Salam all,

I want to translate the following question, but I have I doubt on how I have to put it :

"You did not see the concert of Fayruz ?"

I translated it as follows :

"ما شهدت حفلة الموسيقية فيروز

But "hafilat elmusiqeeya fayruz" doesn't sound right, so I thought it might be "hafilat el musiqeeya min Fayruz" but that doesn't sound right either (to MY ears ) )

من فيروز

And another question : hafilat elmusiqeeya : that is idafa, right ?

Shukran in advance !

Nadine

Hi Nadine ,


"You did not see the concert of Fayruz ?" i guess the question could be * haven't you seen the concert of Fayrouz? , but i will translate it the way you put it , and it will go like this:

أنت لم ترى الحفلة الموسيقية لفيروز

whereas if you put it the way i said it could be, " haven't you seen the concert of Fayrouz?" the translation will be ألم ترى حفلة فيروز الموسيقية ؟

Nadine

Shukran jazeelan ya Nani !
Salam.

Salam all,

To Nani : I have been trying to find الم ترى
in my dictionnary, but I can't find the meaning of it. I don't know enough of Arabic language and this doesn't look like a verb, so I suppose I cannot translate it as "haven't you seen". This question may look stupid, I know...

To Moutarjem : I don't know enough Arabic to understand everything you said... (Sorry to bother you but would you mind translating it in English? Just like to learn new things).

I understood the part where you said salam to all the persons gathered here and something about a lost address.

My questions :
Further on I read "nisba". So, "hafilat musiqeeya" is a noun + nisba-adjective ?
And no idafa here, I just use "li-Fayruz".
As I didn't put the context, my sentence must not have been clear (sorry). I meant "watch the concert on television", that's why I said "شهد
7adhara would not be appropriate then, I guess (as it means "be present, attend to") ?

Thanks in advance for your kind help .
Nadine
