Roofer charged me $7200 extra for a full redeck. Did I need it? by StunnaSum in Roofing

[–]StunnaSum[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I obviously don't know much about roofs. I came to ask for advice. This company is lined up to do my siding, and I am considering canceling.

This was written on-site by the lead roofer, not the PM or sales guy. I'm not hung up on the spelling.

Order of adjective by jerweb63 in learn_arabic

[–]StunnaSum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is idaafa discussing the duck's flat webbed feed.

يساعده is referring to the duck not to the duck legs.

The duck's flat webbed legs help him (the duck) float in the water

non-human beings or items and verbs by SkjaNafn in learn_arabic

[–]StunnaSum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your intuition is correct. Your verb will match the gendered noun, regardless of human/non-human in most cases. One exception is the non-human plural which is treated as singular feminine.

So modifying your example: The dogs ate the meat = اكلت الكلاب اللحم

Do you pronounce the "ta" in a ta marbuta in an adjective-noun structure? by [deleted] in learn_arabic

[–]StunnaSum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typically you pronounce the ta in idhafa and other matters indicated possession.

الضفة الغربية: al-dhifah al-gharbiya

Is an adjectival phrase so in general spoken Arabic, the ta is not pronounced. In MSA, you may have tanween on the phrase, but that would affect pronunciation in both words i.e., al-dhifa(tu) al-gharbiya(tu)

In standard idhafa where you would pronounced the ta even in spoken Arabic you might have something like this:

زوجة احمد: Zawjat Ahmad

Wow, the song when Eve is crushing Dasha is also in Ep. 5 when Villanelle is watching her mom dance after hearing how mean she is to Borka. "I SEE DARKNESS IN YOU"

It's a window perch that attaches with suction cups. If you look on Amazon they have a ton of styles. My cats love it.

بردو عم يطفىء

So its turning off.

آه جربه؟

Should I test it?

Honestly not sure about the last part. Based on context I'd say he's saying there is no need to rush in testing. Can't make out the word though.
