Let's play an arabic game?

[naseeha]

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)
