   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.

Wassalam

This is a sixteen weeks course but i am going to put bit by bit every week inshaAllah so might take bit longer. It compirses of the most common words used in the Holy Quran and basic grammatical themes. Unit 1 Kitābun (M¹) Book Zahratun (F¹) Flower Qalamun (M¹) Pen �Aynun (F¹) Eye Kursiyyun (M¹) Chair Samāun (F¹) Sky BāBun (M¹) Door Ghurfatun (F¹) Room Khubzun (M¹) Bread Shamsun (F¹) Sun Rajulun (M¹) Man Imraātun (F¹) Woman Waladun (M¹) Boy Bintun (F¹) Girl طŦariiqun (M^{1 +}F¹) Road Kā�sun (F¹) Glass Wa And Māidatun (F¹) Table Abun (M¹) Father Ummun (F¹) Mother Mālun (M¹) Wealth Yadun (F¹) Hand Huwa (III M¹) He Hiya (III F¹) She Ānta (II M¹) You Ānti (II F¹) You Ānā (M^{1 +}F¹) I Hazā (M¹) This Hazihi (F¹) This Mann (M^{1 +}F¹) Who Āa / Hall Is?

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. �Aynun (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.
