*Arabic (العربية al-ʿarabīyyah or عربي/عربى ʿarabī ) is a name applied to the descendants of the Classical Arabic language of the 6th century CE. This includes both the literary language (Modern Standard Arabic or Literary Arabic, used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and radio broadcasts) and the spoken Arabic varieties, spoken in a wide arc of territory stretching across the Middle East and North Africa. Arabic is a Central Semitic language, closely related to Hebrew and the Neo-Aramaic languages, and also related to the South Semitic languages (e.g., Amharic in Ethiopia, Tigrinya in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and Mehri in Yemen and Oman) and the extinct East Semitic languages (e.g., Akkadian, first attested nearly 5,000 years ago). The written language is distinct from and more conservative than all of the spoken varieties, and the two exist in a state known as diglossia, used side-by-side for different societal functions.

side—dish:

In this post I’ll quickly explain how you form the dutch word ”zijn”. It’s the same as the english verb ”to be”. Once again I’ll put the english words in bold and dutch words in italic.

Present

• I am - Ik ben
• You are (singular)- Jij bent
• He/she is - hij/zij is 
• We are - Wij zijn
• You are  (plural) - Jullie zijn
• They are - Zij zijn
• It is - Het is 

Past

• I was - Ik was
• You were (singular) - Jij was
• He/she was - Hij/zij was
• We were - Wij waren
• You were (plural) - Jullie waren
• They were - Zij waren
• It was - Het was

You can see that they are a lot of similarities.
the use of is :  he/she is - hij/zij is,  it is - het is
and was: I was - Ik was, he/she was - hij/zij was , it was - het was

They’re also some difficulties.
you are - jij bent 
we were - wij waren,  you were (plural) - jullie waren, they were - zij waren

That’s it for lesson 2. It depends on whether there is interest if I’ll do another lesson.

Bye!
