al-taraakhi and at-Ta3qeeb. (التراخي والتعتيب)
all i know is that they are associated with Arabic grammer, but could someone expand?
If you're referring to "huroof al 'atf", then I can help you, but if it's something else, then I don't know.
"Fa" and "thumma" (sorry, no arabic keyboard) are both from huroof al atf. The fa's meaning is "al tarteeb wa al ta3qeeb". Thumma's meaning is "al tarteeb wa al tarakhi". Tarteeb has to do with ordering, so when you say several things, they are ordered one after the other. Ta3qeeb and tarakhi have to do with when the actions/things happen in relation to each other. Ta3qeeb means the second thing comes right after the other, wherease tarakhi means there is some time between the two things.
So if I say "Akaltu fa sharibtu", it means I ate then immediately drank. But if I say "Akaltu thumma sharibtu", it means I ate, then after a while, drank. How long the "while" really is can be inferred from the actual sentence, but that's the general idea.
Hope that helps.
jazakiallahu khair sis...
so in other words the word "fa" can be translated as "and then" as well :?

why does the word يلد come before يولد?
bump...how do you know when a noun is proper and non-proper. i know that the tanween signifies that it isnt proper, but other than our textbook/teacher telling you that certain nouns are proper/non-proper is there any way of being able to differentiate? or do you have to be some top-notch arabic scholar to know?
