  • I get why the Arabic script looks difficult and hard to decipher, but that is just because it's written in cursive. There are only 28 letters, but to write in cursive we need to connect the letters in a word together, so the letters have to change their shape slightly in order for us to connect them. There are rules for all of this and it's all very consistent and straightforward, check my post history for lessons on the Arabic script.

    Once you learn the 28 letters and their sounds you'll never have a need for transliterated/Anglicized Arabic because in Arabic you read what you write, each letter has only one sound and you should never need any help sounding out a word. And there are only 4 sounds in Arabic that are foreign to an English speaker.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Arabic is the easiest language, but the script and sounds are no way as difficult as people perceive them to be.

  • TBH in some cases Arabic calligraphy sacrifices legibility altogether, it can be an art form after all.

  • I guess I ate some boup today. We need a sprouted bean emoji, It'd become beanis's brother, boup.

    Btw, some people call sprouted fava beans فول بزلومة, lit. beans with trunks in reference to elephants, which sounds similar in Arabic: فيل feel.

  • Fake beanis fans are not gonna try this bean soup out. It's called Fuul Nabit btw (lit. sprouted beans) so don't just boil some regular fava beans

    And it's soup so add whatever you want, I guess.

    Here is a video recipe in Arabic.

  • Yes the pattern is فُعلان.

    So سُبحان is a cognate accusative, and usually the verb itself is omitted.
