In this post, I provide some vocabulary that can be useful when talking about parts of the body. The list is not comprehensive, but it includes the major parts from head to foot. If you would like to learn other parts, please post your question in a comment, I will be happy to provide the translation.

FATADIN ANWAR-HUSSEN NAGUIB:
I would like to have a comprehensive list ” PARTS OF THE BODY “
Mats:
I enjoy reading your blog very much, but I find that I need to look the words up to know the vowels. Would it be possible to add either حركات or romanization?
Aziza:
Ahlan Fatadin,
Thank you very much for your comment. A comprehensive list would be too long for a blog entry, but in the future, I can provide a more detailed list for sections like head, limbs, etc.
Salam,
Aziza
Aziza:
Ahlan Mats,
I can fully understand that you may find it difficult to read words correctly without vowelling, and I will do my best to add it in the future.
Salam,
Aziza
Juan:
I fully agree with Mats,
I was writting the same comment when I noticed that Mats already requested the same and that Ariza replied, thanks Ariza for that.
For people like me that are trying to learn the language as a “hobbie” and likely not attending classes, the current format of the blog is very appropriate.
If the posts were longer, it would make them boring and honestly, if you see a long list of words that you do not know you will probably make no effort to learn them all.
If the list is short, I can “give a try” and I am sure that I will remember more at the end.
As possible topics for future posts, I would ask for tematic or common use verb lists (past/present and masdar).
There are already posts on verbs and masdar, I know. I just found them useful.
