Skip, Skip...Skip!

Ok every language has a worst part called grammar....which i am going to skip (i work around my convenience!)

Im starting with sentences...very simple
like.....

This is a house- haza baitun
This is a key- haza miftahun

and some questions ...like

ma haza?- what is this?
a haza baabun?- is this a door?
na'm , haza baabun.- yes, this is a door.

or it can be answerd lik....
la, haza baitun. - no, this is a house

Now we take up persons.....

man haza?-who is this?
haza tabibun-this is a doctor

man haza?-who is this?
haza waladun- this is a boy
(or)
haza taalibun-this is a student

(Talib means student....and i am one!)

a haza waladun?- Is this a boy?
la, haza rajulun- No, this is a man

wa ma haza?- and what is this?
haza jamalun- this is a camel

Another word i wana add is Mudarrasun, it means a teacher

Now we work with that (zalika)

zalika hajarun- that is a stone

ma zalika?- what is that?
zalika najamun- that is a star

haza masjidun, wa zalika baitun- this is a masjid and that is a house

a zalika kalabun?-is that a dog?
la, zalika qittun- no, that is a cat

man haza wa man zalika?- who is this and who is that?
haza mudarrasun wa zalika imaamun- this is a teacher and that is an imam

haza sukkarun wa zalika labanun- this is sugar and that is milk

Ok now i can succesfully point out a man or a boy :)
(not much use...is it?!)
