Zahratun          (F1)       Flower

Qalamun          (M1)      Pen

Ānā                     (M1 + F1)     I

Hazā                    (M1)           This

Hazihi                 (F1)             This

Mann                   (M1 + F1)     Who

Āa / Hall                  Is?

                            No

Na�am                     Yes

                           What

 M  Masculine, F  Feminine,  1 Singular                               

III  Third Person,   II   Second Person

 Ā    Alif,   ط  Ŧ,   �A   Ayn

                                                   

 

GRAMMATICAL THEMES

Nouns: Indefinite and Genders

Rule No. 1

With some exceptions generally, the final consonant of a noun, if it is indefinite carries a tanwin, nunation

i.e.        Kitābun             (M1)    A  Book

In this word Ba is the final consonant of a noun Kitāb and as it carries a tanwin of un, therefore it is indefinite.

Rule No. 2

Generally nouns ending in E or � are feminine.

i.e.     Ghurfatun        (F1)     A Room, and as it carries a tanwin, therefore it is indefinite.

Rule No. 3

Parts of the human body, which are in pairs are also taken as feminine.

i.e.  ï¿½Aynun               (F1)       Eye

Rule No. 4

Some nouns do not end with E or � but are still considered as feminine due to their usage.

i.e.   Samāun              (F1)       Sky               Shamsun          (F1)       Sun

Historically both nouns were originally used as feminine.   

 Wassalam

Bismillah irrahman irrahim

Assalamu alaikum

BarakAllah Fi, I am sure you must have heard that there are only two types of thirst in this world which can never be quenched, One is for pleasure of world and second is for knowledge. So alhamdulillah the more we learn, inshaAllah the closer it will take us to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Interrogation and personal pronouns

 

Rule No. 5

 

The particles, M� (What) and Mann (Who) are used for interrogation. M� is used for masculine and feminine inanimate nouns and Mann is used for masculine and feminine nouns, used for human beings.

 

 

Rule No. 6

 

Haz� (This) is a singular masculine demonstrative pronoun for demonstration when the object for demonstration is very close.

 

 

Rule No. 7

 

Huwa (He) is the third person singular masculine personal pronoun.

 

Example Analysis: Rules 5-7

(i) If a masculine inanimate object Kit�bun (A Book) is identified as near by, the interrogation is raised with M� (What) and Haz� (This), M� Haz�? (what is this?). The answer for the interrogation is Haz� Kit�bun (this is a book).

 

[Note: is in the above sentence is automatically understood. There is no special word in Arabic for is.

 

(ii) Mann Huwa (Who is he?)

As Mann (who) is a particle and is used for the interrogation of masculine and feminine nouns, used for human beings. Hence it is used with the masculine pronoun Huwa (he).

Mann (who) can also be used with Haz� (This) for interrogation provided the object for demonstration is a human being singular and masculine. In both these interrogations if the object is a man then the answer will be Haz� Rajulun (This is a man).

[Note: all nouns used in this part are masculine]

 

Rule No. 8

 

Hazihi (This) is a singular feminine demonstrative pronoun when the object is near/close.

 

Rule No. 9

 

Hiya (she) is the third person singular feminine personal pronoun.

 

Example Analysis: Rules 8-9

(i)                    If a feminine inanimate object Zahratun (a flower) is shown as nearby, the interrogation is raised with M� (What?). M� Hazihi (what is this?) and the answer is, Hazihi Zahratun (This is a flower).

(ii)                  Mann Hiya (Who is she?)

Hiya Bintun (She is a girl)

 

 

Rule No. 10

 

�a / Hall (Is?) are the particles used for interrogation for masculine and feminine nouns. Both can be used interchangeably.

 

Example Analysis:

�a Haz� Kit�bun (Is this a book?)

If the answer is in the affirmative, Na�am (Yes) is placed before the sentence.

Na�am, Haz� Kit�bun (Yes this is a book)

If the answer is in the negative, L� (No) is placed before the sentence.

�a Haz� Kit�bun (Is this a book?)

L�, Haz� Qalamun (No, this is a pen).

 

Rule No. 11

 

�nta (You) is used for the second person singular masculine pronoun and �nti (You) for the second person feminine singular.

 

Rule No. 12

 

�n� ( I ) is used for both the singular masculine and feminine first person.

 

 Example Analysis: Rules 11-12

If the question is raised to a man: Mann �nta (Who are you?), while for a woman, Mann �nti.

The answer is �n� Rajulun/ Imra�tun (I am a man/woman)

 

The second person personal pronouns helps to develop conversation and dialogue.

I am a little puzzled by your use of the "^" accent in transcription. I use it for long Arabic vowels (I have a French keyboard) as you do in the first half of your last post.

In the second part I see it on short vowels as in �n� which should be ana (the second "a" is written long in Arabic but I heard it is pronounced short), or �nta which should be anta.
On the other hand haz� should be h�z�.

Assalamu alaikum

JazakAllah khair for correcting me, I will have to tell you i am really bad at roman form of any language. I have arabic infront of me and i try to make it sound right but looks like there are going to be many times when i fail so please be kind enough to go through my posts in this thread and correct them whenever you can.

Thing was that i am told that when there is a fatha on or letter before alif then you make it more prominent, thats what i was trying to do on ana and anta. And i had a fatha on Ha in h�z� instead of a long vowel in my notes so i went wrong there. Anyway in future i will try to be more careful inshaAllah.

wassalam

p.s. I might take few more days before putting the next part, bit short on time these days.
