Arabic to Galician: attached words need their own target rules
A compact spelling can contain more than one relationship
Arabic attaches conjunctions, some prepositions, and pronouns to written words. Galician also has compact combinations, but its inventory and grammar differ. The documented ao combines a and o, while co combines con and o. They express particular target relationships rather than interchangeable equivalents of any Arabic attached element.
In a travel or collection message, identify destination, accompaniment, and ownership before comparing forms. A contraction with the expected noun does not guarantee the right relationship. If someone travels with another person to a location, the Galician needs to keep accompaniment and destination distinct even where both source phrases look similarly compact.
An object pronoun can be written onto the verb
Galician writes certain enclitic verb-pronoun combinations together. The reference gives dixérono as a combination of dixeron and o. Arabic also attaches object pronouns, but that resemblance does not justify copying the source attachment pattern without checking the Galician construction.
For a message about relaying information, determine who spoke and what was said. Read the entire target verb and pronoun together before concluding that the object has disappeared. Conversely, do not attach a separate Galician pronoun arbitrarily just to imitate the physical shape of the Arabic word; target clitic placement depends on its own clause.
An Arabic pair should remain exactly two
Arabic has productive dual marking, while Galician agreement is organized around singular and plural. A source expression specifying two people or objects can therefore need an explicit numeral in the target. A general plural is not enough when the pair determines an order or reservation.
Check what the number counts. Two tickets, two passengers, and two journeys are different practical facts that may occur in one short Arabic request. Preserve each association before reviewing the Galician wording. The right total appearing somewhere in the sentence does not establish that it modifies the correct item.
A missing subject can still be understood
Galician frequently omits independent subject pronouns when verbal inflection and context identify the participant. Arabic also supplies substantial subject information through its verbs, but the two systems distribute gender and number differently. A target sentence can be complete without visibly reproducing every source pronoun.
When the Arabic changes actor between clauses, give the Galician reader a name at that transition if needed. Then check the noun phrase's gender and number agreement independently of the owner's personal gender. For this direction, the strongest review follows contraction meaning, attached object reference, exact pair quantity, and changes of actor. It lets Galician use its own compact constructions while preserving the people and relationships expressed in the Arabic message.
