The Z in TAZHABA is like TH in the word "This." 3. All other notes in my answer to your previous question apply. Fuad Standard Arabic |

aturidu haqqan an tasluka hatha attareeq أتريد حقا أن تسلك هذا الطريق؟ Explanation: You have mentioned that the question refers to an ideal rather than a real place. This seems similar to someone proposing a plan or an intention and someone telling him "you don't even want to go there", meaning that you shoud not even attempt this, as it will lead to unpleasant results. Using this example as a measure, I believe that my translation offers an Arabic expression serving the intended meaning of your English phrase, although it is not a literal translation of it. Now reversing the process, the literal translation of my suggested answer is "Do you really want to go that way?" Hope this helps, Alaa Zeineldine |
