Names

Just now in Arabic class, we had to make our family tree, starting from grandparents from both sides coming down to our own siblings.

First and foremost, my thought was--"Darn it, I hope I get m y gradmas' names right"--Cos yes, I don't remember their names well--Shame on me, yeah--cos they've always been Toka Wan and Opah to me.

Next, spelling their names in Arabic letters--Patiah (I think Tok Wan's name is Patiah--Became Bati'ah, with "ain".

Mohd Noor, is, of course, obviously, Muhammad Noor--Mesti instructor tu pikir apehal la orang Melayu ni suka sangat "nur" ni.

Then Tok Abah is Tan. Yes, Tan.

And Opah is Hajariah (I hope it's Hajariah).

Instructor: "Hijariah?"
Amalina: "Hajariah".

*~*~*

Then Abah's name--Amirullah, well, she's seen that several times already.

Then Mak's name: Zaleha.

Instructor: "Zaliha? Laisa ism Arabi."
Amalina: *angguk-angguk*.

Siblings.

Muhammad Hudzaifah...

ZOMG. I WANTED TO LAUGH THINKING HOW I'VE MISSPELLED YOUR NAME ALL THESE YEARS.

Yeah, it's حذيفة.

*~*~*

That's all for today. Sekian.
