(١٦) الْدرسُ الْسَادِسُ عَشَرَ - Lesson 16
-
We have already learnt in Lesson 13A section 7 that the Broken Plural is the plural form of a word in which the original form of the word is changed to a great extent:
e.g., For English Nouns
Man ======> Men
Woman ======> Women
in contrast with sound plurals:
Book ======> Books
Door ======> Doors
For Arabic Nouns and Adjectives:
-
There are more than twenty patterns of the broken plural for Arabic Nouns and Adjectives. We have learnt some of them in previous lessons and will learn one more pattern in this part of lesson Insha Allah.
-
| Plural | Pattern | Singular |
|
مَسَاجِدٌ (Mosques) |
مَفَاعِلٌ |
مَسْجِدٌ (A mosque) |
-
Lets take some examples to memorize this pattern:
