Marhaba! I believe "za3lan" for masculine is written incorrectly in Arabic

@Julie thank you so much for pointing this out! Looks like we had the feminine form for both :)

Marhaba! When expressing feelings, when would we use just pronoun + adjective (ana jo3aneh) versus "I feel + adjective" (bish3ar jo3aneh)? Is there a difference?

Ammar from Hob Learning • 10 months agoHob team

Hello Stratton, great question! Technically you can use both interchangeably, however the way you just used "bish3ar jo3aneh" is incorrect, the correct way would be "Ash3ur biljoo3" so you use the noun hunger instead of hungry but this sentence is generally more use in MSA. In Levantine Arabic you would say "Ju3aneh (f)" or "7asseh (f) bjoo3" and both would basically mean the same thing
