thanks a million for translating them! now I can add to my new Arabic vocabs

[@aimranehd]

As a Moroccan, my handwriting don’t look like standard nor native, they look like uncooked macaroni pasta even I don’t understand what I just handwrote

[@Starrypaws64]

Me too, it's like chicken legs ruq3a

[@guest23314]

Same lol but i write in latin and cyrylic my handwriting sucks

[@marwahussein666]

Same bro

[@mohammedaminedali1079]

As an Algerian it's the same for me

[@CTzons]

As an Iraqi, I agree.

[@coolranch-ez4tu]

I’m Egyptian, at school they only accept the standard writing form in the exams whilst when teachers are writing on boards or when we do our homework we write in the riqaa “native” writing to speed up the process.

[@Ziad3195]

I am Egyptian too and let me tell you there are over a 100 Arabic scripts. Including ones that we no longer use.

[@rosiline_san5370]

I’m also Egyptian, but in the exam or in notebooks they don’t care abt ur handwriting (in my school) except that one question that says “write this sentence one in خط النسخ and again in خط الرقعة”, my handwriting is just a mixture of both

[@coolranch-ez4tu]

@@rosiline_san5370 I understand you’re probably in middle school, in high school specially last grade (ثانوية عامة) if you write in رقعة your answer wouldn’t be accepted.

[@rosiline_san5370]

@@coolranch-ez4tu Is that so? Thanks for the information, looks like I’ll have to practice my handwriting before high school

[@maxmncs2950]

Similar thing in Europe, when we write exams usually is accepted only the cursive script, in other cases lowercases letters and capital letters are accepted

[@Ibn_nassir]

Actually both are correct, هناك انواع للخطوط العربية ومنها النسخ والرقعة The standard one is called الحر which is a simpler form of النسخ And the native one is الرقعة Both are correct

[@alegendsock2581]

that one guy sneezing in the bg 💀

[@auralwriting]

Damn, I was hoping nobody would notice 😂

[@catanddodted]

Are both standard and native acceptable? I'm not an Arabic native but learning how to read Arabic, and sometimes I write English words in Arabic. I have never seen the native writing before and wondering if it'd be acceptable to use standard or it has to always be written in the native writing. (sorry if this is worded weirdly)

[@mohammadal-ayoubi2126]

Yes it is. Hand writing is more like a personal style. I know little people that actually write standard, even though it's more beautiful in my opinion, but the only reason is basically speed. But people would love it if you write standard. And noone would find it weird if that's your concern.

[@nathanielmartins5930]

It's not "Standard vs. Native" more like "Printer Font vs. Hand writing Fonts" Most people, who are not caligraphers, don't bother to spend the the time needed to exactly copy the printer font, and just write the words and letters the way that comes naturally to them after getting used to it through practice over the years.

[@Ibn_nassir]

@catanddodted yes both are acceptable, I'm native and I use both, but the "native" is easier for most people, this is why it is used by natives not because it is better than the standard

[@adamadventurechannel7760]

Are you Malay?

[@Sepp37]

Hello, a native speaker here! And not all of us strictly write that way. As kids, we were taught the standard way of writing, so we imitated the examples we had in the textbooks. As we advance each one of us starts to adopt a personal style of writing. I think the best thing you can do is take the standard as a starter, master it and keep writing using it until your personal style come out. Good luck!

[@lukek8522]

So my doctor writes my prescriptions in Arabic! It all makes sense now

[@shacooked]

If you notice, the board of doctors here in Canada has Arabic or Muslims names 😂

[@SliochdnahEireann]

Thank you so much for this - more videos would be greatly appreciated!!

خطي ما يشبه حتى وحدة من الزوز خاطر أنا معنديش تنسيق حركي 😭 أحيانا حتى أنا ما نفهمش شنوة نكتب بصراحة 😆

[@dwdmosleem6064]

the native's font is riq'ah. it's a type of 7 types arabic writing

[@jayolovitt5969]

The second one is much more beautiful but 0 chance I could read it. It’s like the Nastaliq script used commonly in Pakistan for Urdu (and others), looks gorgeous but much harder to read if you are used to the ‘standard script’.

[@xMoezzz]

That's Riqaa (رقعة) not nastaliq

[@TheVeryRealSkill]

The native one kinda looks like Urdu

[@Macster14]

As a Pakistani I agree, I try to write in standard Arabic (I am learning Arabic) but always end up with something similar to the native, also we leave gaps inside some harf (letter) that native Arabs don’t

[@fleursdelilas9487]

It's ruqaa (or riqaa ) script. One of the many, many arabic scripts. I guess it became the main one used for urdu, while arabic mainly uses "naskh" for handwriting nowadays, especially for beginners

[@DTMC-Integrasi]

Native Arabic Writing known as Riqaa style It is one of several popular Arabic fonts (calligraphy)

[@japanlovesyou]

Great video, however it would have been helpful to leave an extra 2-3 seconds after each native example, some of them changed so fast afterwards it was hard to pause it for comparison and to be able to learn anything...

[@da-cor]

Arabic isn’t my first language cuz I’m iranian. However, Iranians kinda have the same alphabet as Arabs. It’s just that we have 4 letters more than them (the letters being: گ‌‌چ‌پ‌ژ)

[@joelandworld]

I do something in the middle between them both, while I write the two dots as joint like in the native version, I still write the س in the standard form, but the three dots of the ث I write them as two joint dots and one on top of them... I usually try to imitate the digital version, so my Arabic handwriting is now a combination of both... I focus on the letter's shape but don't slow the handwriting....

[@ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τ3κ]

Νόμιζα ότι ήξερα να γράφω αραβικά, αποδειχτηκα λανθασμένος. Πάντως το δεύτερο όντως φαίνεται σαν Πόλυ πιο εύκολο και γρήγορο σύστημα γραφής

[@auralwriting]

Aκριβώς αυτός είναι ο σκοπός, να γράφεις πιο γρήγορα. Είναι μια απλοποιημένη μέθοδος γραφής, αλλά παραμένει εύκολα κατανοητή (αν και μπορεί να διαφέρει πολύ από άτομο σε άτομο).

[@joelandworld]

Not wrong, so don't feel weird, both are appreciated.

Umm they look totally different. Standard at least seems like there are letters, but with second one most people would think it's just draft. Like checking if your pen writes or not 😂

its the same word but we don't usually colour in the first letter like that because it could be mistaken for another letter
