Parts of Speech – English vs. Arabic
English has eight parts of speech

2. Pronoun (A word like he, they, and we used to replace a noun)
3. Adjective (A word that describes a noun, e.g. a tall man)
4. Adverb (A word that gives additional information about how, when or where an action takes
place, e.g. He walked slowly, They will arrive tomorrow)
5. Interjection (A word that is independent of other words and is used as is, e.g. hello and hi)
6. Verb (The action or doing word, e.g. sleep, eat, drink)
7. Conjunction (A word joining two clauses in a sentence, e.g. and, because, but)
8. Preposition(A word used to relate a noun or pronoun to some other part, e.g. of, at)

6. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 1 (ver. 1.1)
Arabic Vowel Signs
There are 3 short vowel signs in Arabic
Fathah (ٌةَحْتَف) – denoting “a”, e.g. da (ٌَد)
Kasrah (ٌةَرَْسك) – denoting “i”, e.g. di (ٌِد)
Dummah (ٌةَّم َض) – denoting “u”, e.g. du (ٌد)
Absence of a vowel sign is denoted by Sukun (ٌنْوكس), e.g. notice ٌْد in ٌةَسَرْدَم
Long vowels are formed by adding the associated letters to the short vowels
ٌا to elongate fathah, e.g. daa (اَد)
ي to elongate kasrah, e.g. dii (يِد)
و to elongate dummah, e.g. duu (ود)
6
7. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 1 (ver. 1.1)
Indefinite & Definite
Like English, Arabic nouns can be indefinite (ٌةَرَِكن) or definite (ٌةَفِرْعَم)
An indefinite noun is indicated by ٌنْيِوْنَت, which doubles the vowel sign at the end
of the word, e.g.
A book – ٌابَتِك
A chair - ٌيِسْرك
A Definite noun is indicated by ٌْلَا prefixed to the noun. This also results in
eliminating the ٌنْيِوْنَت at the end of the word, e.g.
The book - ٌابَتِكْلَا
The chair - ٌي ِسْركْلَا
ٌْلَا and ٌنْيِوْنَت cannot coexist. So ٌابَتِكْلَا will be incorrect
Please note many proper nouns, e.g. ٌدَّمَحم,ٌدِالَخ end with ٌنْيِوْنَت, but they are still
definite

11. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 2 (ver. 1)
This (اَذَه) vs. That (ََكِلَذ)
2
This is a book (َابَتِكَاَذَه)
That is a door (َابَبَََكِلَذ)
Demonstrative pronoun (َِةَرا َشِاْلَاُمْسِا)
اَذَه : َِبْيِرَقْلَِلِةَرا َشِاْلَاُمْسِا
ََكِلَذ : َِدْيِعَبْلَِلِةَرا َشِاْلَاُمْسِا
Like all pronouns, these are definite
These are masculine , i.e. these are used when pointing to
masculine nouns
They have feminine counterparts – will learn later
اَذَه and ََكِلَذ are pronounced as اَذاَه and ََكِالَذ respectively,
but are written without the alif
12. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 2 (ver. 1)
Solar vs. Lunar Letters (1 of 2)
3
Of 28 consonant letters, 14 letters are called solar letters ( َُفْوُرُالحََُةَّي ِسْمَّالش ) and 14
are called lunar letters ( َُرُالحَُةَّيِرَمَقَال ُفْو )
This distinction is only for pronunciation of words starting with these letters
when prefixed with ال (the definite article)
Articulation of solar letters involves the tip of the tongue, e.g., ت,س,ش,ن,ر
Tip of the tongue plays no role for lunar letters, e.g., ب,ق,م,ك,و
When ال is prefixed to a noun beginning with a solar letter, the ل of the ال is
assimilated to the solar letter, e.g., al-shamsu is pronounced as ash-shamsu
The assimilation is indicated by the shaddah on the first letter of the noun
In writing, the ل is not assimilated, e.g., َُسْمَّالش
No such assimilation takes place for lunar letters, e.g., al-qamaru is pronounced
as al-qamaru (َُرَمَقال)
14. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 2 (ver. 1)
The Joining Hamza (َِل ْصَوْلَُاةَزْمَه)
5
The ا in ال (the definite article) is called َِل ْصَوْلَُاةَزْمَه
If it is preceded by another word, it is not pronounced
E.g., َُتْيَبْلَا (the house) is pronounced al-baitu and َُتْيَبْلاَو (and the house) is pronounced
as wa l-baitu and not wa al-baitu
َِل ْصَوْلَُاةَزْمَه also appears words without the ال, e.g.,
َمْسِا (name) – َِهَّلَالِمْسِب
َنْبِا (son) – ََمَيِرَمَُنْبىَاَسْيِع
To signify ا as َِل ْصَوْلَُاةَزْمَه, look for one of the following three conditions:
A symbol on alif, as
Without any or ء symbol on alif
Completely omitted in writing, e.g., َِهَّلَالِمْسِب
Both ا and ل in ال are not pronounced when a word starts with a solar letter and
is preceded with another word
E.g., ََوَُمْجَّنال is pronounced as wan-najmu and not wa al-najmu or wa an-najmu
َل ْصَو
(Joining, uniting,
attaching)
15. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 2 (ver. 1)
َِعْطَقْلَُاةَزْمَه
6
As opposed to َِل ْصَوْلَُاةَزْمَه , َِعْطَقْلَُاةَزْمَه is always pronounced, regardless of its
position in the sentence
َِعْطَقْلَُاةَزْمَه is usually written with a ء symbol on (or below) the Alif, as follows:
أ
إ
Examples:
َدَحّّا (one) – َدَحّّاَُهَّلَالَوُهَْلُق
َْذِا (when) – َ َكُّبَرََلاَقَْذِاَو...
َعْطَق
(Cutting,
Discontinuing,
Separating)

What (اَم) vs. Who (َْنَم)
8
اَم َْنَم
Meaning “What” “Who”
Usage Used for irrational things
(َلِاقَعَُرْيَغ), e.g. non-living
things, animals, plants
etc.

angels.
Example What is this? (اَذَهَاَم) Who is he? (اَذَهَْنَم)
18. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 2 (ver. 1)
Particle of Interrogation and Answer
9
This is a house (َتْيَبَاَذَه)
Is this a house? (؟تْيَبَاَذَهّّا)
Prefixing َّّا to a statement turns it into a question
Used in this context َّّا is called َِماَهْفَتْسَِالا ُفْرَح (particle of interrogation)
لا means “no”
َْمَعَن means “yes”
لا and َْمَعَن are called َِابَوََالج ُفْوُرُح (particles of answer)

It is translated as:
“Who” – for all rational beings
“Which” – for all irrational beings and things
It is used for masculine singular. Feminine and plural will come later
It is always followed by a description, which is known as ٌِلْو ُصْوَمٌالُةَّلِص
The man, who left the room, is a merchant
ٌرِاجَت ٌِةَفْرُغال ٌَنِم ٌَجَرَخ يِذَّلا ٌُلُجَّرال

The Past Tense Verb (يِاضَمٌالُلْعِفال)The Past Tense Verb (يِاضَمٌالُلْعِفال)
Verb = Action = ٌلْعِف
Doer = Subject = ٌلِاعَف
Base form of all Arabic verbs is in the past tense (ٌٍضاَم)
The base form of the verb always corresponds to the 3rd person
singular masculine pronoun, i.e. he (ٌَوُه)
The doer of the action (ٌلِاعَف) is hidden (ٌرِتَتْسُم) within the base form of
the verb (ٌلْعِف). Notice the hidden “he” in ٌَجَرَخ
ٌَجَرَخ(He left) ٌَجَرَخ
50. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 4 (ver. 5) 19
Anatomy of The Past Tense Verb
Almost all Arabic verbs can be traced back to a three letter verb. The
remaining few exceptions are traced to a four letter verb.
To understand their structure, the three letter verbs are defined on
the pattern of فعل as follows.
ٌَجَرَخ(He left) ٌَجَرَخٌَج ٌَر ٌَخ
فعلفعلل ع ف
ٌةَمِلَكٌف (1st radical)
ٌةَمِلَكٌع (2nd radical)
ٌةَمِلَكٌل (3rd radical)
51. ARIC Arabic Class Notes – Part 4 (ver. 5) 20
Anatomy of The Past Tense Verb
In the base form for all 3 letter past tense verbs:
ٌةَمِلَكٌف and ٌةَمِلَكٌل always have a ٌةَحْتَف
ٌةَمِلَكٌع can have a ٌةَّم َض, ٌةَحْتَف, orٌةَرَْسك
ٌةَمِلَكٌل ٌةَمِلَكٌع ٌةَمِلَكٌف Meaning ٌلْعِف
ٌَب ٌَه ٌَذ He left ٌَبَهَذ
ٌَس ٌَل ٌَج He sat ٌَسَلَج
ٌَر ٌَص ٌَن He helped ٌَر ََصن

The last letter of the
ٌافضُم gets a ٌةسرك when
attached to ِمِّلكتُمْلا ُاءي. A
ٌةَّمض on the last letter
would have made the
pronunciation difficult.
The ُةوطُبرالم ُاءالت changes
to a ُةوحُتفالم ُاءالت when it
is followed by an
attached pronoun.

Notice the extra و between
ٌافضُم and ِهْيلِا ٌافضُم. By same
token “Muhammad’s father”
will be دَّمحُم وُبَا
ٌخَاو ٌبَا are 2 of the 4 special
nouns, which take this extra و.
Will learn the other two later.
The rule for extra و does not
apply when these nouns are
followed by ِمِّلكتُمْلا ُاءي

The singular word is broken to create the plural,
e.g. ٌبِلاط -> ٌَّابلُط , ٌملق -> ٌمالْقَا. Broken plurals have
many patterns, as explained later.
The singular word stays
intact in the plural, e.g.
ٌسِّردُم -> نْوُسِّردُم
Has an ûna ( نْو) ending,
e.g. ٌمِلسُم -> نْوُمِلسُم
Has an âtun ( ٌات) ending,
e.g. ٌةمِلسُم -> ٌاتمِلسُم
Some nouns have
multiple plural
forms, e.g., ٌخَا has
two plural forms
1) ٌةوِْخا and 2) ُناوِْخا
