Many times we have a preset idea of what should be 'right' and how the conditions should be. Children with their agile mentality are more open for trying different approaches and exploring new angles to what is so familiar to us adults. It is so natural for kids to refuse the concrete boundaries adults so often jail themselves in.

Hussein OR Hussain?


This did not click on me 53 minutes ago. Its been since when i was in grade 6. Its been like a decade or more ago. How it happen was. First day at school, class teacher gave us students to write everyone name on a piece of paper. So i wrote it mine and the kid( i was a kid too back then ) next to me poke me and said you dont know how to spell my own name..!? Since then Im confused about how to spell the first name of my name. Hussein/Hussain. I spelled it Hussein.

With the slow connection of Dhiraagu, I end up browsing the only accessable websites which is hosted on Dhiraagu and the two social media. Even they load once in a blue moon kinda way..:P anyways..I end up twiting and I though of this jigsaw piece. Since im studying about research and writing i get into these kinda stuff easily, so I twit and Copied to my Facebook Status about it. Got number of replies from Twitter and specially Facebook. It turn out very productive and informative.

So some they say its "Hussain" others say "Hussein"

Reason for Hussain
Ziyad says : thats how we learnt to say it from the start :P ... Ask our ancestors who started writing it like that... :P
Niuma says: I think its Hussain. Since its how that name is written in Arabic.
Zahir says: Hussain mi namakee Arabi nameh.keethiri rasoolaage kaafa dhari kalakah mi nan dhevigen vey... ei mash-hooru hussain ge faanu. Arabi bahuga aanmukoh beynun kuraa usoolaku ebe fili nuvatha eybey fili eh neendhey... Quran gaves, ebefili nuvatha eybeyfili aisfai vaathan nufeney... baeh qiraaih thakuga eybeyfili gengulhunas mash-hooru shaathibee qiraa-athuga beynun nukurumaa, imaalaaih kurumah onna hama ekani than ''bismillaah majereyhaa'' noon thanakun eybeyfili naumun bodah qabool kuraveny kiyaany HUSSAIN kamah. ehenas kiyaairu aibai fili faalhu nukoh kiyaane kamah qabool kureveny... wallah aulam ;)

Reason for Hussein
Irfan says: Arabic in google translator ga jehyma ves annay hussein.. bodah lafaa kurevey hussein kamah. Xef Rox mikolhu meehun kiyaa ulheny حسين. (he stays at Madina, Saudi arabia)
Jeehaan says: Hussein looks better :P

PS: Later irfan agreed on Zahir's point.

So everyone ended up with "Hussain" with valid reason so I agree with that too. So I seriously did not know how to spell my name back then till yesterday 20.02.2012. True Story ;)

Lol, obviously if it's an Arabic name, there is no right or wrong way when writing Hussein or Hussain.

Obviously, English is very different from Arabic, so there wouldn't be a specific way to write that. duh.


It's like asking whether it's dhanee tha or dhany tha? :P

LOL.
