Arabic to Slovak: short pronouns and past agreement need their own target choices

An Arabic attached object does not become an attached Slovak ending

Arabic can attach object reference directly to a verb. Slovak also has short pronoun forms, but they are separate grammatical words with restrictions on placement. The fact that the source writes a pronoun as part of the verb does not justify fusing the corresponding Slovak pronoun to the action word.

The Slovak teaching contrast Vidím ťa and Teba vidím shows a short object form in one order and a full form available at the beginning in another. Both can identify the person seen, while the fuller expression can support emphasis. For an Arabic correction specifying whom somebody saw, preserve that contrastive purpose rather than automatically choose the shortest pronoun. A short form cannot simply be moved to the beginning because the Arabic object was emphasised there. Rebuild the target’s pronoun placement and emphasis together.

Arabic first-person past reference can leave Slovak gender unstated

Arabic first-person singular verb forms do not distinguish a male speaker from a female speaker through the same past-tense contrast that Slovak uses. A source first-person account can therefore leave information unresolved that the Slovak past predicate may need. The target’s participle agreement should follow the actual speaker, not a guess based on an occupation or activity.

For a reusable Arabic reply about finishing a task, record whose voice the message represents before copying the Slovak version to another sender. First-person reference stays first person, but the appropriate predicate can change when its speaker changes. An Arabic third-person account may supply gender more explicitly; carry that information into the target where its agreement requires it. Do not use one masculine-looking Slovak past form as if it were an invariant translation of every Arabic completed action. The relevant contrast belongs to the complete target predicate.

A shared word case does not imply matching endings

Standard Arabic and Slovak both describe grammatical case, but their inventories and constructions are different. Slovak distinguishes relationships such as recipient, accompaniment, and location through its own combinations of prepositions and case forms. A visible Arabic genitive ending after a preposition does not select one universal Slovak case.

Som v škole means I am at school, while Idem do školy means I am going to school. For an Arabic pickup message, establish whether the person is waiting at the location or travelling towards it. The target preposition and noun form work together to express that difference. A dictionary noun copied unchanged into both phrases will not preserve the intended construction. Keep the Arabic location relationship attached to the relevant event, particularly when a single message describes where a person currently is and where they will go next. Similar-looking target endings should be checked for their role rather than corrected by visual analogy.
