What is the best Arabic dictionary for Google Chrome? Google Translate is great - but unfortunately not for Arabic. There is an excellent alternative: the Google Chrome extension "Arabic Dictionary". https://arabic-for-nerds.com/tools/arabic-dictionary-chrome/?feed_id=5700&utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=geralddrissner&utm_campaign=FS%20Poster

seeing so many arabs with that arabic keyboard that also has tashkeel...fathah and kasrah...and dummah and shaddah...sukoon...I don't feel like a real arab anymore

Hey, it's me again. I just re-read what I sent yesterday, and, dude (gender-neutral), I was fasting when I sent that, and I was barely awake, and it sounds like I was hating on the Arabic dub...? I mean, sure, I think they're horrible, and part of me dislikes them, but they were still my childhood.

And about the jokes thing, I get that not every single joke can be translated, but at least they can replace them as you said, or when they translate them, they should try to make it less of a mess than they end up being (like the tashkeel usually ends up wrong when they translate everything literally, and you'll have me, kinda likes e3rab, being like, "No, that should be mansoob, it's maf3ool behe?")

It's been a long time since I watched Zane's Sacrifice in Arabic, but I remember little me found it really funny (on an unrelated note, I have a cousin called Zain, and I hated him, so that might have contributed). With Garmadon getting possessed, his screams were... well, I found them funny. It sounded more like he was pooping than getting possessed.

I watched Ninjago on CN Arabic. I don't remember that much of it since I was little (again, I was about 4-5 when it started, and I started watching it on CN MENA in English when I was about 11; I'm almost 17 rn), and I asked my little siblings about it, and they barely remember anything. But I remember most of what @localguy2 said. I don't think they aired the pilots as I didn't know about their existence recently. CN was obsessed with replaying the same episodes over and over again. They also skipped many parts in the episode itself (like any romantic parts), and they ended up cutting some other parts of the episode, where it got confusing. But I do remember S1's finale airing, like I vividly remember watching Wu get out of the Devourer, sipping his tea, when I was little, so I think @/localguy2 just missed it or something. Which just reminded me of another thing. CN Arabic was so inconsistent with its timings. Like let's say, they would air Ninjago from Sunday to Thursday at 5pm. They would randomly decide to put the new episodes on 1 pm on a Friday, and they'd repeat the old episodes between Sunday-Thursday. So, even without CN itself skipping episodes, we already lost many episodes because of that, and catching up with the plot was practically impossible. I don't think I ever watched SoG on CN Arabic, so I either missed the episode, or for some reason, CN decided not to air that one. And wait, DotD got released in Arabic? I never saw it, and I was so confused how Cole was human again. But I never watched DotD in Arabic.

As of Hunted, I switched to watching Ninjago on CN MENA where they air the episodes in English. They still have the thing where they cut out "romantic" scenes and other stuff (for example, in Crystallized, you know the scene where Harumi is getting the Overlord back? They skipped the whole thing. Like you had Lloyd begging Harumi to be good or something idr, and one second later, the Overlord was walking towards Lloyd). They still skip some episodes (not sure if that happened with Ninjago there, but it's currently happening to Monkie Kid). I recently watched some Ninjago on MBC3 (in Arabic obv because I was bored and they were there, so yk?), and I think they're doing a better job than CN Arabic.

Anywayyy, I should probably go back to sleep; I woke up for su7oor, and I ended up typing my whole life story... sorry

ah it’s okay to be a bit mean to such things

i get what u mean abt the jokes thing needing to sound properly but the fact that ur even MENTIONING e3raab to me should be illegal. i already graduated i should not be subjected to thinking about e3raab anymore 😭😭

mbc3 and CNa had unusual rerun times and it was always a mess trying to figure out when the rerun of an episode of a show would air and would require watching the channel for so long (oh the days of me trying to find out when son//ic x reruns were on mbc3 bc they used to show the new episodes when i couldn’t watch tv (i still remember that it’s reruns were at 3 am 😭)) so some of tkose repeating episodes could’ve been the reruns.

even on netflix when i was looking thru the arabic dub for double trouble they just cut the whole scene between nya n bizarro jay which i thought was weird of netflix but i guess that’s just because these episodes were the ones that were shown on TV. but i remember seeing a video on youtube abt the cut off lmk really weird and random scenes off?? i get the whole thing abt the arab world and not showing kids any sort of pda but they used to sometimes allow non-pda but still implied things thru? the cut offs r more lenient these days but they’re still extremely weird and very obvious. i remember spacetoon used to rewrite scenes and edit the scenes so heavily just to not let any romance plot thru, it usually just made them funnier but kids wouldn’t notice much of a difference

Reading Arabic Course

This course arabic reading takes you through a comprehensive set of skills and the knowledge you will need to have in order to read Arabic effectively. This will comprise the following:

Arabic Alphabet: You will start your course by learning the Arabic alphabet; in other words, you will be able to learn to pronounce and write each letter of the alphabet. This knowledge is pretty foundational for your reading skills. Recognition of the Letters: In the words shown to you, one finds every kind of Arabic letter—isolated, initial, medial, and final. This is important for recognizing Arabic script when shown to you in a different set-up. Of the emphasis laid in our course, one is on having the Arabic sounds right, whether it pertains to consonants, vowels, or diacritical marks (tashkeel), so that one can read with ease and accordingly. Grammar and Syntax: Our course will cover an explanation of important Arabic grammar rules and sentence structure which help one in the exploration and understanding of written Arabic, structurally, and grammatically correct. Practice and Feedback: Our interactive approach gives you enough room for practice by involving exercises in reading and instructors’ feedback aimed to reinforce your understanding and develop your reading skills.

Funfact I randomly remembered: the Arabic word for "mercy" [رحمة] is derived from the Arabic word for "uterus/womb" [رحم]. And if we change around the tashkeel (small vowels, something that isn't available on stupid keyboards) [رحم] can also mean "had mercy on"/"spared". So uhh fun!

From what I understand, the reason for that is because a person's mother is meant to be the person that loves them the most and has the most mercy on them. Fuck anybody with mommy issues ig /j

Idk I love how certain words in Arabic are derived from others and they have a reason for that.

How does google translate know what arabic is saying without tashkeel?

Who are the best Arabic grammarians of all time? Hard to imagine today, but the grandmasters of Arabic grammar were superstars during their lifetime. Here is a list of the TOP 5 Arabic grammarians of all time. https://arabic-for-nerds.com/history/who-are-the-greatest-arabic-grammarians/?feed_id=4812

[foggynightdonut]

The word "quran" in the text itself is not a meaningless proper name as you make it out to be. Hence, what I have is an honorable reading/"quran" not Quran.

Seeking verification is good advice and I always appreciate a good advice. Indeed, I sought verification of 48:24 by looking at the meaning of the word "makkat" in classic Arabic dictionaries.

With further verification against the context, the clear classic Arabic common sense meaning is found to fit perfectly in the context of 48:24.

With more verification, one finds that the early attested manuscripts of the great reading do not have any "tashkeel" and hence "makkat" doesn't have a "fat-ha" and this was added much later.

With even more verification, one finds that the proper name Makkat is NEVER found in ANY "pre-quranic" inscriptions.

So I verified four different ways before making conclusions and all my verification clearly led to the conclusion that "makkat" is not a "pre-quranic" proper name.

On the other hand, you didn't verify any of those things and you simply blindly accept the over 200 years after the fact "tashkeel". You didn't even bother to make a small effort to look at classical Arabic dictionaries otherwise you would have known which ones I used. You gave me an excellent advice, now you ought to heed it.

Peace on who followed the guidance,

Ayman.

Week 11 - 04-18-2024

What's planned this week:

- Review and improve the font handbook. - Start designing posters - Raspberry Bugs + Pencil Case design

What exactly happened:

I finished the font booklet, improved the pages I wanted, and arranged the content better.

Starting to design posters, because I had never tried designing for this project before, so I jumped into it this week.

I finished designing the Raspberry Bugs + pencil case. So I can print them this weekend.

reflection:

I developed a booklet about fonts and revised its content to mirror that of the booklet shapes, incorporating definitions of fonts, their stories, and accompanying illustrations. This alteration is intended to deepen children's comprehension of the subject. Additionally, I introduced new pages at the beginning and end of the booklet featuring fresh ideas.

I initiated the design of posters to grasp the latest trend and how to integrate the Tashkeel identity in a manner that appeals to children and fosters enthusiasm. Moreover, I standardized colors, coordinated text layouts, and minimized deviations to ensure consistency across all books, preparing them for printing. I also enhanced the reading experience for children by refining and expanding the graphics.

Moreover, I designed a tote bag and pencil case.to do proceed with printing this weekend. Additionally, I strategized the organization of the end-of-semester exhibition and outlined the necessary steps to execute it effectively.

Overall, this week proved exceptionally fruitful for me following a brief hiatus. I am confident in my progress toward achieving project objectives, enabling me to meticulously review and refine my work to yield outstanding outcomes.

Art Oasis: The Blossoming Contemporary Art Scene in Dubai

Dubai, renowned globally for its architectural marvels and lavish lifestyle, has evolved into a vibrant hub of contemporary art, solidifying its place on the global cultural map. This transformation has not occurred overnight, but is the result of years of focused efforts, strategic initiatives, and a burgeoning community of artists, curators, and enthusiasts. Dubai’s contemporary art scene is as diverse as its populace, capturing a myriad of styles, themes, and perspectives, creating an oasis of artistic expression in the heart of the desert.

The city's journey towards becoming an art oasis can be traced back to the establishment of the first art galleries in the 1970s and 80s. These pioneers opened doors for the appreciation and commerce of art, paving the way for a burgeoning art market. Over the years, this initial spark has ignited a flame, resulting in a growing cluster of galleries showcasing a plethora of international and local talent.

One of the prominent art districts in Dubai is Alserkal Avenue, located in Al Quoz's industrial heart. Once a row of marble factories, Alserkal Avenue has been transformed into a vibrant cultural district, housing numerous galleries, design studios, and artisanal cafes. This creative neighborhood hosts regular art exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events, providing a platform for artists and art lovers to interact, learn, and explore.

Complementing the private sector's efforts, the government has been instrumental in promoting contemporary art in Dubai. The Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, established in 2008, has initiated several programs to foster artistic talent and appreciation in the city. Moreover, public art installations, such as the ones seen in the Dubai Metro stations and Jumeirah's City Walk, have made art accessible to the wider public, integrating it into the city's daily life.

Dubai's commitment to contemporary art extends to the international arena as well. Art Dubai, an annual art fair launched in 2007, has played a significant role in bringing the global art community to the city. Every year, this event attracts hundreds of galleries from across the world, showcasing thousands of artworks spanning various mediums and styles. Art Dubai has not only elevated the city's cultural stature but has also stimulated the local art market, attracting collectors, curators, and art aficionados.

In addition to promoting visual arts, Dubai has been nurturing other forms of contemporary art, such as performance arts and cinema. The Dubai Opera, a stunning venue for performing arts, regularly hosts ballet performances, musicals, and concerts by local and international artists. On the cinematic front, the Dubai International Film Festival promotes regional cinema and provides a global platform for Arab filmmakers.

The city's contemporary art scene also engages with its rich cultural heritage and societal issues. Artists in Dubai explore themes related to identity, migration, urbanization, and cultural hybridity, among others. These works often bridge the gap between the past and the present, the local and the global, the traditional and the contemporary, reflecting the city's unique cultural dynamics.

Further enhancing the city's cultural scene are the numerous art education initiatives. Institutes such as the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, Tashkeel, and the Art Dubai's Campus program offer courses, workshops, and mentorship opportunities for aspiring artists and designers. These initiatives are cultivating the next generation of creative minds and fostering a culture of artistic exploration and innovation.

In a span of a few decades, Dubai has transitioned from an art desert to a vibrant art oasis, teeming with creativity and cultural expression. The city's contemporary art scene continues to evolve, reflecting the city's ever-changing character and its ongoing cultural journey. It's a testament to Dubai's ambition, its ability to dream and transform those dreams into reality, creating a rich and diverse cultural landscape amidst its urban grandeur.
