Types of Sentences

In Arabic there are 3 parts of speech known as أقسام الكلام.

They are :-

1)  اسم ( ism ) - noun

     e.g. names of person, place, thing, animal and adjective

2)  فعل ( fi'l ) - verbs 

     There are 3 types of verbs :-

     *  فعل ماض     -  past tense                   e.g. كتب   he wrote

     *  فعل مضارع  - present / future tense   e.g. يكتب  he writes

     *  فعل أمر        - command / order        e.g. اكتب   write!

3)  حرف ( harf ) - particle

     e.g.  في ( in ), على ( on ), من ( from ), إلى ( to )

In Arabic, a sentence is called جملة ( jumlah )

There are 2 types of sentences :-

1)  الجملة الاسمية (aljumlah alismiyyah) - a nominal sentence.

     This is a sentence that begins with an ism (a noun).

2)  الجملة الفعلية (aljumlah alfi'liyyah) - a verbal sentence.

     This is a sentence that begins with fi'l (a verb).

A phrase is called شبه الجملة (shibhul jumlah).

Every sentence in Arabic requires a subject and a predicate. The subject is what or whom the sentence is about and the predicate tells us something about the subject.

In Arabic the subject is called مبتدأ (mubtada). The subject tends to be definite and marfoo'. 

The predicate is called خبر (khabar). The predicate tends to be indefinite and marfoo'.

Tanween and Case Endings

We will be focusing not only on learning new vocabulary but the ending tashkeel of nouns and it is very important for grammar purposes. 

This is called تنوين (tanween).

If a noun ends in :-

1)  dammah ( ُ  ) or dammatayn (  ٌ  ) it is مرفوع (marfu') - nominative case 

 or in a state of رفع (raf').

     e.g.  *  الوَلَدُ طويلٌ

             *  محمدٌ طويلٌ

2)  fathah ( َ  ) or fathatayn ( ً  ) it is منصوب (mansoob) - accusative case

 or in a state of نصب (nasab).

     e.g.  *  رأيتُ الوَلَدَ

             *  رأيتُ محمدًا

3)  kasrah ( ِ  ) or kasratayn ( ٍ  ) it is مجرور (majrur) - genitive case

 or in a state of جر (jarr).

     e.g.  *  محمد في المَسْجِدِ

             *  هذا قلمُ محمدٍ

When Arabic is spoken, the tanween of the word is not recited. However for the purpose of learning grammar, we will be reciting through out the lessons.

The Arabic Letters and the Vowel Signs

The Arabic Alphabet

The Arabic Language is the language of the Quran. It is written from right to left.

1)  The Arabic Alphabet consists of 28 letters (if ء is counted it will be 29).

2)  25 of the letters are consonants and only 3 are vowels. 

     (Consonants means it has speech sound)

3)  All letters in the Arabic Language can be connected to letters preceding one. 

     However 6 letters do not connect to letters following them. They are و and ا د ذ ر ز.

4)  The first letter ألِف serves two purposes :-

     a)  it elongates a consonant as in ٌكِتَاب 

     b)  it acts as the bearer of هَمْزَةٌ as in أَبٌ  

The Vowel Signs

There are 2 types of vowels in the Arabic Language:-

a)  The short vowels.

b)  The long vowels.

a)  The Short Vowels

     There are 3 short vowel signs in Arabic or also known as تشكيل (tashkeel).
     There are 6 or them and they are :-

1)  Dammah      ( ُ   )    denoting "u" is written above a letter e.g. دُ = du 
     Dammatayn  ( ٌ   )    denoting "un" is written above a letter e.g دٌ = dun     

2)  Fathah         ( َ  )     denoting "a" is written above a letter e.g. دَ = da
     Fathatayn     ( ً  )     denoting "an" is written above a letter e.g. دً = dan

3)  Kasrah         ( ِ  )    denoting "i " is written below a letter e.g. دِ = di
     Kasrahtayn   ( ٍ  )    denoting "in" is written below a letter e.g. دٍ = din

   

b) The Long Vowels

    To form long vowels, dammah, fathah and kasrah are followed by the letter associated with them :-

1)  Dammah "u" is associated with و so it precedes واو to form a long vowel e.g.  تُو  = tuu    

2)  Fathah     "a" is associated with ا so it precedes ألف to form a long vowel e.g.  تَا = taa

3)  Kasrah     "i" is associated with ي so it precedes ياء to form a long vowel e.g.  تِي = it

Why Learn Arabic?

Arabic is one of the world's great languages. It's graceful script, magnificent style and rich vocabulary gives the language a unique character.

Arabic is the largest number of the Semitic language family, which also includes languages like the Hebrew and Aramaic. Like most Semitic languages, Arabic is written from Right to Left.

There are three major types of Arabic :-

1) Classical Arabic (also known as Quranic Arabic or the language of the Quran)

2) Modern Standard Arabic

3) Local Dialect Arabic (each Arab countries differs in the Arabic language)

Modern Standard Arabic is derived from the Classical Arabic (Quranic Arabic). One of the important reasons for us to learn Arabic is for us to understand the Quran when reading or listening to the Quran being recited.

Modern Standard Arabic is the official Arabic language. It can be written and spoken and there is no difference between the written and the spoken form.

In its written form, Modern Standard Arabic is the language of the media. Books, magazines, newspapers, official documents, private and business correspondence, street signs and shop signs are all written in Modern Standard Arabic.

It is taught in schools, universities and colleges. The language taught is exactly the same in the Arab world.

Since Modern Standard Arabic is a standardised language, conversing in it makes it possible for Arabs of different nationalities and also to non-Arabs who knows arabic to understand one another. This way, they can avoid dialectal differences.

Spoken Modern Standard Arabic is the language used on television, in government and parliament, and on official occasions like conferences and seminars. It is also used in religious assemblies and sermons of the Friday Prayers.

Modern Standard Arabic and its roots in Classical Arabic is the heart and soul of the Arabic language and the greatest treasure of the Arab Culture.
