Talk:Sayid Jarrah

Isn't the bit about Edward Said at the top a bit speculative? There's no evidence given that the character's name was meant to suggest that. 131.111.195.8 (talk) 03:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Shannon and Sayid's night together

It is my opinion that there is no defining proof, thus far, that Shannon and Sayid had a "sexual encounter." Yes, they spent the night together, and yes, they kissed and whatnot, but, like I said, there is no proof that anything of a sexual nature happened. Because of this, I'm changing the sentence to reflect that. Any proof otherwise will be very welcome. PantherFoxie 21:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Sayid's Timeline

I could be wrong, but isn't his biography in reverse order? That he was forced to torture Nadia, and then he helped her escaped but made it look like he tried to stop her. And then later the Americans invaded and Sayid helped torture his CO, was given alot of money and flew around looking for Nadia until what happened in Australia. I mean, I could be wrong, but it makes alot more sense. Considering all Iraqi Prisoners were released back to Iraq, wouldn't his CO rat against him? - Fuyutski

No, it's correct. I checked. Sorry for bad lay-out of this message, I don't do this very often. - Emmi1988 —Preceding comment was added at 09:21, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The Trivia

Well, There is something wrong with the (trivia) in the page, I mean I think there is some missunderstanding..

---

Sayyid: It's an honorific title that have got a several meanings: 1. The same meaning of SIR in the English. 2. Leader. 3. Given to the Prophets, (e.g): Sayyiduna Muhammad = Our Leader Muhammad. whenever there is (una) then it means (our).

and Sa'eed: It means "Happy Man"

so when i was watching Lost I was confused, which one of these two names is his name, I mean they pronounced it like they wanted to mix up these two untill I saw them talk Arabic and I realised that his name was Sa'eed and it was pronounced Sayid because of the letter (ain)(ع) it doesn't have an equivalent letter in english, so I need to edit the name.

Arabic Script

I went ahead and removed the Arabic script box at the top, since someone has put Sayid's Arabic-script name in the article.

"Sayid"

The first part of the article says that "the name Sayid represents the Arabic name سيد, which means "Lord." An Arabic speaker wouldn't confuse the two names, but the characters on Lost do not hear the difference."

However, the "Sayid" that is spoken of here is not a name at all, instead it is considered an honorific title (or description of someone), just as "Sir" and "Lord" are honorific titles in English. but the title should be spelled "Sayyid", with very little emphasis on pronouncing the a and elongating the y.
