Useful Everyday Words Conversational Arabic

Our last Arabic class was cancelled due to bad weather, so I don't have any new
stuff to post from the class notes. Below are some cool Arabic words and
phrases. Read them, write them, practice them and memorize them. You
should be building your vocabulary slowly. Use the dictionary on the side to
look for words. Arabic is great because you can usually take the word and make
other words from it, once you understand what the root word is. Enjoy.

Vocabulary Series I: The Human Body

After a long pause, the Arabic Class notes blog is alive again. This time, we're
starting with a Vocabulary series to present a few words of Arabic everyday. I
will try and give examples of usage as much as possible. If you are intereseted
in learning about certain aspects of the language more, please send us an email
at webmaster@ sarnia-muslims.com (no spaces).

Additionally, I'll start posting occasional podcasts (audio) of the Arabic class as
time permits.

Converting Singular to Plural - Feminine

Today's lesson illustrates that its much easier to create plurals of feminine
words. Remember you had to add a taa marbootah to the end of a masculine
singular word to convert it to a feminine singular? This is very similar. All you
really have to do to a word is add an alif and a taa at the end of a masculine
word to convert it into a feminine plural. Feminine words are not affected by
the irregular words when creating plurals like the masculine words. There are
some exceptions but they are not very common. We will use the same list of
words we've been using for one last time in this example:

Converting Singular to Plural - Masculine

Today's lesson concentrates on demonstrating how to create plurals in the

masculine form. These nouns and adjectives are the same as the ones we have
been using for several weeks to illustrate how the Arabic grammar works. Most
Arabic singulars can be easily converted to plurals by adding a yaa and a noon
to the end of the word. There are numerous irregular words in the Arabic
language that make it difficult to ascertain what the plural of a word is. When
dealing with these irregular words you simply have to know what the plural is
since it doesn't follow any particular grammar rule. In the next few lessons we
will examin as many of these irregular words as we possibly can. The next
lesson will convert these same words to Feminine Plural form. For now, lets
make sure we learn the following masculine plurals. You can easily recognize
the irregular words from the list belwo, since they appear with only one plural
form.

Converting Singular to a Dual - Feminine

Today's lesson is very similar to the last lesson. We are learning to convert a
singular to a dual. Only this time we are dealing with feminine nouns and
adjectives. The rule in the Arabic grammar is the same. We add an alif and a
noon or a yaa and a noon to the end of the word. Remember we already added
a ta marbootah to the end of the word to make it into a feminine nound or
adjective. So in essence, we are really adding a ta, an alif and a noon to the
end of the word or a ta, a yaa and a noon to make a feminine dual noun or
adjective. Next lessons, inshaAllah, we'll learn how to make plural masculine
and plural feminine nouns and adjectives.

Converting Singular to a Dual - Masculine

Today we learn to convert masculine singular to a masculine duals. This rule

applies to nouns and adjectives. Arabic has a singular, dual and plural for
everything. And its different for masculine and feminine. I am using the same
words that I have used in the past two lessons to illustrate how adding an alif
and noon or yaa and noon combination (depending on the sentence structure)
converts a singular into a dual. In the lessons that follow, I will use the same
words so illustrate the dual for female and plurals for both male and female.
After that we'll look at the verbs, inshaAllah. This lesson should clarify how to
make dual masculine nouns and adjectives and reinforce the learning of the
vocabulary. Make sure you know these very well before we move to the next
lessons.

Converting Gender in Nouns and Adjectives

The Arabic language is very precise. Every noun, pronoun, adjective, and verb
is gender and number based: its either used in a male or female context and its
slightly changed for singular, dual and plural usage. Using it interchangeably
doesn't work. This could make the languge very complex if there was no rules
governing how the grammar works. Thankfully, the Arabic language is very
systematic in nature. The rules of grammar apply uniformly throughout most of
the language. Today's lesson illustrates how to change a noun or adjective from
masculine to feminine and vice versa. The rule is simple: add a ta marboota at
the end of a masculine noun or adjective to make it into a feminine noun or
adjective. The examples below should make it very clear. Next week we'll
discuss how to make duals and plurals, inshaAllah.

Adjectives and Professions

Sorry for not updating the Arabic Blog for so long, but I have been pretty busy
and it does take a long time to type Arabic since I am not used to it.
InshaAllah, I will try to be more regular from now on. For today's lesson, I have
collected a list of adjectives and professions to add to your vocabulary.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way out of this, you do have to memorize it to
learn it. The easiest way I know to memorize anything is to write it down a few
times, while pronouncing it. InshaAllah, soon we shall start creating Arabic
sentences so we can speak and write Arabic. We do need some more Nouns,
Verbs, Adjectives and perhaps more importantly some more grammar before
we can do that. For now, learn these below and let me know if you have any
questions by leaving a comment. Good Luck learning Arabic.

Note That all the following adjectives are in the masculine, singular form. In
the coming weeks, when we learn some grammar you will be able to convert
these into combinations of femine, dual as well as plural forms.

Useful Everyday Words Conversational Arabic

Our last Arabic class was cancelled due to bad weather, so I don't have any new
stuff to post from the class notes. Below are some cool Arabic words and
phrases. Read them, write them, practice them and memorize them. You
should be building your vocabulary slowly. Use the dictionary on the side to
look for words. Arabic is great because you can usually take the word and make
other words from it, once you understand what the root word is. Enjoy.
