sorry, i'm just an amateur

salamun 'alayk...

I'm living in Cairo currently. Do u know where on earth this Cairo is? And do u know for how long I've been here? Uh, not forgotten, what kinda language do the local people use?

Haha.

The answers are:~

1) go Google.

2) I'm in my 2nd year of studies.

3) Arabic.

What I'm trying to say here is, I still can't speak Arabic well, urgh!

Arabic is the most spectacular language in this world..it is the language of people in Jannah..it is the language used by Allah to His messenger Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), therefore, it becomes the language of our manual book throughout all epoch ; Al Quran Al Kareem..it is the most beautiful language in the world..I can't describe how wonderful it is, but I know it really is..perhaps u can ask the experts..

Basically, here in Egypt (and most of the Arabian countries), the arabic language is divided into two categories:

1) fushah (usually used in official letter, its originality came from the Quranic verses)

2) amiyah (in everyday life dialog among the local people,plus, i manage to survive in it)

Both of them are different in pronunciation and terms.

Since that I do not have any basic in arabic before, so I learn it in everyday life here. Yes, the amiyah it is. The one that is not the original. No, I don't want that.

I WANT TO LEARN FUSHAH ARABIC.

So, I went to this arabic center to learn it properly. As usual, there was a test to indicates in which level we are.

There were lots of questions. I mean, REALLY loads of them. Some of them I could figure the answers out, while most of them I don't. Here are the last two questions that I've translated and I really want u guys to know about them (my bad, i'm just an amateur).

Question 1: what can u find in the market?

I thought it says: why does there are markets?

My answer: "li anna, ana uriidu firakh, lahmah, baidh, samakun, wa kullu haiwanaat al an'am"

(because, i want chicken, meat, eggs, fish, and all animal that can be eaten.)

Question 2: what can u find in the zoo?

As usual, I thought it says: why does there are zoos?

My answer: "lil syahadah al haiwanaat kathir qabla kullu hum maut"

(for witnessing many animals before they all die.)

[what i was trying to say is about their extinction..hoho~]

I'm sorry if I made your stomach went out from your body. This was surely the most memorable thing that happen in my life this year. Ouh, I need to go. I'm too tired.
