Arabic Grammar

1. Demonstrative Pronoun

- Agreement between noun and its demonstrative pronoun

In this lesson, I show you demonstrative pronoun for masculine singular noun and feminine singular noun.

This time, you learn demonstrative pronoun for near distance.

Examples:

a. This is a father.
This: demonstrative pronoun for near distance.
Father: masculine singular noun => أَبٌ

Demonstrative pronoun "this" for masculine singular noun : هَذَا

This is a father => هَذَا أَبٌ

b. This is a mother.
This: Demonstrative pronoun for near distance.
Mother: feminine singular noun => أُمٌّ

Demonstrative pronoun "this" for feminine singular : هَذِهِ

This is a mother => هَذِهِ أُمٌّ

2. Agreement with noun and its adjective

In this lesson, I only show you the adjective form for masculine singular noun.

The adjective form follows the noun form, so the adjective is also in masculine singular form.

Examples:

a. a big scissors

Scissors: masculine singular noun => مِقَصٌّ
big: adjective that modifies the noun "scissors" => كِبِيْرٌ
(كِبِيْرٌ is masculine singular form).

a big scissors => مِقَصٌّ كَبِيْرٌ

b. a small scissors

Scissors: masculine singular noun => مِقَصٌّ
small : adjective that modifies the noun "scissors" => صَغِيْرٌ
(صَغِيْرٌ is masculine singular form).

a small scissors => مِقَصٌّ صَغِيْرٌ

3. A simple sentence using nominal sentence or jumlah ismiyyah (جملة اسميّة)

Nominal sentence structure: mubtada + khabar (مبتدأ + خبر)

mubtada : ism ma'rifah (اسم معرفة), such as nouns that have prefix "ال".

khabar : if the khabar contains one word only, it must be in indefinite form or ism nakirah (اسم نكرة).

For examples:

a. The father is big.
The father: mubtada' => الأَبُ
big: khabar => كَبِيْرٌ

The father is big => الأَبُ كَبِيْرٌ

Notice that "أَبٌ كَبِيْرٌ" and "الأَبُ كَبِيْرٌ" are not the same.

- أَبٌ كَبِيْرٌ means a big father/an old father.
أَبٌ كَبِيْرٌ is not a sentence.

- الأَبُ كَبِيْرٌ means The father is big/The father is old.
الأَبُ كَبِيْرٌ is a sentence. It is a nominal sentence or jumlah ismiyyah.

b. The son is small.
Mubtada: the son => الإِبْنُ
Khabar: small => صَغِيْرٌ

The son is small => الإِبْنُ صَغِيْرٌ

- الإِبْنُ صَغِيْرٌ means The son is small. It is a sentence.

- ابْنٌ صَغِيْرٌ means a small son/ a little son
