Questions & Answers about سيرتي الذاتية بالملف.
Is سيرتي الذاتية بالملف a complete sentence even though there is no word for is?
Yes. In Arabic, especially in the present tense, the verb to be is often omitted.
So:
- سيرتي الذاتية بالملف
- literally: My CV in the file
- natural meaning: My CV is in the file or My CV is attached in the file
This is completely normal in both Standard Arabic and everyday Levantine-style phrasing.
Why is it سيرتي and not just سيرة?
Because ـي at the end means my.
So:
- سيرة = a biography / profile / résumé
- سيرتي = my biography / my résumé
That ـي is a possessive suffix. English uses a separate word (my), but Arabic often attaches it directly to the noun.
Why are there two words in سيرتي الذاتية?
Because السيرة الذاتية is the full expression for CV / résumé.
It is made of:
- سيرة = biography / record / life story
- ذاتية = personal / self-related
Together, سيرة ذاتية means curriculum vitae / résumé.
When you add my, it becomes:
