Questions & Answers about اول طلب توظيف انقبل، والتاني انرفض.

Why is it أول طلب توظيف and not الأول طلب توظيف?

In Levantine, أول + noun is a very normal way to say the first ....

So:

• أول طلب توظيف = the first job application

Arabic does not always place definiteness the same way English does. English almost always wants the with ordinals like the first, the second, but Arabic can express that naturally with أول directly before the noun.

Another possible structure is:

• الطلب الأول = the first application

So both ideas exist, but أول طلب توظيف is perfectly natural here.

What does طلب توظيف literally mean?

Literally:

• طلب = request or application
• توظيف = employment / hiring

So طلب توظيف literally means something like employment application or request for employment, and in natural English that becomes job application.

In everyday Levantine, people might also say things like:

• طلب شغل
• طلب وظيفة

But طلب توظيف is clear and natural.

Why does the sentence use التاني instead of الثاني?
