Today's Arabic words

dpatrick
By dpatrick

Interest in learning the Arabic language is quite strong here in Doha, judging from the good response from my previous posts.

So is it easy or difficult to learn this language? And those are our Arabic words for today:

sahil - easy
sa'b - difficult

Osamabawab or any other Arabic-speaking Qlers, please translate the following so we will know how to use these words in a sentence:

I have an easy job.
Our exam yesterday was very difficult.

There is no word for it, Rizks. Although smoking is banned in public places, Arabs don't understand what it means!
