Lesson 23 - اَلدَّرْسُ الثَّالِثُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ

Noun and its Types – اَلاسْمُ وَأَنْوَاعُهُ

Pronouns and their Types – اَلضَّمَائِرُ وَأَنْوَاعُهَا

  • We are still in lesson twenty three of our free Arabic language course. This Arabic course with images and audios will help you learn Arabic.
  • In this section we will learn the Arabic Pronouns, In-Shā’-Allâh (God-willing).
  • In the previous lessons we have learned that in Arabic language there are two types of Pronouns namely Attached Pronouns اَلضَّمائِرُ الْمُتَّصِلَةُ and Detached Pronouns اَلضَّمَائِرُ الْمُنْفَصِلَةُ.
  • Similar to the English Language, the Arabic Pronouns are divided by 1st. person ( I / We), 2nd. person (You) and 3rd. person (He / She / They).

Example:

Person

Arabic

I / We

1st.

الضَّمَائِرُ لِلْمُتَكَلِّمِ

2nd.

الضَّمَائِرُ لِلْمُخَاطَبِ

He / She / They

3rd.

الضَّمَائِرُ لِلْغَائِبِ
