Amharic to Arabic: preserve the participants without copying the construction
A present introduction may need no Arabic ‘is’
Amharic introductions can include an overt copular form, as in እኔ ተማሪ ነኝ, ‘I am a student’. Standard Arabic commonly expresses this kind of present nominal statement without a separate present-tense verb corresponding to am. The absence of a translated copula is therefore not evidence that the Arabic sentence is unfinished.
The description itself still needs an appropriate form. Arabic طالب and طالبة distinguish a male and female student in an ordinary personal introduction. Do not infer the speaker's gender from the first-person pronoun alone. Use the person identified by the source and its context rather than treating a default output form as new information about that person.
A statement about a past role is a different construction. Keep the source tense when comparing the sentences: a current introduction and a report about what somebody previously was do not become equivalent merely because both contain the same occupational noun. Removing every Arabic verb in imitation of a present nominal sentence would lose that distinction.
Two participants have a dedicated Arabic number category
Amharic plural reference does not require a separate grammatical dual for exactly two. Standard Arabic does distinguish dual forms from singular and plural forms. A source referring to two travellers, two documents or two recipients can consequently require forms beyond a generic plural.
Identify the number involved in the particular action, not merely the number of names in the whole message. If two visitors tell a larger organising team about their arrival, the travellers and the addressees belong to different groups. A dual choice for one does not make every pronoun in the message dual.
Arabic also has a shared dual addressee pronoun أنتما. Do not mechanically concatenate two singular pronouns to represent two people. Conversely, an unspecified source plural is not a reason to invent a pair. Keep a numerical statement such as two with its noun so the translation has evidence for the required category.
Shared gender distinctions do not mean shared spellings or endings
Amharic familiar singular address distinguishes አንተ from አንቺ. Arabic likewise distinguishes masculine أَنْتَ and feminine أَنْتِ, though both may appear as أنت when short-vowel marks are omitted. Identical unvowelled spelling can therefore conceal a distinction retained elsewhere in the Arabic verb or adjective.
Review the full clause before deciding that gender information disappeared. An object suffix identifies a different relationship from an addressee pronoun, and neither should be selected from the sender's gender by default. If a source sentence changes its recipient, translate the affected construction again rather than replacing one isolated ending.
Amharic fidäl runs left to right, while Arabic runs right to left. Preserve the actual order of Latin names and reference codes embedded in the Arabic paragraph. A display change should not reverse the characters of an identifier or turn a name into ordinary vocabulary merely because the surrounding script changed.
