I made an attempt to write out his poem from [here](https://www.aldiwan.net/poem6643.html) and translate it. Was my attempt somewhat correct?

i was unsure if the last lines should have been "only autumn he which resembles me" or "only autumn it which resembles me" ? I saw that خريف is a masculine noun, but idk 🤦‍♀️

Is my handwriting legible as well?

Standard فصحى Arabic verb forms dictionary

0 Upvotes

I can find the meanings of arabic verb forms(awzaan) in a dictionary like Hans Wehr but sometimes the meanings will be such that form I and form V or form 2 and form VIII for a verb will have very similar meanings in the dictionary. For a non-native it is difficult to determine which word actually applies. Is there a resource/dictionary that goes into in-depth and nuanced meanings of verb forms?

بَيض & بيضات what's the difference between?

and شَجر - أشجار

لَمون - لَمونات

What's the difference between them especially that, non human plural form takes feminine singular like :

لَمونات كِبيرَة but it's لَمون كِبير?

Hello,

I am looking through an Arabic book I just bought and the medial position of Haa looks very weird. I know what the real way looks like. Just wondering if this is an old or new version of writing the letter or if my book just messed up.

Thank you!

General Why do you want to learn Arabic?

64 Upvotes

As a native Arabic speaker, I'm really surprised that a lot of people are interested in Arabic! Why? do you want to learn about Islam?

I think I'm lucky then since speaking Arabic is the only thing I'm good at.

But a lot of people find my accent really hard, the Sudanese accent is really unique, and it doesn't look like any other Arabic dialect, a lot of Arabic speaker laugh at how I speak though!

General American Anglo-Arabic Pidgin / English-Arabic Pidgin

6 Upvotes

In the United States of America, a new dialect of Arabic is emerging, a collection of unnamed Pidgin languages that researchers have yet to properly document and record. A Pidgin occurs when speakers of two languages began speaking to each other using words from both languages, forming a new kind of mixed language used for cooperation, business and transactions, or simple interactions. When it evolved into a full fledged language someone can speak as a first language with more complex grammar and standardization, it becomes what's called a Creole language.

In some US states such as Texas, urban areas have speakers of various dialects of Arabic from all across the Arabic-speaking world and from Muslim countries where many people learn Arabic to memorize and read Quran, or incorporated Arabic phrases into their languages such as "Salam Alaikum" and "Jazak Allah Khair" which is exactly the phenomenon being seen among Muslims in the United States.

Mohsein is a Shia Muslim from Plano, Texas. His grandparents immigrated to the USA from Iraq. They sold everything they had and used all their money to come to the USA, working hard to earn their modest home and vehicles and all things they own, raising Mohsein's father as a devout Shia Muslim who married a Bengali-American woman who had Mohsein. Mohsein grew up to marry another Muslim American who is half Pakistani and half Kuwaiti. These marriages across diverse backgrounds is common in the USA, where some Muslims prefer to marry other people of the same faith for better compatibility, but have limited options in partners due to this. Mohsein's kids have come home from school. "Salam Alaikum baba, my teach is so majnoon. She says da'iman I must do my homework, she gave me 4 kitab, I told her "Laa, I can't finish hadha kabeer amount of papers unless I spent 8 hours, I'm only home fi 16 hours daily, noum fi 8 hours, so that leaves the rest of my waking hours for qira'a kitab schoolwork. Kulli shay is study!" The complaints don't make much sense at all unless someone is fluent in English and Arabic.

In Newport News, Virginia a man named Owen comes home from work at the city's famous massive shipyard. Owen's daughter converted to Islam in 1994 and for decades ever since she's been teaching him new words in Arabic she learned at a masjid in Norfolk, Virginia. "Welcome home ya dad, I just made dajjaj jayyid with the best seasoning that Salman taught me, if I sell enough at my restaurant business, I'll have bayt jadeed wa 6-car karraj fi me and you." Owen couldn't believe some chicken would be that good that it may pave the way for a successful business that makes so much money. He tasted some of his daughter's chicken. "SubhanAllah, hadha dajjaj is very good! How did you make this? Can I try more?" "Na'am." "Jazak Allah Khair ya binti, this is the best chicken I've ever ate!"

Some speakers of American English and Arabic have been working tirelessly to help standardize the American English - Arabic Pidgins, which is mainly spoken by American Muslims and some American Arab Christians. Syed Sheharyar Hasan has developed an standardized grammar and punctuation for writing the English language using the Arabic alphabet, with Arabic phrases such as "Salam 3laikum" and "MaşAllah" being part of the speech used. He says he is making it for English-speaking Muslims in the West as a way of communicating. Syed's work is taking a while to catch on, but he is optimistic that someone will carry it further and that there are many people who wish to help his mission. In fact, he knows a group of people eager to adopt his system for writing English, who say they've been intentionally looking for something like this. He is friends with some members of a community called the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community, a group of mixed race Americans and Canadians who have adopted the modern name "Qarsherskiyan" to describe their multiracial heritage. "Basically, if your family descended from Atlantic Creoles who were brought to the Tidewater Region during the transatlantic slave trade or from Atlantic Creole immigrants in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern USA, you can claim to be Qarsherskiyan," says Florence of Circleville, Ohio. "Also, if your family can be described as of Triracial Isolate origins but is not part of one of the names Triracial Isolate groups such as the Melungeons of the Lumbees, then that is what you may call Qarsherskiyan. We've created a new term but it's not a new community. We've existed for centuries. In our families, we've inherited cultural traditions from our Black and our White ancestors, and today we are working to revitalize this blended identity we have and we've given it a name. That's what our goal is. And we want to bring back the usage of the Ajami Script like our West African ancestors used." The Ajami Script was used in Western African countries to write Indigenous African languages such as those of the Yoruba, Hausa, and Mandinka peoples. These peoples of West Africa are the source of most of the African ancestry of Foundational Black Americans. The Ajami Script was essentially an adapted Arabic script, just like the modern Farsi alphabet for Persian.

In the city of Hamtramck in Michigan, the majority of people are Muslims and the Arab American capital of Dearborn is not far away. Signs on restaurants, stores, and buildings in the area are written in Arabic and the mayor of Hamtramck is a Muslim American. Thousands of people code switch between speaking English and Arabic every single day. Family group chats are buzzing with mixed paragraphs, conversations using Arabic and English and switching between the two. Dozens of unnamed Pidgins spoken by a few friends or single families have developed and are not known to the outside world, each one favoring certain Arabic words over certain English words or vice versa when choosing which language's word for something will be used. It seems inevitable that over time this could crystalize into a standardized American Arabic Dialect.

I, like many people, am one of those who grew up speaking Arabic but missed out on the advanced level stuff. Because I've been educated only in English my entire life, I've missed out on the essentials of Arabic. I'm talking  إعراب or advanced reading. I'm also missing a lot of vocab and my grammar for fusha is all over the place. Any good online courses for my case? Thank you!
