Arabic for beginners

Here is a simple Arabic conversation
مَا اسمُكَ؟
pronounce: ma esmoka?
meaning : what`s your name ?(when I am talking to a male)


مَا اسمُكِ؟
pronounce: ma esmoky?
meaning : what`s your name ?(when I am talking to a female)

so ما means what
اسم means name
كَ (ka) at the end of the noun means your for a male.
كِ (ky) at the end of the noun means your for a female.

Here is another example

كًم عُمرُكَ؟
pronounce : kam `omroka?
meaning: how old are you? (when I am talking to a male)


كًم عُمرُكِ؟
pronounce : kam `omroky?
meaning: how old are you? (when I am talking to a female)

كًم means how how much or how many.
عُمرُ means age .

كَ (ka) at the end of the noun means your for a male.
كِ (ky) at the end of the noun means your for a female.

ma shaa Allah,very good .

I ll just add a simple correction to the third answer, it will be ana min al somale ( أَنَا مِن الصومال ) as Somalia in Arabic is الصومال (al somale).

Lets begin the next lesson.

هَذَا أَخِى ,هُوَ مُدَرِس
pronounce : hatha akhy hwa modares.
meaning : This is my brother,he is a teacher.

so هَذَا means this (for a male only)
أخِ means brother.
ى at the end of a word means my, it shows owner ship ( it is the same whether I am a male or female).
هُوَ means he.
مُدَرِس means a teacher.



another example:
هَذِهِ أُختِى ,هِىَ طَبِيبَة
pronounce : hathehy okhty heya tabiba.
meaning :this is my sister she is a doctor.

so هَذِهِ means this for a female .
أُخت means sister.
ى at the end of a word means my.
هِىَ means she.
طَبِيبَة means a medical doctor.



another example :
هَذَا أَخِى ,هُوَ طَالِب pronounce : hatha akhy hwa taleb.
this is may brother he is a student.
طَالِب means a male student.



هَذِهِ أُختِى ,هِىَ طَالِبَة
pronounce : hathehy okhty heya taleba.
this is may sister she is a student.
طَالِبَة means a female student.

أّنَا ana = I ( whether I am a male or a female).

أَنتَ anta = you (for a male).

أَنتِ anty = you (for a female).

هَذَا hatha = this (for a male).

هَذِهِ hathehy = this (for a female).

هُوَ hwa = he.

هِىَ heya = she.

أ َخ Akh = brother.

أ ُخت okht = sister.

طَالِب taleb = a student (for a male).

طَالِبة taleba = a student (for a female).

مُدَرِس modarres = a teacher (for a male).

مُدَرِسَة modarresa = a teacher (for a female).

طَبِيب tabib = a doctor (for a male).

طَبِيبَة tabiba = a doctor (for a female).

we just add ( ة ) at the end of the adjective to be for a female.

A simple test :

1 - How to say : This is my brother ,he is a doctor.

2 - How to say : This is my sister ,she is a teacher.

Jazakallah for that, I know the basics, all the above, learned it in madressah. I'm trying to learn the rest now.

lets continue
