Still getting my daily dose of Arabic via FB posts (Niaz is posting pretty much 1 Arabic picture a day).
In other news, I'm not doing much. Especially that I found a German novel in a library so I'm slowly making my way through to refresh my German. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Malala Yousafzai ملاله یوسفزۍ receives the Nobel Peace Prize today, becoming the youngest Nobel laureate ever at age 17.
I guess it's time to find out how's Nobel Peace Prize in Arabic - even if the Pakistani sources won't cover it, other Arabic-language websites certainly will! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A friendly soul at Alternate History forums solved my problem - time to go look for Arabic sources on Malala, since I believe she's the first female Islamic Nobel Prize winner.
Acapela, as usual, is the key to getting the pronunciation (I always pick one of the male voices since I find them easier to understand with my hearing impairment) New phrases Gubizat Nobil al-salaam جائزة نوبل للسلام Nobel Peace Prize 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

One of my Yemeni friends just liked a Yemeni Wildlife Foundation. Said foundation has a nice big bilingual logo on the FB page - and another website with a nice big bilingual logo which is slightly different.
Cue comparisons and using Acapela... New words Al-muasisa المؤسسة foundation Himaya(t) حماية protection البرية wild الحياة البريّة wildlife Edited by Zireael on 26 October 2014 at 2:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My Tunisian friend just posted on FB.
نحبك يا تونس Aratools gives multiple possibilities for the first word, including: your weeping (noun) nahabki we love you (what I assumed first) we crawl/give you (???) he weeps for you (?) - I think I can exclude this one, since Tunis is feminine New words Saha صحة truth 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Two things this time.
I've noticed my post counter reads 444 (well, 445 now). So to celebrate, time to learn how to write and say it in Arabic! اربعمئة و اربعة و اربعون Arba'u mi'a wa arbatun wa arba'un Binta's Polish friend posted a photo of herself, Binta and some other Polish friends in Arabic garb. The photo is captioned عائلة - "family" (yes, in Arabic). Dunno what it's about, but Binta looks really epic (she is the only one to have the "correct" skintone, being half-Senegalese :D) New words Mi'a(t) مئة hundred Mi'ataan مئتأن two hundred Arba'u mi'a اربعمئة Four hundred A'ila (?) عائلة family (synonymous to al-asrat الأسرة ) 1 person has voted this message useful |
