Hello! I am a beginner and I'd like to learn about arabic grammar. I already know the alphabet & reading/writing in arabic, but I don't really know where to begin actually learning the language itself.

Any pointers would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi anon!

Alright! I'll try to think of a few important things to start with :

1- Dual form in Arabic المثنى, it's not difficult but it's still important.

2-It's very important to learn the different pronouns in Arabic. There are the attached pronouns ضمائر متصلة and the detached pronouns ضمائر منفصلة. The attached are more important and more relevant, but of course it's important to study them all. Learn about the pronouns that get attached to nouns, to verbs and particles.

3- Counting rules in Arabic (when the counted corresponds with the number and when it does not)

4- plurals in Arabic - there are three types of plurals, the feminine sound plural, the masculine sound plural and the broken plural. For the broken plural, I suggest just making a list of the words and learning them as you go.

5- the marks of feminin nouns (the اء , the ى and ة)

6- Types of hamza (wasl وصل vs qat' قطع)

7- the rules of writing the hamza in the middle of the word (as you know, the medial hamza can have different supports ؤ ئ أ or it could be written on the line ء)

8- The roots of the words and verb conjugations

9-Flexible alif الألف اللينة

10-Have a simple introduction about the sentence structure in Arabic.

my favorite aspect of trey & romana iii whom i portray is how genuinely cold she is underneath her otherwise very warm & charming exterior

when the unvossi ambassador reminds romana ii of the flowers he left her & says to leave them in her office for they will bloom for one hundred years & she'll have something to remember him by, she obliges, more specifically because it is her failure to adjust gallifrey's transduction barriers that result in his death (he isn't real, of course, but she doesn't know that at the time). romana iii pointedly tells narvin to get rid of those flowers the second that office becomes her own

her second incarnation is an inverse of her third, with a very cold, calculated & potentially ruthless exterior whose emotional core is quite untreated, she dares not show anybody how she feels for fear that it may be used against her, as it was on etra prime, as it is on gallifrey, she is always guarding herself. with leela & narvin being the very few exceptions to the rule. romana iii is more honest with her feelings, more open to embrace the people she cares for, the people she considers friends, but it's a manufactured sense of closeness & understanding to be used against them whenever it suits her

she is a product of gallifrey, born neither out of recklessness or vanity but as a concession to the high council, of a promise to regenerate should she be elected president when her second self couldn't any longer. someone suited to lead gallifrey into a golden age of progress, apt at playing the time lords at their own game where her prior self struggled to hold onto power

ooc: Woke up with So Many Thoughts on the Fifteenth Doctor… and I am TRULY at war with myself about whether or not I wanna wade into fandom discourse…

I don’t…

But WOW, what a fascinating and beautiful knot the production team has created for themselves…

My Uni’s Music Society offers instrumental classes for very low prices and I impulsively joined the beginner pop singing class (there are 8 people in our class) (ITS LIKE 116 USD FOR 7 50-MINUTE LESSONS ITS SUCH A STEAL) and I MET SOMEONE WHO ALSO LIKES MUSICALS AND IS STUDYING THE SAME PROGRAMME A YEAR ABOVE ME BY SHEER LUCK IM SO HAPPY!! She likes phantom the most, and likes Rent, six (which she saw irl in the uk), hamilton (which we rapped satisfied together on our way after class HAHA) I CAN WORK WITH THAT

I do have to choose a song to work on for the next 6 lessons that 1. Can’t be genderbent, so it has female-sung 2. Has to be slightly challenging 3. Best be a solo I am Open to suggestions bc there are only two Epic songs that fit this criteria (NSFLY and The Challenge)

So it seems the consensus that within the fandom is that the existence of other lands (since Jalala’s introduction) suggests the possibility of there being more Sheepfolk elsewhere. Whether they are in other lands natively or seeking refuge is unclear in my mind but in the Lands of the Old Faith there seems to be a limited number of species that inhabit it (obvs this is due to the devs not being to put in Every Single Animal Ever), but in-verse I think it’s most likely due to the Lands of the Old Faith being cut off from the rest of the world (so says the Fanatic’s lore tablets).

If there are sheep elsewhere, I wonder if they have heard about the Lamb. Like, I wonder how fast news would travel from the Lands of the Old Faith to the outside continents—or if there is any news at all coming out. Plimbo actively trading at the port with outsiders suggests there would be an exchange of not only goods, but information. How muddied up this information is probably varies! What sort of rumors does the outside world hear…but anyways.

I wonder what the Outside Sheepfolk would think of the Lamb and what they’ve become. I headcanon them as largely pacifist semi-nomads / pastoralists, with the exception of Guardian societal roles (Sheep who are both physically strong but shrewd in civil affairs), so unnecessary violence is both vulgar and (religiously) discouraged. Would the Lamb too wonder how they would be viewed by outside Sheepfolk if they ever discovered they existed? Would they accept the Lamb into their communities after all they’ve heard? Would the Lamb, yet again, be alienated in this world? much 2 think about

The thing that sucks about knowing the context for a popular ship redraw meme or incorrect quote is watching people be so so incorrect about it and just having to sit there, gripping your thigh, reminding yourself of your values

My personal problem is the quote from "Everything Everywhere All At Once": "In another life I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"

Because every day EVERY DAY even with ships I love, I watch people use it as a "Oh my god isn't it so tragic that these two characters are forced to suffer the horrors or to be ripped apart when in their heart of hearts they want to be living domestically and doing laundry and taxes?"

And I have to sit there and think "No no you don't get it! That line wasn't the tragedy of the characters not having a better life where they can just be together. It's a different kind of tragedy! The main character didn't like her normal Chinese immigrant life of running a laundromat and dealing with taxes and her family in the USA. Once she learned about all of these different worlds, she began to feel even more like her current life was one that she didn't want. In fact, this life where the guy said that popular line was one where she chose not to go to the USA with him to build a life and love together and became a famous actress instead. She has been thinking about how her husband truly held her down and stifled her life. How if she hadn’t chosen him she wouldn't have had to deal with him and her life would be better and more exciting. And so she's talking to this alternate version of her husband who never became her husband, and she starts making a case for why this is the best outcome. After all, who would want to live in a laundromat and do taxes when she can be a movie star and have anyone she wants? And this is when he tells her that that life that she rejects, that she feels is lowly and one that no one would want, is something that he wants. He doesn't care that she's a famous actress now, he would have loved to just live a simple life with her, even if it was hard and taxing. And this moment in the movie is so so many things (things I'm not even doing justice to here), but it is also a major moment that highlights the disparity in these two characters (even if one isn't her og husband) and their desires.

The main character feels trapped in her life and that she never lived up to her potential. Her husband truly would want to be with her simply because of the bits where it isn't exciting. Even if they're poor and suffer hardship and do things considered simple and lowly, he would still like that life with her.

So yes every time I see this meme my brain screams "get out of here with your blorbos in an au who tragically can't live normally and domestically. Bring in your blorbos who love(d) each other and are messy and are on the verge of divorce and want different things in life, who have to make a choice in what to do about it. Give me your "person who feels trapped in this small life and wanted bigger and better things who lowkey resents the other who is just supporting them" x "person who understands this life isn't always easy or glamorous but is glad that they get to do it every day with this person, who would choose a life of love with them no matter what"

I finally watched the movie with Judy Garland.

i ...get where some of it is coming from now but... the movie frankly mangled significant elements of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

(and you know. was generally disrespectful to mostly the health and safety—but sometimes also the dignity—of its cast)
