Welcome back to our series Arabic for Life. In Part 3 we finish our lesson on Arabic you can use at the airport by showing you how to form basic interrogative questions.<\/span><\/p> Of course, when you arrive at the airport, you\u2019ll not only have lots of questions but you\u2019ll also be asked a lot of them as well. So, whether it\u2019s customs, immigration, or at the ticket counter, here are a few of the basics to help you give the right answers<\/span><\/p> We\u2019ll begin with question words in Arabic. In English these are known as \u201cWh- questions\u201d, and they work pretty much the same way only they simply use the Arabic equivalent of their English Wh- counterparts (<\/span>who, what, where, when, why<\/span>, and <\/span>how<\/span>). Notice that Arabic \u201cWh-\u201d questions use the following formula:<\/span><\/p> Wh- word + Verb + Noun?<\/span><\/p> This is a Wh – word to ask about a person or people.<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0633\u064e\u064a\u064f\u0633\u0627\u0641\u0650\u0631\u064f \u0645\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0643\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/man sayusaafiru ma\u02bbak\/<\/span><\/p> Who will pick you up at the airport?<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u064e\u0646<\/span> <\/span>\u0633\u064e\u064a\u064e\u0635\u0637\u064e\u062d\u0650\u0628\u064f\u0643<\/span> <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064e\u0637\u0627\u0631\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/man sayaSTaHibuka min ilmaTaar\/<\/span><\/p> Both of these words ask the question \u201cwhat\u201d, however, <\/span>\u0645\u0627 <\/span>\/<\/span>maa<\/span>\/ doesn\u2019t used a verb while <\/span>\u0645\u0627\u0630\u0627 <\/span>\/<\/span>maaTHaa<\/span>\/ does.<\/span><\/p> What is your name?)<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u0627<\/span> <\/span>\u0647\u064e\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0650\u0633\u0645\u064f\u0643\u061f<\/span> What about your luggage?<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u0627\u0630\u0627<\/span> <\/span>\u0639\u064e\u0646<\/span> <\/span>\u0623\u064e\u0645\u062a\u0650\u0639\u064e\u062a\u0650\u0643\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/maaTHaa \u02bban \u02bcamti\u02bbatik\/<\/span><\/p> This is a word that asks about \u201cwhere\u201d something is.<\/span><\/p> \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0623\u064e\u064a\u0646\u064e \u062a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0648\u064e\u062c\u0651\u064e\u0647 \u0637\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0631\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u064a\u064e\u0648\u0645\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/\u02bcilaa \u02bcayna tatawajjah Taa\u02bciratuk ilyawm\/<\/span><\/p> Where will you be staying in Amman?<\/span><\/p> \u0623\u064e\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0633\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0642\u064a\u0645\u064f \u0641\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0645\u0651\u0627\u0646\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/\u02bcayna satuqeemu fee \u02bbammaan\/<\/span><\/p> This is a word to ask about when something happens, happened or will happen.<\/span><\/p> When is the flight from Philadelphia arriving?<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u064e\u062a\u0649 \u062a\u064e\u0635\u0650\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u0650\u062d\u0644\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646 \u0641\u064a\u0644\u0627\u062f\u0650\u0644\u0641\u064a\u0627\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/mataa taSilu irriHlah min felaadilfyaa\/<\/span><\/p> When does your passport expire?<\/span><\/p> \u0645\u062a\u0649 \u062a\u064e\u0646\u062a\u064e\u0647\u064a \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0627\u062d\u064a\u0651\u064e\u0629\u064f \u062c\u064e\u0648\u0627\u0632\u0650 \u0633\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0631\u0650\u0643\u061f<\/span><\/p> \/mataa tantahee SalaaHyyatu jawaazi safarik\/<\/span><\/p> Add two letters to \u201c<\/span>maaTHaa<\/span>\u201d and you get the question \u201cwhy\u201d in Arabic.
