idk if you still wanna know why theres sometimes that symbol on alif (the one that kinda looks like a c or backwards 2) is because the arabic words cant start with vowels and that symbol is a letter called hamza which is the sound that happens right before you would pronounce alif. So like in english the word orange starts with a vowel but if it was written in arabic it would start with a hamza because it starts with a glottal stop and not a vowel sound, like the sound in the middle of uh-oh
Thank you very much, you help me a lot :3

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:
“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”

Things to distract you from feeling sad:
make playlists of songs that make you happy 
eat some fruits and mix them in yogurt
have a long cry if you’ve been holding everything in
don’t go on your phone, brew some tea, sit in a warm comfortable spot and read a book 
don’t stay in bed too long
write a list of things that make you excited or happy
listen to music and go for a walk if it’s sunny
watch a feel-good movie and drink a mug of hot chocolate
reminisce good memories, they’re proof that life can be lovely
spray some perfume
read posts or quotes that inspire you

Why the phonem of the first alphabet’s letter is like “a”? This happens in romance languages, arabic, georgian, polish and germanic languages. (maybe this happens in many others, but that’s the alphabets that I know)
maybe is because their countries is geographical next, there aren’t an ocean between them, and their civilizations are, basically, equally old

hey everyone, it’s not a myth: arabic is very hard and very complex, they have three numbers in declinations: one, two and multiple !

My reasons to learn dialect arabic and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
Tumblr media
MSA: I could read newspapers, magazine, understand movies’ subtitles, papers, articles, watch to news, speak with on academic spaces, comunicate with people on internet, in general, “everyone” could understand me it’s harder, i could understand wikipedia
Dialect: i could read comments on internet, understand movies’ audio, listen to music, comunication with a part of some region, it’s easier, i could understand facebook’s pages, vloggers and bloggers
Choose a dialect whose more similar to MSA, and there’s more content, speak arabic is a spectrum between MSA and a dialect, some linguistics say that should separate dialects like differents languages, dialects can change in the same country =(

Can’t see yourself waking up at 6 am every morning? That’s okay, start at 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 if you need to. Can’t cook a proper meal yet? That’s fine, start by just boiling some pasta, or making some rice, or baking a cake from boxed cake mix. Don’t see yourself going for a run or doing yoga any time soon? Just aim to take a few extra steps and stretch during commercial breaks while watching TV. Every little step counts, you’re doing great.
