Lesson 15 - الدَّرْسُ الْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ
Continued
- In this lesson, we will learn a new rule related to the /Muđâf/ and /Muđâf Ilaihi/ In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). We have learnt in Lesson No. 5 section 2 that the /Muđâf/ is definite even though it doesn't have /alif-lām/. We also learnt that the adjective of a definite noun is always definite, so when we add an adjective to a /Muđâf/ it will be definite like it e.g.:
| English | Arabic |
| The new house of the Imam | |
| The boy's broken desk | |
| The opened window of the room |
- It is important to identify above the adjectives and the /Muđâf/ and /Muđâf Ilaihi/.
- Similarly when the /Muđâf Ilaihi/ (possessor) is a possessive pronoun, the adjective of such a /Muđâf/ that it qualifies is definite e.g.:
| English | Arabic |
| His new house | |
| Its opened window |
- It must be remembered that the adjective of the /Muđâf/ (i.e. possessed noun) that it describes always takes the same case as that of /Muđâf/ i.e.,
- If the /Muđâf/ is in nominative case, the adjective will also take the nominative case e.g.:
| English | Arabic |
| The new book of the teacher |
- If the /Muđâf/ is in genitive case, the adjective will also take the genitive case e.g.:
| English | Arabic |
| The book is on the teacher's new desk |
- If the /Muđâf/ is a feminine noun, the adjective should also be feminine, e.g.:
| English | Arabic |
| The old bag of the boy |
- More examples:
| Picture | English | Arabic |
|
| This is the old car of the director | |
|
| The broken pen of the girl | |
|
| The dirty shirt of the father | |
|
| The sparrow on the big apple tree | |
|
| The vast (spacious) garden of the house | |
|
| This story is from the old book of the Arabic language | هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ الْقَدِيمِ. |
