عربي term
Al mar'atu taltaqi biwalidiha
It shows a picture of a lady meeting a man in a restaurant. The corresponding text in the EN language course (which I downloaded as a guide) says: The woman is meeting her husband at the restaurant. But I thought walid means 'baby.' What am I missing here?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
It seems that you can't change the question status after submitting it, sorry for requesting that from you earlier.
Dear Lamis, honestly I didn't expect to see any Answers to this question when I posted the discussion entry and voted for "Non-pro". "Obviousness" is a relative concept, and therefore perhaps I'm excused to feel that we're all relatively right here :)
"Walidiha" is: والدها
which means "her father". So there must be a mistake in the English text.
Her husband = "zawjiha" = زوجها
her baby = "waleediha" = وليدها , and these are not mentioned within this lesson.
