UNIT 1 :

Lesson-1 : WORDS IN ARABIC

Arabic words are divided into three main categories:

Ism,  Fi’l   and  Harf

• Ism: A person, place, thing, adjective, adverb, idea, and others.
• Fi’l: An action connected to a tense (past, present, or future).
• Harf: A word that does not carry a complete meaning on its own. It needs others words after it for a complete meaning.

Examples:

• ISM –
• PERSON: Mohammed, Maryam, teacher, writer.

A person’s name can be specific, such as Mohammed, or general, such as teacher.

• PLACE: Egypt, school, store.

A place name can be specific, such as Egypt, or general, such as school.

• THING: book, pen, table.

Things are physical objects that can be touched.

• ADJECTIVE: tall, short, nice.

Adjectives describe people, places, things, or ideas.

• ADVERB: slowly, quickly, happily.

Adverbs describe how an action happens.

• IDEA: justice, happiness, education, authority.

Ideas are abstract and intangible; they exist but cannot be touched.

Additional categories will be covered in a later chapter.

• Fi’l:
• Past tense: He played; we gave.
• Present tense: He is playing; we are giving.
• Future tense: He will play; we will give.

• Harf:
• Examples: to, from, in, with, if.
