hi!

[@rashedahmed6239]

You are my best English teacher I'm Bangladeshi now at DUBAI

[@mayorafukucho]

I've never heard anyone say "ate I an apple" in arabic. The subject is always ommitted since the ending of each verb gives the listener enough information about the one who did the action but for beginners who want to include the subject they can put it before the verb just like in English!

[@hamooody_387]

I didn't understand what are you say can you say this again in arabic

MISTAKES I CAUGHT IN THIS VIDEO: 1- word order: Arabic is not a VSO language. Things are more complicated. So, I will try to simplify as much as I can. Firstly, they missed to tell you in this video about the grammatical cases in Arabic. If you are not familiar with the concept of the case, then I will try to explain: Let's say, for example, that in one sentence I used the 2 pronouns HE and HER and the verb SAW. Don't you think that the word order will not affect on the meaning of the sentence and the form of the pronoun will be enough to define which pronoun is the Subject (HE) and which is the Object (HER)? If you looked with eyes of an Arab, you will see that (He saw her, her he saw, saw he her, he her saw, her saw he) carry all the very same meaning. Don't you? (For more about GRAMMATICAL CASES check kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ-pYqyZnMqfi7s) While we can't do this in English, we can do this in Arabic (may be in all languages that use grammatical cases like Slavic languages). In other words, word order in Arabic is not that rigid as in English. ARABIC CAN NOT EVER BEEN CONSIDERED AN SVO LANGUAGE 2- The thing that is worth to be mentioned about word order in Arabic is that the Arabic sentence can be either nominal (non-verbal) or verbal. But we are not going to discuss this here. 3- I is worth mentioning that the pronoun I أنا is written WRONG on the screen. 4- Arabic is not a "Null-subject language". In Arabic, once you used a verb, you MUST give a subject. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. This will be explained further. 5- ALL what was said after Null-subject language is COMPLETELY WRONG. To those who are not familiar with the concept of "verb conjugation"; In Arabic, as well as in a lot of other languages like Slavic languages, verbs changes its form depending on the subject. So, أكلتُ shouldn't be translated as ATE. It should be translated as I ATE. This shows that the sentence: أكلتُ التفاحة a- means "I ate the apple". b- has a subject. c- is a COMPLETE sentence that misses NOTHING. while the sentence: أكلتُ أنا التفاحة may be translated as: "I, myself, ate the apple". and yes, it sounds that ODD in Arabic. 6- I can NOT understand how could they NOT discuss, NOT even mention, NOT tell about, in an episode devoted to talk about Arabic grammar, 2 of the MAIN ESSENTIAL FEATURES of the Arabic languages and instead give such wrong pieces of information about Arabic grammar. SHAME ON YOU!!!

[@yasmeenalwadud4559]

Dude its not that serious. Calm down. This video is just a SIMPLE way for BEGINNERS to get a grasp, understanding of Arabic grammar. This would be basic easy grammar with Fusha Arabic.

[@Eagles_Hunter]

Kay Park Video doesn't have to be MISLEADING to be SIMPLE. What's irritating here is that all these mistakes were: 1- preventable 2- not necessary to be mentioned 3- whether added no information, or added WRONG pieces of information.

[@mustafayousif2696]

Bad learning, in Arabic language we are free to set the sentenses, like VOS, SOV, SVO or VSO, use anyone, but since you are translating from English its easier to use the same SVO.

[@Mohammed-ni6um]

لكن في العربية لكل نظام من هذه الأنظمة دلالة بلاغية تختلف عن الأخرى

[@Learn3Arabic]

Fun fact: in schools, children take Arabic classes every day in Arabic-speaking countries. Each class focuses on one aspect of the language, like grammar, composition, comprehension and analysis of texts, dictation, etc.

[@jarkurangajar]

As I know, we don't to put انا because اكلت already means "I ate" not only "ate." The letter ت is a subjective-pronoun suffix. It represents subject "I". And you will need to change the letter ت to any other letters if you want to say with different pronouns like "you ate", "she ate", "they ate", etc. It's not always اكلت. That's how Arabic will slap your face!

[@annushavi]

Fajar Rahmad Hidayat you are right

[@faisalaqeel2]

1:11 Hello I'm from Saudi Arabia you have problem in the sentence False" أكلت انا تفاحة" True " انا اكلت تفاحة" but it's okay because you can say all of them. But the second is specific.

My regional language is a VSO as well. I'm from Indonesia and i'm from makassarese background. Makassarese is one of few ethnicities in south sulawesi. The language is VSO order, just like other languages from south sulawesi languages family branch. Not like indonesian which the normal order is SVO So we have three types of pronouns for subject. The most common is VSO. This uses the first type pronouns. It is used commonly because the focus is on what you do or did. SVO is used to focus on who did or does it. This uses the second type pronouns. OSV is used to focus on the undergoer. This uses the third type pronouns. Also we can make a topic out of something by placing it in the first sentence and modifying the predicate with either of the three types pronouns. Thats why we sometimes mention the subject 2 times. One is the name of the subject and the other one is the pronouns that refer to the subject. We also have many particles that each has aspects, situation, mood, and tenses meaning. Also in helping to determine the focus

[@beco2012]

In arabic there two sentences noun sentences which start with noun and verb sentences which start with verb

[@zxnith8461]

There is a reason why the subject is deleted and thats because there is a -tu after akal and -tu is the short subject attached to the verb

[@bahauddin5518]

This video gave me a lot of benefit.....

[@mohsinsaudagar9918]

Very thanks Alisha and Yafa

[@mustafayousif2696]

mohsin saudagar She is wrong, use SVO as English, its more correct, also you can set it as VSO, OVS or OSV, all correct but SVO as English is the famous and easy.

[@arkham1329]

The reason why the subject is dropped is because it's obvious from how the verb is conjugated like in Spanish for example. So in this case i think we even give more importance to the subject since a unique form of a verb is dedicated to every pronoun !

[@RetorikMalaya]

أكل = ate تُ = I التفاحة = Apple أكلْتُ التفاحة = ate I (an) apple It is very wrong to say Arabic didn't emphasised on SUBJECT!

[@hamooody_387]

كل شيء قالته غلط الي علمها غبي

[@funzy9361]

If my Arabic teacher saw this video she would commit

[@imen7610]

Ummm actually in Arabic you can put SVO or VSO or OSV or OVS and so on it’s free but it also makes it more complicated

[@maxartist3d]

Well you can say in Arabic this sentence as follows: أكلت تفاحة أنا أنا أكلت تفاحة تفاحة أكلت أنا تفاحة أنا أكلت أنا تفاحة أكلت Its all possible and the meaning won't change, besides we have different ways to say this but it won't literaly means the exact english one for example: أنا إلتقمت تفاحة

[@osamayaseen6974]

تناولت التفاحة التهمت التفاحة

[@habsahabdulrahman4126]

U made it easy . TQ

[@jkpvcz7253]

You dont need the subject because the conjugation of the verb tells you what the pronoun behind it is.

[@mamarsebai1548]

There are a few factors in teaching yourself to speak Arabic . One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Mirykal Lingo Guide (google it if you're interested) definately the best resource that I have ever seen. Look at all the incredible information .

[@jamham9699]

This was super helpful

[@renadnasr7091]

hey hey hey hold on I'm arabian and the order of the sentence is subject verb object or sometimes the subject is sometimes hidden in the verb

[@alocin110]

Reply to "Eagles Hunter" .....You are talking something that is in advance topic. I speak Persian (Farsi), Russian, English, Spanish and now learning Arabic. What you were trying to say without using the correct technical word is "Inflection" in a language. You can see that in Arabic, Persian, Russian, Spanish and not in English. In Arabic, Persian, and Russian languages, the inflections are very visible, thus the subject is almost all the time omitted meaning not spoken for normal conversation. For example: Tengo algo de dinero.(I have some money: Spanish) Tengo: means I have, now tienes algo de dinero (you have some money) in both sentences the subject is not there because the verb Tengo and Tienes refere to "subject'. In Russian language the form of "verb" changes with the subject. For example; "Я играю каждый день" means "I play everyday." but from the verb играть it changes to играю.-ю denotes "I" so играю means I play. You play: играешь they play: играют. we play: играем same inflections are used extensively in Farsi (Persian) in verb and objects and nouns: I played بازی کردم here "I" is not spoken, and بازی کردی the subject "You" is omitted. But from learning point of view it is good to clarify and that is what they were teaching in Arabic grammar. In Russian language the root verb to be is "Igraat: to play", igrayo (i play), igrat (he/she plays), igraeem (we play), igrayoot (they play), in Persian, kerdam (I did), kerd (he/she did), kerdee (you did), kerdeed (you did:respectful) kerdeem (we did), kerdand (they did). So these are the "INFLECTION" in verb, noun, and subject etc. In Arabic: Kitaab (book), Kitaabi (my book); kitabuk (your book), in Farsi Kitabam (my book), kitabet (your book) whereas in English there are no such inflection, my, your, his, our are used instead without using suffix to the noun. Arabic language is complete and without confusion. It has "Singular form", "Duality Form", and "Plural Form" and inflections in verb changes accordingly. For example in English: "He took his horse? here "His" is ambiguous, "his" of a third person or his own. Whereas this ambiguity is not possible in Arabic. As far as my studies are concerned I found Arabic the most complete and the richest language we speak in this world.

[@Agreedtodisagree]

You don’t really أنا because أكلت already has أنا in it.

[@charliewheeler7307]

شكران!

[@mustafayousif2696]

Charlie Wheeler شكراً* 🤗

[@curtpiazza1688]

Clear concise lesson!

[@mariama.7940]

'ate' is not the translation of اكلت. it should be 'eat' in its imperfect or present tense. verbs in arabic are conjugated based on its tense and the doer, that is why pronouns sometimes not needed.

[@MKo-cu5rn]

1:40 no it's not, the word order in Arabic can be svo or vso , how come you say it must be svo ?? If the sentence in arabic starts with a verb we call it"verb sentence" and if it starts with a subject such as "i" we call it "noun sentence" so please you're supposed to be qualified and in aware of the arabic simple grammar in order to teach the none Arabic speakers..

[@EfranceNagadya]

Thanks but how can it be that in English you said I eat apple and in arabic it's ate I an apple am confused any one to elaborate to me how it comes

[@Abo_Saeed707]

[@mohammedhassan6439]

Actually the word order in arabic is very flexible.. it can be in very different orders.. Verb subject object Verb object subject Object subject verb Object verb subject Subject verb object Subject object verb Each order of these is correct.. it's just some are very rare in everday use and some are more common

[@ventmistral2156]

Tu raconte n'importe quoi.

[@mohammedhassan6439]

This video is full of mistakes. the word order is very flexible, and they got the subject omitting wrong too.. yes there's subject omiiting in arabic but what the video explained as subject omiiting isn't omitting at all, the subject is present, it's just attached to the end of the verb. They presented أكلت as the verb but it's actually the verb + the subject.. أكل is the verb and ت is the subject

[@Nawalsamer04]

As an Arabian I am telling you welcome to hell it’s hard but worth it

[@azzaabbas5751]

This is incorrect the subject is in the sentence the end of each verb gives the listener information about who did the verb ( Akal) is the verb and (tu) is the subject I ate . You never have to add another subject this is completely incorrect.. the subject is connected to the verb

it's not that the subject is omitted altogether but it's EMBEDDED in the verb itself otherwise you wouldn't know who is talking

[@miaw.5819]

This video has been up since 2016. Is this way of teaching seriously incorrect OR are they just teaching something basic for an English speaker who is learning a completely new alphabet as well. While it’s appreciated that in Arabic you have freedom to use various word orders - a beginner can’t learn all of them at once. In addition, the teacher is a native speaker. Is it because she’s using a different dialect?? So confused! 🤷🏽‍♀️

يا جماعة "انا اكلت تفاحة" او "اكلت انا تفاحة" او " تفاحة انا اكلت" او "اكلت تفاحة انا" كلها صح، المشكلة انها لا تحتاج الى تغيير الترتيب من الانجليزية الى العربية، تغيير الترتيب يصعبها على المقابل

[@aseelabdulaziz1972]

kadag meira لا غير صحيحة، هي مفهومة لكن غير صحيحة تماما الجملة الاولى (اكلت انا التفاحة) الفاعل ليس *انا* بل هو زائد لا معنى من وجوده بل يخل بالجملة فالفاعل هو الضمير *ت* وهو ضمير متكلم ظاهر متصل ويغني تماما عن *انا* والقاعدة تقول ان كان الضمير "بعد" الفعل فالافصح ضمير المتصل وليس المنفصل فما بالك بإضافتهما معا . الجملة الثانية (انا اكلت التفاحة) جملة صحيحة لا غبار عليها وهي جملة أسمية المبتدأ فيها الضمير انا والخبر فيها الجملة الفعلية *انا اكلت* الجملة الثالثة (اكلت التفاحة انا) مثل الجملة الاولى لا معنى من *انا* الا ان كانت لغرض التاكيد والافصح القول اكلت التفاحة او انا اكلت التفاحة .

this is NOTHING. wait til you see chinese and vietnamese, where the sheer changing pitch of the word completely changes it to another word. they didn't even talk about all the glottal stops in arabic and other languages like tongan here. most english only speakers don't even know what a glottal stop is.

[@neletxe3479]

Please don't believe their BS, you can't say "akaltu ana tuffaha" because you can't have 2 agents in the same sentence in Arabic, you see, the tu/ta/ti/tum/tuma/tunna (you know, the pronoun) is the agent, you can't add another agent (ana) to that sentence. However, you can say "ana akaltu tuffaha" because "ana" here is the subject not the agent

No, In Arabic we can say; أنا اكلت التفاحة . أكلت التفاحة . الجملة الأولى هي جملة اسمية . الجملة الثانية جملة فعلية . اللغة العربية تستوعب جميع لغات الدنيا . الجملة الإنكليزية هي جملة فعلية فقط، لا تكتمل الجملة الإنكليزية دون فعل. تعليم اللغة العربية ليس لكل من هب ودب.

I can't believe it , no one on the earth , is saying , akaltu Anna tufaaha lolllllllll , totally wrong , u should say , ana akltu tubahaa I. ate. apple

[@yassinezanina]

In arabic there are if I may say 2 types of sentences: ones that start with the verbe and ones that start with the subject.. meaning its either "I ate an apple = انا اكلت تفاحة" this sentence starts with the subject or simply "ate apple = اكلت تفاحة" this one that starts with the verbe which isn he most common one because we tend to remove the subject because of the suffix we add to the last of the verbe "ت" that indicates the subject who made the act.. but never in my life have I heard someone say ate I an apple maybe in poems and novels but mainstream language nobody uses it kinda like a Shakespearean language..

[@amjadz7618]

It can VSO or mix depending on many factors.. just like Russian
