Alsalamo alykom wa rahmato Allah wa baracato sisteres and brothers.
I think arabic conversation may helps dear non arabic memberes to improve their language.I hope it will be beneficial for u.
U have to write a question in Arabic with its English translation .
The next one have to answer it in Arabic and ask another question in Arabic too to the following one.
Good thread. Quick question, for the above sentence, would 'Ma fa'alak fi waqt...' make sense too instead of what you've written?
I'm having trouble grasping the different verb forms
No, you can't use fa'alak. I'm not sure what you mean by fa'alak though. Is it a noun?
If you don't wanna use a verb you can say this:
ماذا أنت فاعل في وقت فراغك
But that's too formal even for fos7a arabic.
That's why it is better to use ماذا تفعل.
In arabic, there is no present simple or present continuous, there's only one present form of the verb.
This present form can be used to say: What do you usually do? or What are you doing right now?

Isn't fa'alak --> 'fa'ala' + 'k' --> which makes it 'you did'?
“Do not argue with your Lord on behalf of your soul, rather argue with your soul on behalf of your Lord.” - Dhul-Nun
"It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness." - Victor Frankl
Isn't fa'alak --> 'fa'ala' + 'k' --> which makes it 'you did'?
No.
You use "k" with a noun. كتابك = kitabouka --> Your book
If it's a past form of the verb you use "ta" فعلت = fa3alta --> You did.
If it's a present form of the verb you put the "ta" in the beginning of the verb: تفعل = taf3al --> you are doing
Isn't fa'alak --> 'fa'ala' + 'k' --> which makes it 'you did'?
fa'la means he did (in the past)
in the past you did is "fa'alta" (and fa'alti for female)
taf3al is you are doing
"ka" can be used as possessive pronoun. (so its after a noun) For example "Qalmuka" (your pen)
"ka" is also an objective pronoun, hence coming after a verb. For example "Afhamuka" (i understand you)
you wrote "fa'alaka" but that doesn't make syntactical sense. If you do not understand, I can try to explain more.

Thanks for the correction sister, about that لازما, I mean it as always. Is it has different meaning? Guess got it wrongly but worth to try . I regret I did not speak Arabic everyday although learning it in religious school. I'm going to use the right words again, please correct them ya...
