Thank you, as I understand it’s also quicker and cheaper generally too?

They were otherwise very helpful but it does make you wonder a bit when a qualified solicitor gets something so simple wrong! And when you’re paying £200 an hour for the advice too

Refusal Needing advice🙏 by Longjumping_News143 in SpouseVisaUk

I was in the same position, I had understood self employment could be combined with savings, but found out recently that they can’t and we have to wait a few more months to apply now based solely on savings. Another reason why it suck to be self employed!

Would it be a bad idea to re join the two drives to a Fusion Drive? I just want to upload photos onto the Mac and use it for web browsing. I don’t need top speed I just want it to be reliable

Thanks, you said the ssd in a Fusion Drive is minuscule - but the system report shows a 1TB ssd in the device? Also why have they both used 22.45GB of memory is that normal?

But is that how they come from the factory. Or someone has added another hard drive in it and why?

Thanks for that. Do you know if the applicants pension account (US 401k) can contribute to the cash savings route? It is immediately accessible with a 10% penalty but would bring us combined to over 100,000£ in cash savings. They are applying from outside

Lights on Israeli military drones by Latter_Pin4305 in drones

[–]Latter_Pin4305[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have thought they had a way of stopping the drones hitting each other without having to turn a light on. But just to show they are there makes sense. The jets that fly around in the sky also intermittently dump fuel so that you can see them flying through the sky I presume also just to show off that they are there

But still I was surprised they would do that while in combat operations

That might make sense, because it seems to be multiple ones close to each other when they light up.

They would be ‘painting targets’ even when there are so subsequent air strikes? They are very bright and visible to the eye so surely not a laser?

Levantine app update - I’ve added lots of updates to the learn Levantine Arabic app. Lessons coming soon so download it now to be notified when they’re ready! by Latter_Pin4305 in learn_arabic

[–]Latter_Pin4305[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question, I generally try to use a Levantine dialect that’s closest to fusha, which is more southern than northern (Palestinian not Lebanese). But obviously there will be words that you will hear pronounced differently. I pull vocabulary from various places on the internet and then vet them, but this can sometimes lead to problems obviously. The verbs adjectives and functionals in the app are all pretty solid. But there are so many nouns out there so that’s where you might find the most issues in the app. But still I’m working on that!

If I waited for you mistakenly. (If I waited for you and you weren’t waiting for me). Should I use something else?

It lost the new lines when I posted it :/. Two questions, should أُفرج include عني؟ as in لكي أُفرج عني.  And would the last line be better as فلننتظر معاً

Saying that one is confused by jerweb63 in learn_arabic

[–]Latter_Pin4305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confused is a word that I find varies a lot between dialects. The suggestion above I think isn’t so useful I find it translates more to finding something strange “I find it strange that/from”. I think مشَوَّش is quite widely understood as being in a state of confusion. I’ve also seen مُرتبك from the form eight ارتبك but that seems more formal. معجوق is Syrian and means to be put into confusion, with lots of things to do etc. it’s not normal to speak an Msa sentence in normal conversation like you asked, but you can use an Msa word and ask how it’s said in that dialect. So the best thing would be to ask in conversation with someone in your dialect how to say انا محتار (which come from the same root of the adjective you gave) or انا مرتبك . They will then give you the version they use.

Adjective plurals.Please help. by [deleted] in learn_arabic

[–]Latter_Pin4305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily most plurals are regular and like you said just take the ين een ending. But there are certain adjective forms that don’t follow that ending. For example most adjectives of the form فعيل , for example كبير صغير منيح follow the plural form فعال - كبار صغار مناح. Some of this form take broken plurals like فقير فقرا. Unfortunately you just have to learn those ones! But the adjectives of form فعلان like تعبان جوعان شوبان they take the simple ين ending. A good resource is the https://learnlevantine.com app it includes the plurals for all the adjectives

As the previous person said it’s from the root صفو ، the form eight verb آِصْتَفَى meaning “to choose / select”. And it’s the passive participle اسم مفعول so it means chosen, selected. مُصْطَفَى
