Ism: Lesson 4 (Type)

-

Quick recap:
There are 4 properties of an ism (noun). They are:-
1.    Status: rafa’ (doer), nasb (detail), jar
2.    Number: singular, pair, plural
3.    Gender: masculine, feminine
4.    Type
Today we will be learning about the simplest and the last property of an ism which is “type.”

Type basically means whether an ism is proper (known) or common (unknown). It’s kind of like using ‘a’ and ‘the’ in English but its more comprehensive as we will see later In Sha Allah. Today we will just look at one way in which an ism can be made proper. That is by adding an ‘Al’  at the beginning of an ism.

Example:

كِتَابٌ                                                       الْكِتَابُ
A book                                                The book

وَلَدٌ                                                         الْوَلَدُ
A son                                                  The son


If someone says kithaabun (a book), we don’t know which book he is talking about. But if someone says al-kithaab (the book), the person he is talking to also knows which book he is talking about.

Notice when we add the ‘al’ to a singular ism, the thanween (‘n’ sound is removed). But when it comes to plural isms, the ending sound of the word remains same. For example:

مُؤْمِنُونَ                                                  الْمُؤْمِنُونَ  
Believers                                    The believers


Mental exercise:
Look at the words below and decide whether the word is proper or common.

Arabic Pronouns (dhameer)

-
Image
The chart above shows the pronouns of the Arabic language. Below each pronoun is its attached form (in purple). Pronouns can be seen independently or attached to a word. For example هُوَ which means ‘he  or it ’ can be attached to a word like كِتَابُ (which means book). To attach, we should look for the attached form of the pronoun. Attached form of هُوَ is هُ so we can say كِتَابُهُ and this would mean, ‘his book.’ Some pronouns have two attached forms. We choose the attached form for a pronoun depending on the harakah (fili) on the last letter of the word. For example if the word was كِتَابِ it will be very difficult and sounds weird to say كِتَابِهُ so the Arab says كِتَابِهِ and this would also mean ‘his book’. So the second form of an attached pronoun is only used when there is a kasra (ibifili) on the last letter. The pronoun ‘ana’ is an exceptional case. We can change the last harakah of the word to make the word end with an ‘ee’ sound. For example, i...

Mudhaaf-mudhaaf ilaihi and pronouns (English lesson)

Mudhaaf-mudhaaf ilaihi with pronouns Among the lessons related to pronouns, we had looked at the pronouns chart. Below is a picture to help you remember. The ‘attached’ forms are actually nasb or jarr versions of the pronouns. They are called ‘attached’ forms because they are always found attached to a word. Example:    رَسُوْلُهُ If you find هُ   or هِ you must know that it’s the attached form of هُوَ and can only be nasb or jarr status. Exercise 1: Identify and write the attached forms of the given pronouns by looking at the chart. (try and remember the attached forms without looking as much as you can In Sha Allah) Pronoun Attached form   (nasb/jarr version) هُوَ هُمَا هُمْ هِيَ هُنَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتُمَا أَنْتُمْ أَنْتِ أَنْتُنَّ ...
