Hi, can a native Arabic speaker please tell me if I have translated the following quote correctly? Also, are my Arabic case endings in order? Thank you in advance for your answer. A friendship is like a ship on the sea; it needs to stay afloat. If a friendship is one-sided, it will most likely sink in the sea of friendships. ~Unknown As-sadaaqah mithl safeenah 'alaa al-bahr; hiya tahtaaj li-tu'awwim. Idhaa as-sadaaqah min taraf waahid, fa-'alaa al-arjah hiya sa-taghraq fee bahr as-sadaaqaat الصّداقةُ مِثْلَ سفينةٍ على البحرِ؛ هي تحتاج لتُعوِّمَ. إذا الصّداقة من طَرَفٍ واحدٍ، فَعلى الأرْجَحَ هي ستغرَق في بحرِ الصّداقاتِ. ~Majhool مَجْهُول
الصداقة مثل سفينة في البحر يجب أن تبقى طافية ، إذا كانت علاقة الصداقة من طرف واحد فمن المؤكد أنها ستغرق في بحر الصداقة مجهول~
I like your sentence sunshine, but I would just like to know why you changed على الأرجح to من المؤكد? To me, the phrase "most likely" means على الأرجح while من المؤكد means definitely.
Yes, you're right "most likely" means على الأرجح I don't know why I changed it , I just prefered من المؤكد. Now as you mentioned it , I'm confused and I don't know which one should I choose.
