3. To convert singular regular female noun into singular male noun, we remove the female Ta’a and vice versa.

لعب ↔ة لعب كاتب ↔ اتبة ك 4. Not all female nouns have male counterpart and vice versa, such as

لى ، شس ، شجرة بنت ، لي Rule 230: About dual nouns: 1. All dual nouns are made of the single noun with either Alif Noon ( ان) or Ya’a Noon

.added. No exceptions (ين ) ي طالب ، ن طالبا ← طالب

2. In the case of dual female nouns, the female Ta’a ( التأنيث ء ت ) is followed by, either Alif Noon ( تن) or Ya’a Noon ( تي). The femal Ta’a Marboota (ة) changes into Ta’a Maftooha (ت)

ت ←بنت تان مدرس ← مدرسة تان لعب ←لعبة رتن شج ←شجرة ان بن ت ←بنت تي مدرس ← مدرسة تي لعب ←لعبة رتي شج ←شجرة ي بن

5. To convert duel female noun into duel male nouns we remove the female Ta’a and

vice versa. لعبان ↔ ان ت لعب ي لعب ↔ تي لعب

كاتبان ↔ ن كاتب تا ي كاتب ↔ ي كاتب ت

6. Dual names can’t have Tanween whether they have Alif - Lam or not. Rule 240: About plural nouns: 1. Regular male plural nouns are made of the singular form with either Waw Noon ( ون) or

Ya’a Noon ( ين) added at the end لعبي ،لعبون ← لعب كاتبي ، ن كاتب و ← كاتب

2. Regular female plural nouns are made of the singular form with the Alif Ta’a (ات) replacing the female Ta’a at the end.

Rule (250): Nouns are also divided by intellect and definite, as follows:

Type Examples Properties Intellect, non-intellect عاقل، غي عاقل طالب، ب يت Indefinite, definite نكرة، معرفة طالب، الطالب

a‘ كتاب is when a noun is indefinite or not specific, it is general i.e., the noun نكرة .1book’ this can be any book from the different types of books.

the‘ الكتاب is when an noun is definite or specific, it is not general i.e., the noun معرفة .2book’ or ممد كتاب ‘Muhammad’s book’, here the book is a particular book not just any book in general.

3. A noun can be عاقل possess intellect such as humans, angels and jinns or it can be عاقل غي possess no intellect such as animals, objects, trees, …etc.

Rule (260): The nouns ending with aa sound are called { مقصور سم ال ال }

A noun which is Ismul Maqsoor, has an ‘aa’ sound ending. The ending vowels of these nouns remain constant, despite their change in function. If they are assigned a haraka, the Haraka is not pronounced and is called silent harakah.

ة:ل ث م أ

ىالمستشف

ىموس

ى.موس ل ى.المستشف في

Rule (270): Regarding Tanween ( ن لت نوي ا ):

1. The noun will have Tanween if it doesn’t have Alif Lam at the beginning. شراب، الشراب ب قرة، الب قرة كتاب، الكتاب

2. Exception is for nouns imported from other languages (non Arabic based nouns)

The hospital سم ل فلا يتغير آخر ا The end case of the noun

does not change Musa

…for Musa …in the hospital

B-5

د ل ون ، د ر ص ، م ون ع ر ف 3. You can’t have Tanween on the dual nouns and on the regular male plural nouns. 4. Ismul Maqsoor ( قصور ال

سم الم ) can’t have Tanween.

5. Letters and verbs can’t have Tanween. 6. When adding two nouns ( مضاف ومضاف إليه), see Rule 290. the first one can’t have

Tanween. The second one must be Majroor and may have Tanween. كتاب الولد، كتاب ولد ، ، رب منزل رب المنزل

7. The letters, such as Prepositions ( حر و ف ال ر) can’t have Tanween, see rule 300.

8. We add Alif to Tanween of Fatihs. Example يل ولدا ج . Unless the word ends with Ta’a Marboota. Example لعبة شاطرة or ends with Hamza. Example ماء

Rule 280: Mark of nouns ( علامة

إابرعال ) based on their grammatical form (عراب

B-6

Rule 290: You can add two nouns.

1. The form in English is x of y or y’s x, where x and y are the two nouns. The first noun (x) is

called the Modaf ( مضاف) and the second noun (y) is called Modaf Ilyh ( ومضاف إليه).

2. The Modaf is not specific. It is made specific by the Modaf Ilyh. For example, the word books is a generic noun but when we say books of Mohamed, then we specified these books to belong to Mohamed.

3. The first noun ( مضاف) can’t have Tanween or Alif-Lam.

4. The second noun ( مضاف إليه) must be Majroor and may have Alif-Lam or Tanween

according to Rule 270.

Examples: The book of the boy The boy’s book كتاب الولد The book of a boy A boy’s book ولد كتاب The car of Mohamed Mohamed’s car سيارة ممد The watch of the girl The girl’s watch ساعة البنت The watch of a girl A girl’s watch ساعة بنت

Rule 300: Prepositions ( حر و ف ال ر)

1. They come before nouns. 2. They can’t have Tanween. Their Tashkeel is the same regardless of its position in the

sentence. 3. The noun following the preposition must be Majroor and may have Tanween.

4. The reason they are called ( حر و ف ال ر) because the noun that follows them must be

Majroor ( مرور).

Rule 400: Adjective and its Noun ( صفة و موصوف)

Lam. They rhyme in pronunciation. • The following example is for the case of regular male plural (Clever Player).

The Noun sentence: ية الملة الس

Rule (500): The noun sentence starts with a noun.

Rule (510): The noun sentence is made of Subject ( تدأ .(خب ) and Predicate (مب The predicate (Al-Khabar) gives information about the subject (Al-Mobtada’a, i.e Noun Sentence = Mobtada’a + Khabar.

The noun sentences Mobtada’a +verb to be + Khabar Mobtada’a + Khabar

The boy is brave يل يكون لولد ا يل لولد ا ج جthe boys2M are brave يلن يكونن الولدان يلن ج الولدان ج

Notice that unlike the English language, the verb to be is not needed in Arabic at all, i.e. no is, are, was, were …etc. Rule (520): 1. The Mobtada’a can never have Tanween and must have Alif-Lam. 2. The Khabar can never have Alif Lam and may have Tanween based on

rule 270.

Rule (530): The default case of both Mobtada’a and Khabar is Marfo^ ( مرف و ع(

Rule (540): Exceptions to the default case: The Mobtada’a is precede by the

family of Inna ( إن( or the family of Kana ( كان(.

Rule (550): If the Mobtada’a is preceded by one article from the family of Inna ( إن(, then the Mobtada’a is Mansoob and the Khabar is Marfo^ • The Family of Inna:

.أن، كأن، لكن، ليت، لعل، ل ،إن

Rule (560): If the Mobtada’a is preceded by one article from the family of Kana ( كان(, then the Mobtada’a is Marfo^ and the Khabar is Mansoob. • The Family of Kana
