Learn to describe your family like this:

أنا عندي أخت وأخ. (Ana ‘indi ukht wa akh.) – I have a sister and a brother.

أبي يعمل مهندساً. (Abi ya‘mal muhandisan.) – My father works as an engineer.

زوجتي اسمها نادين. (Zawjati ismuha Nadeen.) – My wife’s name is Nadine.

You’ll practice building these sentences inside MasterStudy speaking and writing modules.

Here are some polite questions:

هل عندك إخوة؟ (Hal ‘indaka ikhwa?) – Do you have siblings?

كم عدد أفراد عائلتك؟ (Kam ‘adad afrad ‘aaeilatika?) – How many people are in your family?
