Hey ppl, just wanted to bring an interesting way to learn some arabic here. hope this thread spurs some results..
here's the deal: for those who started learning arabic from an english tongue, they would see that MANY arabic nouns actually has a root.
when using dictionaries such as the Hans Wher, it's a bit difficult to find the meanings of such nouns because you actually have to find the root verb and then search for it...
here's what we'll do... I will start off by giving a noun and everyone else guesses what the relevent verb is for instance:
if the noun i give is
Action - عمل
then someone has to give the verb that it is derived from which is: عمل
(This was an easy answer)
then that person who has answered correctly can ask a similar question...
get it...
so let me start off with something fairly simple:
entrance - مدخل
(note you need to write the arabic in here if you dont have an arabic keyboard you can use google translate, or any software available online)
