Questions & Answers about نعم، نحن مع الفريق.
Does نحن change depending on whether "we" refers to men or women?
No! Unlike "you" and "they" in Arabic, which have different masculine and feminine forms, نحن (we) is used for both men and women, as well as mixed groups.
Why isn't there a word for "are" in this sentence?
In Arabic, simple "am/is/are" sentences in the present tense don't actually use a verb. Instead, you just put the subject (نحن meaning "we") right next to the information about it (مع الفريق meaning "with the team"). This is called a nominal sentence.
I see a short "u" vowel at the end of نحن. Do I pronounce it?
Yes! The word for "we" is pronounced nahnu. It ends with a short "u" sound (called a damma). Unlike some Arabic words where the last vowel is dropped in everyday speech, the "u" in nahnu is usually pronounced clearly.
Does مع mean "with" in every situation?
مع (ma'a) is used when you are accompanying someone or something, like being "with the team" or "with a friend". If you want to say you do something "with a tool" (like writing with a pen), Arabic uses a different preposition.
