In this lesson we will learn the use of Relative Pronoun for the feminine nouns, Insha Allah. In Lesson 9 section 004 we have already learnt about the Relative Pronoun for the masculine nouns. We know that a Relative Pronoun is used to refer or relate to some noun preceding it. The masculine form of the Relative Pronoun is الَّذِي  and is translated as 'who' if used for a human being and to 'which or that' if used for the non human beings. Similarly the feminine form of the Relative Pronoun is الَّتِيِ with the same meaning as the masculine form, however used for feminine objects or persons.

• هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةُ الَّتِيِ خَرَجَتْ it means "This is Fatima who went out", or

• هَذِهِ الْنَّافِذَةُ الَّتِيِ مَفْتُوْحَةٌ means "This is the window which is open", or

• هَذِهِ حَقِيْبَةٌ الَّتِيِ تَحْتَ الْمَكْتَبِ means "This is a bag that is under the desk".

In the above sentences the nouns: Fatima, the window and a bag, are called Antecedents and the words "who, which and that" refer to them respectively hence they are the Relative Pronouns.

Similar to الَّذِي the word الَّتِيِ refers to all the three words (who, which and that).

Lets take some more examples of this rule:
