We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello,

A question to native speakers of Spanish:


ejemplo: Tengo coche.

por todo lo que he oido, no es posible decir este ejemplo de otra
manera, como p.e. *Tengo un coche.

Mi pregunta es:

?Es posible referir a ese coche en frases siguientes? P.e. ?se puede
decir?:

Tengo coche. Es muy lindo. (el coche, no el hecho de tenerlo)

!Gracias de antemano para todas respuestas!

Saludos

Johannes

Greetings,

I am looking for information on paradigms used in the transliteration
of non-Arab names into Arabic.

Thank you in advance,
