arabic terms related to atheism |
All right folks, I have endeavored to answer my own question
as to how one might say "god does not exist" in arabic.
I offer no warranty on this however and I suggest you seek
out a friendly Arab infidel for confirmation.
This is Iraqi Arabic.
The (t) is a light t sound as in butter.
Pronounce x like ch in loch.
The E is some weird thing used only in arabic.
to be: chaan; saar
there is: (t)aku
there isn't: ma-aku
atheist: (t)ilzaad
atheism: mulzid (plural mulzidiin)
cause: sabab (plural (t)asbaab); gaaya (plural gayaat)
infidel: kaafir (plural kuffaar)
unbeliever: kaafir
infidelity: xiyaana
evidence: bayyna (plural bayynaat)
evolution: tatawwur, rtiqaa(t)
experiment: tajruba (plural tajaarub)
to exist: wujad
existence: wujuud
in existence: mawjuud
not: muu
not (prefix to verb): ma-
"not at all": muu kullish
yes: (t)ii
no: laa
science: Eilim
scientific: Eilmi
scientist: Eaalim (plural) Eulamaa(t)
scholar: Eaalim
scheme: xutta
uncertainty: ziira
nonsense: kalaam faarig; zachi xarut
religion: diin (plural (t)adyaan)
religious (person): mitdayyin
religious (thing): diini
And some fun stuff:
chambermaid: xaadma
sexy: muhayyij
beautiful (feminine): zilwa
"no smoking!": t-tadxiin mamnuuE!
~
diarrhea: (t)ishaal
dung: dimin
ugly: qabiiz
inferiority complex: murakkab naqis
Wheew...so anyway my guess as to how one might say "god doesn't exist"
in iraqi arabic is something along the lines of
ma-aku allah (there isn't a god)
Or
allah ma-chaan mawjuud (god isn't in existence)
But I am not declining or conjudating anything of course.
Interesting point: the dictionary I'm using says
arabic has no verb for "to have". You have to use
prepositions somehow. I guess the gods smited them on that one...

I assume you mean the American pronounciation
of 'butter'.
Pronounce x like ch in loch.

Looks simple and feasible.
Interesting.
Or

This is Iraqi Arabic.
The (t) is a light t sound as in butter.

The E is some weird thing used only in arabic.
also in other semitic and AA langauges, in soem caucasian languages
etc.
there is: (t)aku
there isn't: ma-aku
the above two are typically iraqi
atheist: (t)ilzaad
no. "atheism": 'ilHa:d (what was represented by the poster as "z"
is "H" (soem represnt it in ASCII as 7) the unvoiced equivalent of
what the poster represented as "E"
atheism: mulzid (plural mulzidiin)
atheist (m.): mulHid
the above two are from the standard language.
the colloquial language (iraqi) has also:
di:nsizz "without religion"
and 'i:ma:nsizz "without faith"
iraqi proverb: id-di:nsizz yiri:d-la(h) 'i:ma:nsizz
i.e. "the irreligious requires a faithless person"
see S. Masliyah, J. of Semtic Studies vol. 41 no. 2 (1996)
-sizz < turkish -siz (privative); so in turkish dinsiz , imansIz (as
above)
turkish proverb: "dinsizin hakkIndan imansIz gelir"
i.e. "a faithless person gets the better of an irreligious person"
(the irreligious person gets what he deserves from a faithless
person).

Neither do Russian or Hebrew. As long as there's a way to express
possession, what difference do you think it makes whether it's done
via a verb with the possessor as its subject?

In Malayalam, that would come out as a rhyme - [all.A ill@] (Allah doesn't exist).

Timother McVeigh, like Eric Rudolph, had ties to Christian
'Reconstructionist' groups. McVeigh was more deeply tied to Aryan
Resistance and Posse Comitatus however.

murder.
Did Timothy McVeigh claim to have God on his side?
Timother McVeigh, like Eric Rudolph, had ties to Christian
'Reconstructionist' groups. McVeigh was more deeply tied to Aryan
Resistance and Posse Comitatus however.
So your claim that terrorist bombers claim that "God is on our side" is
incorrect.

Maybe you're cleverer than they and haven't been caught yet.
Uh, yeah. Right.
We don't have that "God is on our side" garbage encouraging us to

Interesting point: the dictionary I'm using says
arabic has no verb for "to have". You have to use
prepositions somehow. I guess the gods smited them on that one...
Hebrew doesn't either. How does that fit in with your interpretation?
I snipped your miserable attempt at discussing Arabic because you
obviously know nothing about Arabic.
You also snipped the part where he said:
"I offer no warranty on this however and I suggest you seek out a
friendly Arab infidel for confirmation."
as well as:
"Wheew...so anyway my guess as to how one might say "god doesn't
exist"
in iraqi arabic is something along the lines of [...]"
Note the "guess" clause.
I think that it's fairly clear that he isn't claiming expertise but is
simply doing his best to work out how to say the phrase with what
little information and knowledge he has of the language.
You reall oughtn't to be crossposting to sci.lang and trying to talk
about language at the same time.
My guess is that he's crossposting to sci.lang in the hopes that those
who do know better can assist him.
It's a shame that you preferred to simply bash him, instead.
