5th Review on Lesson 01 Madinah Book 1

حَرْفُ عَطْفٍ   (and - وَ)

It functions just like the English 'and' but there are other uses of  وَ  too, such as  وَاوُ القَسَمِ  which is the  وَ  of swearing or oath or vow.

For example, 

وَ اللهِ  does not mean 'and Allah' but it means 'by Allah'.

In this lesson  وَ  function just like the English 'and'.

Examples :-

1)  هَذَا سِرِيرٌ وَهَذَا كُرْسِيٌّ      (This is a bed and this is a chair)

1st Review on Lesson 01 Madinah Book 1

هَذَا  (this is)

It is pronounced as هَاذَا but it is written without the 1st alif.

هَذَا is a demonstrative pronoun used for pointing at a thing that is near or close by.

In Arabic it is called إِسْمُ الإِشَارَةِ لِلقَرِيبِ

Unlike English, Arabic has no copula verb.

A word used to link subject (مُبْتَدَأٌ) and predicate (خَبَرٌ) is incorporated into the word هَذَا.

Nouns in Arabic Language are classified according to their gender (masculine - مُذَكَّرٌ or 

feminine - مُؤَنَّثٌ), their numbers (singular - مُفْرَدٌ or dual - مُثَنَّى or plural - ٌجَمْع) and if they 

are indefinite (نَكِيرَةٌ) or definite (مَعْرِفَةٌ). 

هَذَا is used for noun that are :-

1) مُذَكَّرٌ   (masculine)

2) مُفْرَدٌ    (singular)

3) نَكِيرَةٌ   (indefinite)

All the nouns used in this lesson are  -    مُذَكَّرٌ   -    مُفْرَدٌ   -   نَكِيرَةٌ

Examples :-

1)  هَذَا   (This is)      بَيْتٌ     (a house)       ===       هَذَا بَيْتٌ      (This is a house.)

2)  هَذَا   (This is)   مَسْجِدٌ     (a masjid)      ===    هَذَا مَسْجِدٌ      (This is a masjid.)

3)  هَذَا   (This is)      بَابٌ      (a door)        ===       هَذَا بَابٌ      (This is a door.)
