Questions & Answers about صديقي يحجز تذكرة الدخول مسبقا.

Why does صديقي mean my friend? Where is the word my?

In Arabic, possession is often shown with a suffix attached to the noun.

• صديق = friend
• صديقي = my friend

The final ـي means my.

So instead of saying a separate word for my, Arabic usually attaches it directly:

• كتابي = my book
• بيتي = my house
• صديقي = my friend

How is صديقي pronounced?

It is pronounced roughly ṣadīqī.

A few pronunciation notes:

• ص is a heavy/emphatic s
• د = d
• ي can represent a long ee sound
• ق is a deep q sound, not an English k
• the final ـي is again ee, meaning my

So the word has two long ee sounds: ṣa-dī-qī.
