    Re: How do you pronounce your 'geem'?

    depends on the situation and the word?
    if you use the word 'Ingeleezi' you obviousely have to say it with a G like good, if your calling out to your friend whose name happens to be George you'll have to use the 'Jee' ..
    for all intensive purposed I'd stay away from 'Egytpianized' Arabic, when reading the Quraan especially as an Egyptian spin on some words might render a completely different meaning to it.. in some cases its exact opposite.. and it isn't good to tamper with the Quraan

    Re: How do you pronounce your 'geem'?

    Both seems like the best answer. It will depend on the word. At the moment I can only think of words with the "g" um sound, like in Ain al Ghazal. OOOps, it has the "J" ust sound in Jameel. I just remembered that Ain al Ghazal is very Jameel.

    Neither! Neither G or J is the proper way of saying it...

    I use the french "j" like "je suis de la Malaisie"...

    But when reading the koran I use the english "j" like "I love jam"...

    Re: How do you pronounce your 'geem'?



    Like Sister Purest said; it depends on the word. I pronounce it as a "j". But when I'm talkin' in some of the Yemeni dialects I go with the "Ga" all the way!

    Re: How do you pronounce your 'geem'?



    It is sad to see how the arabic language is getting battered these days egyptians and yemenis inventing their own letter "G" which isnt even to be found in the arabic alphabet!

    If you are an old somali aunty you would probably proununce your "Jeem" as something between a "Jeem" and "Sheen" which would come out as a "Jsheem" it is very fun to listen to, although when it comes to the Quran its not as fun. no offense to any sisters who happen to be somali

    Even Shaykh Thubayti in madeenah had that problem but alhamdulilah it is corrected now. That is Allah's grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace
