Today's
word is a noun in Kuwaiti Arabic, but used as an adjective in English.
So
whereas you'd say 'my favourite brother' in English, you'd say: ukhu-ii
al-mufa'9al in Kuwaiti.
Obviously
'favourite' changes its spelling according to whether the noun it's paired with
is masculine or feminine. In the above example, the word 'brother' is clearly a
masculine word. But how would you say my favourite sister?
Answer: ikhit-ii al-mufa'9alah.
