Arabic is first and foremost, actually. Being able to speak Arabic is a Pass Go Collect $200 for the FBI. Russian is secondary, as it's more commonly spoken in the US than Arabic.

Remember, there's terrorists in Russia too, most of them somehow related to Middle Eastern terrorists (likely to lend a hand for Middle Eastern or Arabic terrorism as well), especially the Chechens, who tend to speak Chechen (duh), Russian, and sometimes Arabic.

From what I understand, it's because Russia had previously (and still does, albeit quietly and illegally) supplied terrorist organizations with weapons. Countries and people will do most anything to escape poverty, and terrorist organizations are notoriously rich. And, of course, ten or twenty years ago, America was not Target Number 1 of terrorists, so terrorist suppliers were never aware of what country would feel the brunt of the weapons, if any country would at all. 'Cause terrorists also masqueraded as vigilantes fighting to protect their country.

The Black Widows, Russias's most notorious terrorist group, have both Russian-speaking AND Arabic-speaking members.

They have to. Where do you think they got all their explosives from?

Hello Amani, my name is Robert and I'd just like to say that I think it's great that you are willing to help us understand the Arabic language.. I only know a few phrases myself like the one you've just posted, and words like shukran (thank you) and marhaba (hello), but I don't really have a grasp on the language just yet. I plan on taking it in my upcoming college semester, though.


I was wondering if you could help me with a phrase though.. I think there may be a curse word in it so excuse me if I'm posting something vulgar, but someone who claimed he was from Lebanon was harassing my sister online on MSN Messenger and I got on to tell him to knock it off. That's when he told me to (Pardon my language here) 'go *** urself' and then he said this:

'rou7 ntek ya ebn el charmouta'

I'm curious, is this Arabic or could it be another language? I figured you'd be the expert. Do you know if Lebanon has any other official languages?

Thank you for teaching us and for helping us with our ignorance, lol.

Arabic is crucial if anyone wants to work with the government or in any form of international business, law or relations, as it is quickly becoming "the new Russian" so to speak. With the Cold War days behind us (relatively speaking) and a new age of working through the Middle East, Arabic would be a great language to learn.

Yeah, I've researched tons on that. I think I was Soviet in a past life or something.

How so is Arabic's grammar different? Is there a site or something in which you could learn the alphabet for Arabic? I want to learn but it's the writing system that scares me...

THE ARABIC LANGUAGE
THIS PAGE: Introduction | Is Arabic difficult? | Arabic words in English

INTRODUCTION

ARABIC ranks sixth in the world's league table of languages, with an estimated 186 million native speakers. As the language of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, it is also widely used throughout the Muslim world. It belongs to the Semitic group of languages which also includes Hebrew and Amharic, the main language of Ethiopia.

There are many Arabic dialects. Classical Arabic – the language of the Qur'an – was originally the dialect of Mecca in what is now Saudi Arabia. An adapted form of this, known as Modern Standard Arabic, is used in books, newspapers, on television and radio, in the mosques, and in conversation between educated Arabs from different countries (for example at international conferences).

Local dialects vary, and a Moroccan might have difficulty understanding an Iraqi, even though they speak the same language.

wa alaikom al salam wa rahmat allah wa barakato
most of u think that we arabs are..so strict in a way that we are extreamist... or that arab women are mistreated ... but that a wrong idea...

arab me are really good and they love the women and they give her a high rank in their lives... they treat her in a very good manner.. the fact of (hareem) and(Sultan) is archaic.

our religion (Islam)is very considrate one and it really give us (women) all our right in a way that every women wishes and dreamed about.... that a fact...
******************
feel free to ask any thing abt Islam and about arabic

*****************************



i love u in arabic

love is (hob)

i love..(ana ahob)

i love u(ana ahobak) if it was adreesed to a male..
and(ana ahobek)if it was adressed to a female...
and u can say i love ice cream as ana ahob al-ice-cream...

its like the English word..it has many uses.....



my name Amani it means wishes... hope u like it

Asslam alaikom wa rahmat allah wa barkatoh.

I'm well aware that Arab does not automatically equall Muslim, sorry if I sounded ignorant.

How do you view America and Saudi Arabia? If you are Muslim, how are you affected by it? I've read a lot about women and Islam, but it really varies from country to country so how is it for you?

How do you say, "I love you" and can it be used many ways like in English- you know, romantic love, friendly love, I love icecream etc.?

Do I pronounce everything the way it looks?

Thanks Amani. Oh, does that name mean anything?

Arabic is crucial if anyone wants to work with the government or in any form of international business, law or relations, as it is quickly becoming "the new Russian" so to speak. With the Cold War days behind us (relatively speaking) and a new age of working through the Middle East, Arabic would be a great language to learn.

I should probably take my own advice!

CNA... the word is law samaht... and it means excuse me....



and i don't know about any (brake a leg)
arabic has alot of metaphors and similes and etc.... so there is alot to know abt .....ask me whatever u want but plz be clear abt it.... thanx any way...


*****************************



good mornin in Arabic is (sabah alkhair)

good evening means(masa'a alkhair)


********************************


welcome means (ahlan wa sahalan)


terorism means (erhab)
terrorist means (erhabion)

*********************************
i hope this information is useful

"I'm sorry for the bad behavior of my president."
in arabic it means..
ana asef ala af'al ra'eesana al-saye'ah

and if the speaker was a female she should say ana asfa insted of ana ana asef.....

i live in saudi arabia and i am saudi....

no farsi is a whole other language... but farsi people are muslims(most of them)... don't get confused coz not all muslims are arabs....and not all arabs are muslims.... thanx LH

Translate, "I'm sorry for the bad behavior of my president."

Where are you or your family from that you speak Arabic? I'd love to learn is someday because I want to go into diplomacy or something similar. Is Farsi (sp?) the same as Arabic or what?

And yeah, I know that word is told of its so-called meaning in a book by Coelho, but I want to know the actually dictionary definition.

Kinda like "break a leg" doesn't actually mean break a leg.

I've always wanted to learn Arabic, but it's the alphabet that scares me...if I can deal with Russian grammar easily enough, I don't think Arabic's will be that difficult.

I keep hearing from the Arabs/Muslims in the place I work "Maktub" when someone wants something or is complaining...what is that?
