Question about "(The)" in front of Arabic words

htmlindex · 07-18-2009, 01:56 AM

I've always wondered, with Arabic names why do they have the combination of both "Word" & also "(The)Word", eg. Religion or (The)Religion?

Which one would be more valuable & more used, with or without "(The)"?

I am confused by all of this & any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is as simple as one religion/culture segregating it's self from all the rest.
To emphasize "the" in title means you are the singular, only, no other ... etc. A slight
against all other religions/cultures is how I take it.

Of course this is hyperbole on my part and I really have no knowledge to the reason.

I'll make sure to check back in hopes that one of our members has a valid answer.

Bettet if there is no "the", "the" makes domain secondary

TdotTrader is right. "The" in Arabic is used when your referring or talking about something.

Why do you go to school?
is written
Why do you go to the school(almadrasa)?

I guess you can say, for general purposes, "the" is used when speaking about a noun/object. I would have to say that a domain with "al", "el", has the same value as a domain without.

This is my point of view based on the experience I've had with Arabic as a first language and in school. I don't visit arabic domains, or own any.
