Makeshift Arabic

Description

This is my first attempt at writing/drawing Arabic. I got the translation off of Babelfish, so I don't know if it's accurate, or really if it's even written correctly - so please don't take offense if I did a poor job, I really DID try to get this beautiful language right! Roughly, it says (top to bottom):

All you need is love

Let's get together and feel alright

I love America

I also apologize for the quality of the picture. I don't own a scanner, so this is a photo taken and transferred on an SD card.

When you created this, you must have gotten a few things mixed up :P on the last line you have the first half of "america" below the line, it should be أمريكا all one word, but to say "i love america" you would say أحب أمريكا just two words.

The first line is - كل تحتاج هو الحب

which is literally translated and might sound were (i'm not an arab i wouldn't know)

What might work better is saying "you need love only" which would be : تحتاج هو الحب فقط

And the middle line is difficult for me to say... i know the root for "get together" is جمع but if you conjugate that for "plural first person" (aka we) then it would litterally mean either a Mosque, or Sex. you could change it up a little and say "lets feel alright together" which would be معا يشعر بخير which translates much more literally "together, we feel alright" I've forgotten how to say "lets" i learned it in class, but no translation service online ever gets it correct. i'll get back to you on that, i think you just add a L sound infront of the verb...
