[arabic-langblr]

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.

it took me 200 years but I finally understand why there are no new Electro Visions given out...

with the caveat that i am not a computer scientist or in any way qualified to speak on machine learning. i think perhaps googles ai summaries are bad because nowadays when you google a question, most of the results are themselves already ai generated. which smells like. a real big problem to me. who is, again, a person who not qualified to smell it.

If Bang used his connections to arrange a surprise meeting between Garou and Kiiro….as in a birthday treat for his baby boy then how do you think it will go?

Hmm, well....probably not in the way Bang (as the old womanizer in his youth) expects, there. ;) Considering the sentai character she plays (as the yellow ranger) likely represents Garou's fictional ideal of a kind hero...his biggest surprise might be realizing that the actress (as the real person behind the role) is not the same as the fictional character(s) she plays. :O Which is just like him, actually - since Garou's true nature is not the same as the 'absolute evil' role he tried so hard to play (as a bad actor) too. Which is ok in that sense...bc if anything, perhaps him realizing that, and becoming at peace with it, would better translate into a lesson where he'd become even more accepting of himself (his real self) that way. :')

john i want you to LOOK at who you keep scratching like do you understand

hm. giving more thought to layla in relation to killing others bc the answer i gave off the cuff didn't seem exactly right. and it's very. grey, i suppose?

in general she doesn't go out of her way to kill people, sticking often to giving people second chances, even if the person doesn't seem repentant. but she also isn't going to spill tears for every person she kills (sorry ember, she's not as devoted to the idea as you, though she admires your dedication to it).

however there are times even she feels it's just not possible. with some she feels no remorse, such as with hulrun who she found vile in his zealotry, but in other cases it is. not smthing she takes any pleasure in doing, and is unable to let go of her sympathy for the person as she does it (wenduag....) to the point it haunts her long after it happened.

i suppose it's interesting in the two instances i can think off as the biggest examples of that scenario, with staunton and wenduag, she still tried to afford them some dignity or peace of mind in the end, like with allowing staunton to have a proper burial or with telling wenduag she was afraid of her potential in wenduag's last moments

camellia's death was an outlier, and is more an example in the position on having to keep making the calls on who lived or died affecting her negatively to the point she goes against what she would normally do in that situation, and then it haunts her because what if's will plague her afterwards.

does any of this make sense. no. i am tired and hungry

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"
