× Salome derives from Jewish.
✓ Salome derives from Judaism.
The word 'Jewish' is an adjective, but here a noun is needed to indicate the origin or source. 'Judaism' is the correct noun to express the religion or culture from which the name derives.
× I will I will attention meaning of names and it as I think it will be from Arabia because I'm really like Arabic.
✓ I will pay attention to the meaning of names, and I think it will be from Arabia because I really like Arabic names.
The original sentence misuses 'I will I will attention' which is incorrect. The verb 'pay attention to' is the correct phrase. Also, 'I'm really like Arabic' is incorrect; it should be 'I really like Arabic names.' Pronouns and verb phrases need to be properly structured.
× Names does not matter, it will be boys or girls.
✓ Names do not matter, whether they are boys or girls.
The subject 'Names' is plural, so the verb should be 'do' instead of 'does'. Also, the sentence structure is awkward; 'whether they are boys or girls' clarifies the meaning.
× No, no one has helped this name.
✓ No, no one has this name.
The phrase 'has helped this name' is incorrect and does not make sense in context. The intended meaning is that no one else has the same name, so 'has this name' is correct.
× Honestly I don't know what I can say about this question because this is so wack for me.
✓ Honestly, I don't know what to say about this question because it is confusing to me.
The phrase 'this is so wack for me' is informal and unclear. 'Confusing to me' is a clearer and more appropriate expression. Also, 'what I can say' is better expressed as 'what to say' in this context.
× I cannot understand what do you mean precisely.
✓ I cannot understand what you mean precisely.
In indirect questions, the word order should be subject + verb, not auxiliary + subject. So 'what you mean' is correct, not 'what do you mean'.
× Can you explain more detail?
✓ Can you explain in more detail?
The phrase 'explain more detail' is incorrect. The correct prepositional phrase is 'explain in more detail'.
× I honestly, I think, uh, name, uh, Mariam is uh, very popular around the world, not only my country.
✓ I honestly think the name Mariam is very popular around the world, not only in my country.
The sentence has unnecessary fillers and missing prepositions. 'Not only my country' should be 'not only in my country' to be grammatically correct.
× Mariam and also George's are, uh, were.
✓ Mariam and George are, uh, popular names.
The original sentence is incomplete and confusing. 'George's' is possessive and incorrect here; it should be 'George'. Also, 'are, uh, were' is contradictory. The corrected sentence clarifies the intended meaning.
