
If your browser is any other than those, then let us know what it is and we'll try to help.
Nice to know that your level in Arabic is improving :) .

nice job lads - my level does increase significantly with your input- question : why did you not go with them is past but the verb used is in present any specific reason for this
مع ال سلام

If you mean why we used the past tense with the pronouns and not present tense, then it is because the present verb takes (indicators) rather than pronouns. Listen to the part at 5:10 when we talked about this.

i tried the things you said. but it doesn't work in my computer. i can't see arabic as option in encoding because my computer does not have arabic in its settings. in some websites i see arabic letters properly but if there are different fonts i can't see them. that's why i have asked which font you are using in the website. any idea about my problem?? :roll:

sorry for the bad phrasinf - here is another try .In the text at the phrase "why did you not go with them" you use the present tens but translate it as a past - any specific reason ?hope this clarifies things
cheers

Billur,, The issue is because of the browser not the font.,.try Firefox,,it is a good browser and it might sort it out.

I see pop why you are confused.. the phrase (لم تذهب) is past tense!! I know it sounds wrong, but (لم) always takes present verb after it and it gives the meaning of something happened in the past. so both of (لم) and (تذهب) are equivalent to a negated past tense verb.
Hope that helps.

thanks - issue is clarified - great job to reply so quickly
