Arabic to Lower Sorbian: shared dual number does not mean shared constructions
Keep track of which participants form the pair
Standard Arabic and Lower Sorbian both distinguish a grammatical dual. That offers useful common ground when translating a message about exactly two people, but it does not make the two languages' endings interchangeable. Determine which noun or participant group the Arabic dual identifies before checking the target. Two travellers, two recipients, and two documents describe different parts of an arrangement.
Arabic هما can refer to two people already established in the conversation. If that fragment is copied without its context, the Lower Sorbian translation cannot reliably determine who the pair is. Retain names or the relevant description when the recipient needs them. Do not apply dual agreement to every participant simply because one pair appears somewhere in the source.
For a visit involving two guests and a larger host team, follow each action separately: who arrives, who receives the visitors, and who sends the confirmation? The same message can require different number choices for these groups. When reusing a saved translation, review the clause if the travelling party changes rather than replacing only a printed numeral.
Arabic event forms do not directly select Slavic aspect
Lower Sorbian uses verbal aspect. Standard Arabic also has perfective and imperfective forms, but the labels do not establish a one-to-one translation rule between their systems. A source describing work yesterday can concern an ongoing activity, repeated work, or a finished task. Those readings should remain distinct even when all refer to a past time.
For a document update, preserve whether the writer worked on it or completed it. A recipient deciding whether to distribute the file needs that difference more than a matching dictionary verb. Include completion information already intended by the Arabic source; do not invent completion merely because a source form looks past-like. If the source is genuinely underspecified, keep the uncertainty instead of converting the translation into a stronger promise.
A movement construction can change the following activity form
Lower Sorbian retains a supine, a special nonfinite form generally used after movement verbs. An Arabic message about going somewhere to perform an activity may therefore require a target form different from a dictionary infinitive. An unfamiliar activity ending is not automatically a vocabulary error.
First establish whether the source reports movement, states a purpose, or directly requests the activity. Going to collect an item is different from having collected it, and asking somebody to go is different from saying the writer is going. Keep the actor and purpose together in the source so the Lower Sorbian construction can preserve that relationship.
Keep the Lower Sorbian target distinct
Lower Sorbian is a specific language choice, distinct from Upper Sorbian and Serbian. Do not substitute a similarly named language's expression simply because it is easier to find. Preserve Lower Sorbian diacritics when copying the answer, and keep established personal and place spellings available for comparison. Arabic right-to-left display also requires care with embedded Latin identifiers: retain the actual character order. A final review should identify the relevant pair, the task's completion status, and whether movement or purpose is being reported.
