GenderAll nouns in Arabic are either masculine or feminine, no matter whether they are humans, animals or

objects, Unlike in English, there is no word for 'it' in Arabic. All nouns are referred to as 'he' or 'she',

The following words, which are all to do with school, are divided into two lists, one of masculine words

and the other of feminine words. Read the two lists out loud. What do you notice about the feminine

words?

Adjectives

In Arabic, adjectives (describing words) come after the nouns they describe.

When the noun is masculine, the adjective will also be masculine.

Likewise, when the noun is feminine, the adjective will also be feminine.

Adjectives are written after the nouns they describe.

Exercise 5: Translate the phrases below into Arabic. Make sure the adjectives agree with ire

they describe.

1 . A heavy book.

2. An open door.

3. A new sofa.

as ‘‘Is this...?' in Arabic, e.g. Is this a pen? ? IJufct or ? ^Jl3 IJL&

Note how 1 becomes part of the following word, but is written separately.

In order to answer this type of question, we need to learn the words for yes and no 1

ir. Afar;

Yes = and no = V

.

Note also the shape of the question mark in Arabic: ?

The Definite Article: The

Do you remember your sun and moon letters and how they are affected when 'al' (the Arabic word for

'the') comes before them? You may wish to check pages 61 and 62 of 'Gateway to Arabic Book One'(Starter Book) to refresh your memory. In short, the rules are as follows:

J| joins onto the word It defines.

The I in J| is a weak letter. Therefore it is always silent (i.e not pronounced) unless it occurs at the

beginning of a sentence.

When is followed by a word beginning with a moon letter, then it is written with a sukun or

the laam: Jl .

When J|is followed by a word beginning with a sun letter, then the loam is written without a sukun

and It becomes silent (not pronounced). The sun letter after J| takes a shadda'

i"+ *

The word defined by Jl loses its tanween . Instead, the last letter of the word will fake eithe

*

fatha, kasra or damma: ,

There is one more point to note. Although there is no verb 'to be’ in the present tense in Arabic

('am', 'are' and 'is'), it must be added when translating Arabic into English for the sentence or

phrase to make sense. See below for examples.

Number: The Dual

There are three categories of number tn Arabic. So far, all the nouns we have learned have been n thei;

singular form, The plural form starts from three in Arabic, For now, we are going tc learn the dual fc-nn,

which Is used when talking about two of something.

The basic dual form is made by adding the endings or to a singular noun.

You will learn later in the series when to use each of these two dual endings.

iS ^ c ^

For example, 'a book', can be made into 'two books' by adding 0^ or /jj

s s 0 s s f ss S S

i.e. or . Feminine nouns follow the same rules: 3 S (S&Ji ^

Note how the final o in feminine words changes into an open taa J or as in

/ s' s' s' 9/ / /

2^i_i j ljLa *- before the dual endings ore added.

Exercise 28: Turn the following singular nouns Into dual nouns by adding the dual endings.

Dual AdjectivesWe have already learnt that adjectives have to agree with the nouns they describe in terms or whether

they are masculine or feminine. e,g. 5^ . ^ 24 ^

.,s ,jv__r

An adjective describing a noun in the dual form must also take the same dual ending as the noun '

describes, e.g. two big houses:.

^<’.1 4 Ol_^S" jbU

two small cots: . --uis 4 Jli rJo^> OlxlzS

Note that for feminine colours ending in t in the singular, the homza changes into o j in the dua !

Number: The Plural

Exercise 31 ; Translate the English first into the singular Arabic form, and then into the two forms of the

sound masculine plural in the table below. The first one has been done for you

The Sound Feminine Plural

The sound feminine plural is also easy to learn. It is used for nouns which have no sound masec^e phjra !

or broken plural, whether they are femaie human beings, animals, inanimate objects or abstract nounsHowever, a sound feminine plural noun is usually followed by an adjective in the feminine singular, unless

the noun is a human being, in which case the adjective will take a feminine plural form.

The sound feminine plural is made by adding or o! to the singular noun,

The Sroken Plural

'he broken or irregular plural is one of ttie more challenging areas of learning Arabic. The plurals of somemorels that are similar in structure may follow a common pattern, and the student will learn to recognise

these with experience. For now, it Is best if you learn each plural alongside Its singular form, The plurals of

most of the irregular nouns and adjectives you have learned so far in this book are given below, alongwith their singular.
