Baby Arabic Lessons

Learn the basics of arabic from here Insha Allaah (God willing.)

Okay, from this thread you'll learn some basic arabic which will help you understand the Qur'an abit more so when you read it, you can get a basic understanding of what is being recited inshaa Allaah (God willing.)


If i ever make any mistakes, or ever need any help - sister amirah_87 or Mawaddah, or any brother or sister who knows arabic can save us insha Allaah.


I only know the basics, and alhamdulillah since i've remembered some of these short techniques, i've been able to understand alot of what has been said, or atleast i've been able to get a basic understanding of what i recite. Inshaa Allaah it will be of benefit to you too.
​

I'm guessing you already know the basic arabic letters and their sounds inshaa Allaah, if not - the following picture will be a basic guideline. But i won't be going into depth regarding that since the aim of this is to learn just the basic aspects of the arabic language and a little grammar.

Connectives

The first thing we'll be looking at are connectives, i'll list a few and you have to try to memorise them. They're really simple to learn, and once you get hold of them you'll be able to understand or visualise what the next thing is in the passage.

Al = The


Fee = In / On the.


Wa = And


Fa = So



Maa = What


Man = Who


Min = from


Hat-aa = Until


Z/Dhaalik = that




New ones Added:


Inn = Surely/Verily


il-laa = except



Examples:


Al = The.

(Al) Madina (The City)



Fee = In / On the.

(Fee) In the earth / On the earth.



Wa = And.


(Wa) and he was happy.



Fa = So.


(Fa) so he started to smile.



​

Try to memorise those, if you can you will find that they are mentioned alot in the Qur'an. You'll gradually realise that words are mentioned many times in Qur'an repeatedly, and Allaah makes it easy for us alhamdulillah (the praise is for Allaah.)


If i've missed any, please do add and inshaa Allaah (Allaah willing) we'll be talking about prefixes and suffixes next lesson.

Prefixes and Suffixes



Prefixes

Prefixes are usually placed at the beginning of a word, usually to make it understandable that the thing being discussed is a human.

The main one in the arabic language is MU (the meem with a dhamma/peysh.) It can be placed infront of any word nearly; i.e. Muslim, Muhsin, Mu'min etc.


It's usually placed before an action or to personify it. (Someone please correct me if i'm wrong?)


I.e.

Muslim (someone who submits)

Mushrik (someone who commits shirk/association of partners)

Muhsin (someone who does good)




Suffixes


Suffixes are at the end of a word, in the arabic language they are mainly; OON and EEN.


The OON usually refers to the past tense.

The EEN usually refers to the present or future.


It's required to make something plural.




So for example, if there are alot of ---. In the arabic language it would be;

Muslimoon/Muslimeen

Muhsinoon/Muhsineen

Mushrikoon/Mushrikeen



​

Try to make the following words into plurals inshaa Allaah:

Mu'min. (one who believes)

Mujaahid. (one who strives)

Mujrim (one who sins)

Mutahir (one who is pure)

Mujadil (one who disputes)
​

Numbers


We will learn upto 10 in this part of the session insha Allaah:

1 = Waahid

2 = Ith Nain/aan (the Th sounds like when you say thousand)

3 = Thalatha

4 = Arba'a

5 = Khamsa (the Kh sound comes from the throat)



6 = Sita

7 = Saba'a

8 = Thamaniya

9 = Tis'a

10 = 'AshAra
​

You may be wondering why i'm teaching numbers, but numbers are even mentioned within Qur'an. I.e. the number of angels, how long the Day of Judgement will be etc.



Suffixes Continued...


Now that you've seen some of the numbers mentioned above, we will explain how to make the numbers into their (10 x multiplied counterparts) - ty's (i.e. thirty, forty etc.)



The basic rule is as mentioned in the previous lesson, the OON and the EEN's.

So;


2 = Ith Nain

20 = 'Ish rOON (this is the only exception to the rule, that it doesn't mention the 2/two.)


3 = Thalatha

30 = ThalathOON/een


4 = Arba'a

40 = Arba'OON/een


5 = khams

50 = khamsoon/een


​

6 = sita

60 = sitoon/een


7 = saba'a

70 = saba'oon/een


8 = Thamaniya

80 = Thamanoon/een



9 = Tisaa'a

90 = Tisoon/een


​

100 = Mi'a

1000 = Alf

1000,000 (Million) = Millioon



More into depth...

Quick Quiz:


1) What is 50,000 (fifty thousand) in the arabic language?


2) What is arba'a + khamsa?


3) What is Siteen + Thamanoon?


4) What is Imaam Al-Nawawi's famous collection of hadith called?


5) What is 1400 in the arabic language?​

I've edited some mistakes i made on the numbers, alhamdulillah i was corrected.


And some people said that the connectives aren't really 'connectives' - i agree.. i just wanted to fit all the words which will help you link or 'understand' what the sentence is saying. So i will place them all under that 'Connectives' category inshaa Allaah.

I'm going to keep quiet about numbers. The Moroccan words are quite different for Moroccan Arabic and I can not seem to shake them. I'm stuck counting in Moroccan. Although the written digits are the same as in standard Arabic.

 

[Khayal]

So out of 5 i answered 3 right, and the first and the last question i didn't get properly, so I tried my best atleast. I will correct myself, insha'allah.

JazakAllah khair.

 

[Woodrow]

A nice thing to know in Arabic is how to express the negative. That is done with the words ma shee.

andee means I have. Technicaly it means "with me" but it is used much as we would use I have

ma andee shee = I do not have. (Note the location of ma and shee.)

andee daree= I have my house

Ma andee shee daree= I do not have my house

andee tarboosh= I have a hat

Now try to write "I do not have a hat."

 

[MuslimSis&proud]

MashAllah what a brilliant idea, May Allah reward you all with lots of blessings, im really excited about this
