Re: Pronouns in arabic

To say for example I’m a boy = Ana walad! (Ana = I, walad = boy) as you may have noticed “am” and “a” are omitted in Arabic, so it’s like saying “I boy”, same thing with all other subject pronouns. He is a boy = Howa walad (he boy), we’re boys = Nahnu* Awlad (we boys),

You may also have noticed that Arabic has a “dual” form, meaning that Arabic is being more specific about not only the gender but also the number, so the dual form is used to refer to two people, if you want to talk to Speak7 and Karim to tell them: you both speak Arabic! = Antuma tatakallamani al ‘arabia انتما تتكلّمان العربية , if you want to talk about them: they both speak Arabic = Humaa yatakalamani al ‘arabia هما يتكلمان العربية .

For the plural there are five subject pronouns, We = Nahn (for females and males). You = Antum (when you talk to 3 males or more, or one male and the 2 females or more)

You = Antun (when you talk to 3 females or more). They = Hum (when you talk about 3 males or more, or one male and the 2 females or more). They = Hun (when you talk about 3 females or more).

* Some subject pronouns take an extra vowel at the end when they’re followed by other words, to make the pronunciation smooth and easy, just like when you add an “n” to the indefinite article “a” to some words, “an umbrella” instead of “a umbrella” to make it easier to pronounce, same thing in Arabic, we add either “u” or “a” to many words to make them go in harmony with other words following them, we will go through that later, but for now you can keep using the articles without these vowels especially because you will be still understood even without adding them.

Re: Pronouns in arabic

Arabic Object Pronouns:



Object pronouns in Arabic are me, you, him, her, us, you (plural) and come after a verb; In Arabic they’re as follows:

Me: verb+ni ني



You (masculine): verb+k كََ



You (feminine): verb+ki كِ



Him: verb+h ه ، ـه



Her: verb+ha ها
You (dual male or female): verb+kumaa كُما



Them (dual male or female): verb+humaa هُما

We: verb+naa نا



You (plural masculine): verb+kum كُم



You (plural feminine): verb+kun كُن



Them (plural masculine): verb+hum هُم



Them (plural feminine): verb+hun هُن

 

[islamlover_girl]

Re: Pronouns in arabic

So to say in Arabic “you show me”, after conjugating the verb and adding the “you” to it, you need to add the object pronoun “me” to it as well, note that “you show me” in Arabic is written like “youshowme” meaning that the subject pronoun + the verb + the object pronoun are all connected, “you” as a prefix and “me” as a suffix of the verb “show”, so it would be (you show me = turini تُريني ) (you show us = turina ترينا ) (you show him = turih تريه ). Try to memorize these Arabic Pronouns, as they’re very important.

Re: Pronouns in arabic

Arabic Determinative Possessive Pronouns:

Similar to the Arabic object pronouns, the determinative possessive pronouns look the same, the only difference is that they end a noun and not a verb like above. So to learn how to say “my house” “his car” “her dress” …you need to look at the table below:

Me: noun+i ي



You (masculine): noun+k كََ



You (feminine): noun+ki كِ



Him: noun+h ه ، ـه



Her: noun+ha ها


You (dual male or female): noun+kumaa كُما



Them (dual male or female): noun+humaa هُما

We: noun+naa نا



You (plural masculine): noun+kum كُم



You (plural feminine): noun+kun كُن



Them (plural masculine): noun+hum هُم



Them (plural feminine): noun+hun هُن

Re: Pronouns in arabic

In Arabic you have to use the possessive pronouns above as a suffix, meaning that they should be ending the word (noun), here are some examples:

Book = Kitab كتاب

My book = Kitabi كتابي

Your book = kitabuk كتابك

Your book (singular female) = Kitabuki كتابك

His book = Kitabuh كتابه

Her book = Kitabuha كتابها

Your book (dual male or female) = Kitabukumaa كتابكما

Their book (dual male or female) = Kitabuhumaa كتابهما

Our book = Kitabuna كتابنا

Your book (plural masculine) = Kitabukum كتابكم

Your book (plural feminine) = Kitabukun كتابكن

Their book (plural masculine) = Kitabuhum كتابهم

Their book (plural feminine) = kitabuhun كتابهن



So it’s very easy to use the possessive pronoun in Arabic, you just need to add the suffixes on the table above to the word, and that’s it.

Re: Pronouns in arabic

Arabic Prepositional Pronouns: (to me, for you, about her …any pronoun with a preposition preceding it)



It’s easy to use the prepositional pronouns in Arabic; you just add the suffix below to the preposition, which looks exactly like the ones we learn before in the possessive object, above:

Me: preposition+i ي



You (masculine): preposition+k كََ



You (feminine): preposition+ki كِ



Him: preposition+h ه ، ـه



Her: preposition+ha ها


You (dual male or female): preposition+kumaa كُما



Them (dual male or female): preposition+humaa هُما

We: preposition+naa نا



You (plural masculine): preposition+kum كُم



You (plural feminine): preposition+kun كُن



Them (plural masculine): preposition+hum هُم



Them (plural feminine): preposition+hun هُن

 

[islamlover_girl]

Re: Pronouns in arabic

So to say “come to me” we would add the prepositional pronoun “me = i” to the Arabic preposition “to = ila”, so “come to me = taala ilai = تعال إلي”

Said to me = qaal li قال لي .

 

[islamlover_girl]

Re: Pronouns in arabic

Arabic Independent Possessive Pronouns:

In Arabic the independent possessive pronoun is used to express “mine, yours, hers….”

Example: the book is mine: al kitab li الكتاب لي, the drink is ours: al mashroob lana المشروب لنا . The table below shows the independent possessive pronouns:

Mine li لي



yours (sing masculine) lak لك



yours (singular feminine) laki لك



his lah له



hers laha لها

yours (dual male or female) lakumaa لكما



theirs (dual male or female) lahumaa لهما

Ours lana لنا



yours (plural masculine) lakum لكم



yours (plural feminine) lakun لكن



theirs (plural masculine) lahum لهم



theirs (plural feminine) lahun لهن

 

[islamlover_girl]

Re: Pronouns in arabic

You can also use the word “milk” to form independent possessive, the word milk ملك means “property of” …, the book is mine (my property) = al kitaabu milki الكتاب ملكي, but I would suggest to use the pronouns on the table above which is easier and more used.

These are very useful.

I've also heard another one for "How much is this?" which is "Bikam Haathaa?" You hear that quite a lot in the shops of Makkah and Madinah.

I guess different forms of it get used in different countries? Or even that there's a few ways to say the same thing lol.
