من الجدير التنويه

Grammatically, this phrase usually acts as a lead-in. You’ll almost always see it followed by أنّ (that) or إلى أنّ (to that). For example: من الجدير التنويه أنَّ المشروع سيبدأ غداً. (It is worth noting that the project will start tomorrow). You can also use it with a preposition: من الجدير التنويه إلى هذه النقطة (It is worth noting/pointing to this point). It functions as a sentence starter, setting the stage for the 'meat' of your information. Think of it as the 'intro music' for your most important fact. If you’re writing a professional email, place it right after you’ve laid out the basic facts but before you reach your conclusion. It acts as a bridge between the 'what' and the 'why it matters.' Just don't use it to announce you've run out of milk; your roommates might think you've finally lost it and joined a debating society.

This is a 'C-suite' phrase. If formality were a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is 'sup dude' and 10 is 'Your Royal Highness,' this phrase is a solid 8.5. You’ll find it in Al Jazeera headlines, academic journals, legal contracts, and high-level business presentations. It is the language of Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic). You won’t hear people saying this while haggling over tomatoes in a local souq—unless they are being incredibly sarcastic or are very confused about how social interaction works. Using it in a casual WhatsApp group with friends will make you sound like you’re reading from a teleprompter. However, if you are writing a LinkedIn post about your latest career achievement, it’s the perfect way to add a layer of professional polish. It says you are serious, articulate, and respect the language.

Imagine you are on a Zoom call with a client. You’ve presented the budget, but there’s a tax implication they haven't considered. You say, من الجدير التنويه أنَّ الضرائب غير مشمولة في هذا السعر. (It is worth noting that taxes are not included in this price). It sounds professional and avoids the bluntness of 'You forgot the tax.' Or, think of a news report about a new movie. The reporter might say, من الجدير التنويه أنَّ هذا الفيلم حطم الأرقام القياسية. (It is worth noting that this film broke records). Even in social media, if a tech vlogger is reviewing the latest iPhone, they might write in their caption: من الجدير التنويه أنَّ البطارية تدوم لفترة أطول. (It is worth noting that the battery lasts longer). It gives their review an air of objective authority. It’s also common in 'terms and conditions'—that thing we all scroll past but من الجدير التنويه (it's worth noting) that you really should read them.

Use this phrase when you want to be the smartest person in the room without being annoying about it. It’s perfect for clarifying a potential misunderstanding before it happens. Use it in job interviews when you want to highlight a specific skill that wasn't on your resume but is relevant to the discussion. Use it in academic essays to transition between a general fact and a specific, crucial observation. It’s also great for professional feedback. If you’re a manager giving a performance review, starting a sentence with this phrase makes your critique feel like a constructive observation rather than a personal attack. It creates a space for 'objective facts' in a conversation that might otherwise be subjective. If life were a video game, this phrase would be your 'intellectual buff'—it increases your credibility stats immediately.

Avoid this phrase in 'sweatpants' situations. If you’re texting your mom about what’s for dinner, don't say من الجدير التنويه أنني أريد البيتزا. (It is worth noting that I want pizza). That’s just weird. She’ll ask if you’re okay. Also, don't use it for trivial things. 'It is worth noting that my socks are blue' is a waste of a perfectly good high-level expression. Because it’s so formal, using it in an informal setting can come across as condescending or 'fake.' It’s like wearing a tuxedo to a beach party—you’ll stand out, but not in a good way. Also, avoid overusing it in a single paragraph. If every other sentence starts with 'it is worth noting,' it loses its impact and starts to sound like filler text. It’s a spice, not the main course. Use it sparingly for maximum effect.

The most common slip-up is getting the preposition wrong. Many learners try to use it without أنّ or إلى, which makes the sentence hang awkwardly. ✗ من الجدير التنويه هذا الكتاب مفيد → ✓ من الجدير التنويه أنَّ هذا الكتاب مفيد. Another mistake is confusing it with من الجدير بالذكر (It is worth mentioning). While they are very similar, التنويه specifically implies 'drawing attention' or 'clarifying,' whereas الذكر is more general. Also, watch your pronunciation of the و in التنويه. It’s a double 'w' sound (tan-weeh). If you mumble it, you lose the 'sophisticated scholar' vibe and just sound like you’re clearing your throat. Finally, don't use it with slang. Mixing من الجدير التنويه with a word like يا ريّال (Oh man/dude) creates a linguistic glitch that will confuse native speakers. It’s like putting caviar on a taco—some might like the chaos, but it’s generally not recommended.

The closest cousin is من الجدير بالذكر (Min al-jadir bi-dhikr), which is basically its twin. You can use them interchangeably 99% of the time. Another variation is تجدر الإشارة إلى (Tajdar al-ishara ila), which means 'it is worth pointing out.' This one is slightly more 'active' and very common in journalism. If you want to be even more formal, you might say لا بد من التنويه (It is necessary to note), which adds a sense of urgency. In more modern, slightly less formal contexts (like a high-end lifestyle blog), you might see يُشار إلى أنَّ (It is pointed out that). While regional dialects (like Egyptian or Levantine) have their own ways of saying 'by the way' (like على فكرة - 'Ala fikra), they almost never use من الجدير التنويه in speech. They save it for the written word or the news.

Is this phrase used in daily speech? Rarely. It’s mostly for writing, news, or very formal meetings. If you use it while grabbing coffee with a friend, they might think you're practicing for a debate. Can I use it in an email to my boss? Absolutely! It makes you look professional, diligent, and attentive to detail. Is there a difference between التنويه and الذكر? التنويه is slightly more about highlighting or clarifying a specific point, whereas الذكر is simply about mentioning it. However, in 90% of cases, they are used as synonyms. What level of Arabic is this? It's C1/Advanced. Mastering this shows you've moved beyond basic survival Arabic into the realm of professional and academic fluency. Does it change based on gender? No, the phrase itself is static. You don't need to change الجدير or التنويه whether you're a man or a woman, or speaking to a group. It’s a 'set phrase.'
