The last two days I was in Cairo I made trips to all the bookstores I could find and bought enough arabic books to stuff my backpack. Now I’m starting to translate them for practice and ran into one problem sentence.
How do you translate:
كان أخوه وأخَوَاتُة البنات يكبُرونه بِعدَّة سَنَوات
My best guess is:
He had brothers, and his sister, the girl, was several years older.
I hope to scan and upload my source books to a wiki so that others can have some original material to translate also.
