I assume it's Jenny?
If it is then جيني ,there is no شدة on "n". There is a Syrian actress who has this name and it's written the way i told you. she is half Ukrainian though, so this name doesn't exist for pure Syrians, although "Jane" does. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I am glad to remove a huge burdon of your shoulders Jenny.
But i wonder what Arab could get wrong with writing your name, i mean seeing 2 "n"s won't necessarly mean there is a "شدة" on it. You know what "شدة" means right? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Oh, to explain the other words:
"جنّي" with "كسرة" on "j" is an order to a female to go crazy. "جني" with "فتحة" on "j" and without "شدة" means "earn" or "collect". " جني المحصول" means "harvest". You chose a very hard language to study. I was born in Ukraine "my mother is Russian" and when i went to Syria, i could only talk in MSA Arabic till the fourth class and the kdis used to laugh at me cuz MSA is never used outside of school and literature. I found hard time learning it although i lived there since childhood and i have learned it mostly cuz i used to play with the kids outside. So you really need to visit some arabic country and live there for some time to master it, but first ofcourse you have to learn the basics and as much as you can from the language and then test it in some arabic country. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hello, Quabazza! Yes, I definitely saw your message. Thanks! Let's see: I do like rock, but not necessarily punk (although I'm open to any recommendations. Plus, I think Icaria909, my teammate, is intrigued by your recs as well. So please, offer anything! Life's an adventure). In English, a good representative band for what I like in rock is the "Offspring." But I also like haunting, minor-key rock ballads, like "Behind Blue Eyes" from The Who (although if I'm honest with myself, I like Limp Bizkit's remake better). In Spanish, I've recently been getting into "El cuarteto de nos"--which is to say I like their one song "Me amo." But ah, Spanish! There I love the cumbia, merengue, some salsa, reggaetón, tejano, and even some sad bachatas.
And yes, that "Geld" book is heavy! :) For me, it's also one of the first books in a foreign language where the main objective is to learn about a new phenomenon, as opposed to exposing myself to the language. I feel very challenged! But I think it might be one of those books to revisit and mine for sentences. I like your goal of reading so many books from around the world! 1 person has voted this message useful | |
