Talk:موسيقى

Hi. Should the term belong to Category:Arabic nouns with singular in -an, just like. The dual and plural forms and  (without diacritics) seem attestable. I also edited this entry but I think it's a wrong gender and declension pattern. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:50, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Special:Contributions/2001:16A2:507E:1E00:4DAF:53C3:7893:A212 has undone my edit. Not sure if they are a native speaker. What about these and ? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:07, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * This is the Saudi again. His removals of plurals and declensions are annoying, but he is right that it is feminine. After all this is just a rendering of . It is like from  (though this ending is frequent in plant names). Fay Freak (talk) 07:29, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Wehr also says it's feminine but I got confused with my Internet findings. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:55, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I've never seen a plural for the word of music in the literary language, however in Egyptian Arabic it is also possible (but rare) to use a pluralized version موسيقات (treated as a normal feminine word, pluralized with -āt, but other (loan) words are also possible, like (مزكيا, مزيكات, ميوزيك). The problem is that you guys are asking for "native speakers" but Literary Arabic has no native speakers! I myself never use or read the dual for hospital, which in Egyptian Arabic could be مستشفـ(ايـ)تين (also treated as a feminine word, dualized with -(ay)tēn). --Mahmudmasri (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Ha-ha, we expect native Arabic speakers (any dialect) to know some and help us with MSA - the only universal written Arabic accepted in the Arab world. I understand the entry is OK as it is. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 13:33, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
