Questions & Answers about جارنا كمان بدو يروح عالبحر بهالعطلة مع اخته.
Can you break the sentence down word by word?
Yes:
- جارنا = our neighbor
- كمان = also / too
- بدو = he wants
- يروح = to go / go
- عالبحر = to the sea / to the beach
- بهالعطلة = in/during this vacation/holiday
- مع = with
- اخته = his sister
A very literal gloss would be:
- Our neighbor also wants go to-the-beach during-this-vacation with his sister.
Natural English: Our neighbor also wants to go to the beach this vacation with his sister.
Why does جارنا mean our neighbor, and why is there no الـ?
جارنا is made of:
- جار = neighbor
- نا = our
So جارنا literally means neighbor-our, which in English becomes our neighbor.
As for الـ: in Arabic, when a noun has a possessive suffix like -نا (our), it normally does not take الـ. So:
- جار = a neighbor / neighbor
- الجار = the neighbor
- جارنا = our neighbor
You would not say الجارنا.
