Alphabet and translations

[andrea44]

what is the different between :w: and :sl: ?

Is it a male/female thing like you say one thing to a male and another to a female?

Also, to learn Arabic what is a good site?
Why aren't the letters like A-Z straightforward since the numbers seem to much more simpler to learn?

[~Taalibah~]

:sl:
Means: May peace be upon you.

:w:
Means: And may peace be upon you too.

As far as i know...

[Umar001]

First Al Salaam Alaykum (Al Salam is turned to As Salam)
Second Wa before the same as before.

:sl:
Means: May peace be upon you.

:w:
Means: And may peace be upon you too.

As far as i know...

Dear andrea44,
I dont know exactly what u mean by they are not straightforward! But you you mean they are not sequent, then they are straightforward like A-Z. :p

Arabic is a very very rich and a massive language. It is not easy to learn any language, except French that is very close to English, but I think learning Arabic will be fun if you have the motive.

The big difference that makes Arabic a unique language, is its massiveness. Words in Arabic have many many countless sheds of meanings. This makes Arabic a really unsurpassed language. :peace:
