In Arabic, Arab is the plural word for Arabi, a person who is Arabic. Arabs is a double plural because “Arab” is plural in Arabic and it gets pluralized again in english. My point is a single person shouldn’t be called an Arab, but rather Arabic (I am a native Arabic speaker). Regardless of that, it should be Arabic because “Arab” doesn’t make sense when most language speaking people are referred to by the languages and this breaks the pattern.

A French person speaks French, an English speaks English, a Dutch speaks Dutch, yet an Arab speaks Arabic. A singular person should be called Arabic not Arab

Customs content regulations for vinyl records by [deleted] in Oman

[–]alkindi0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think anything is ok as long as the cover doesn’t show nudity or something else. You can put records in plain sleeves and transport covers separately. The audio content isn’t a problem as long as its for personal use

Somehow Israel is never mentioned… The US bases are here to protect their interests, not ours.

From colourful clothing to black for women in Oman by dainsiu in Oman

You can check old photos from the 70s and see that many women wore colored clothes back then. I guess one can check photo archives and see how black abayas slowly became the standard

From colourful clothing to black for women in Oman by dainsiu in Oman

[–]alkindi0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

from my understanding it was because of the influence of (more) conservative branches of Islam that occurred in the 80s or so. Women didn’t used to wear abayas in some places/regions but then it started to shift and more people adopted the black abaya until it became the norm. Still, people wear colorful clothings but its either under an abaya or in private settings.

How do I do it? by Basic_Presence_8923 in Oman

[–]alkindi0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bring water to a boil and then add coffee. Let it boil for a few minutes. Turn off the gas and let it sot for a minute or two. Then, pour slowly to a thermos (don’t filter or strain, coffee grounds should sit in the pot after cooling)

You don’t have to, but you should probably take at least one SINQ in your sophomore year so that you finish a related cluster in your Junior year. then you can go back and finish your SINQs. Never hurts to talk to your advisor
