    do u speak arabic @refined-greece-48002 ?
  • r
    no, I've just worked with making apps compatible with it
  • r
    I would love to speak arabic though 馃槃
  • b
    i need someone that can send me an array of arabic letters
  • b
    the one in my lib is guessed, just from stuff i learned about arabic
  • b
    so in hebrew (or any RTL lang), if you wanted to say "and the thing should be 2 > 1 in order to pass", how would you write that? I mean, can you actually write it in hebrew for me to see out of pure curiosity?
  • b
    im planning to learn this year
  • b
    discord messes that up wait a sec
  • b
    they over-engeneered numbers, so it appears like 1 > 2 instead of 2 > 1
  • r
    yep, that sounds famiiliar 馃槃
  • b
    ill write that in my implementation real quick
  • b
    but what you are saying though is, it should be: 
    {in order to pass} 2 > 1 {and the thing should be}
  • b
    kinda
  • b
    obviously, i have no opinion, but that seems so much more complex than 
    {in order to pass} 1 < 2 {and the thing should be}
  • b
    but i dont read RTL languages, and cetainly never did to a point where that sort of nuance came up
  • b
    讜讛讚讘专 讗诪讜专 诇讛讬讜转 1 < 2 讻讚讬 诇注讘讜专
  • b
    i just wrote 1 > 2 in discord and that turned that into 2 > 1 lol
  • b
    right, yeah, the 2 > 1 is LTR, so interesting, and crazy... its like a context switch half way through a sentence
  • r
    @bright-gpu-74537 it's a practical issue... like imagine you are writing a postcode or phone number in your sentence
  • b
    sure but if i was arabic and someone said a phone number to me, i would think i would write it from RTL (i know it doesnt happen that way, i just dont get how / why)
  • b
    it is the same with arabic/fars script and numbers one is RTL the other LTR
  • b
    i used to hate trying to leave the "right gap" for numbers when i was learning arabic in school
  • b
    tell me about that
  • r
    You are in Malta right?
  • b
    yeah, but i grew up in the middle east
  • b
    maltesan is also partly derived from arabic
  • b
    yeah, very similar, semitic roots for sure - its like a bastardization of italian, english and arabic
  • b
    Are numbers really LTR though? they're not really the same as sentences, just because the biggest value is left-most doesn't mean it's LTR 馃
  • b
    the spelling is insane though
  • b
    in arabic the numbers go LTR
