Welcome to,
Clear Arabic.
Now we're going to move on to the
practice component of the first chapter. And I
think this is what really is gonna help
a lot of you. I know oftentimes when
I meet people, they've learned Arabic, they've learned
parts of Arabic grammar,
they've learned morphology, but they lack vocabulary practice
and composition.
So let's quickly review the principle we learned
in the first lesson,
where he says right here, Al Qaeda. Al
Qaeda does not mean the group, so I'm
sure the YouTube sensor just went freaking insane.
But Al Qawaid
is the plural of Qa'ida
of Qa'ida. Fawa'il.
We'll talk about in the future what words
take this kind of what's called Jamutuxir,
broken plural.
But
it means rules or principles. And if you
look below, we see 2 of them.
So he says that the the construction
and means I build something on something else.
So here it means the construction
of of words. Right? A tarqib here, tarqibul
kalimat,
this as you'll learn in the future according
to the represents for
those of you who know what that is.
For those of you who don't, don't worry.
A tarkebu, the construction, a levy which you
feed, right, brings a beneficial fatita tantama, a
complete benefit.
Usama
is is is called
It's called a complete sentence.
Then he says
and this should be
The second principle is that a complete sentence
can consist of
2 words or more.
Or more.
And
in in that construction,
each one of those words is considered a
part and this is gonna be important in
classical text. I'll just ia, well, adza, well,
just well,
well, well, just a
part of the sentence, a part of the
sentence. Okay? So one more time. The first
principle that we've learned,
meaning that the construction which brings about a
complete benefit, meaning a complete thought
is called a complete sentence. And for those
of you who studied
with me, you know, or
others that that is breaking down what he's
saying here in in easy terms.
So a complete sentence could consist of 2
words, could be constructed
of 2 words,
or
more.
In every word, fihay, in that sentence,
toadu is considered juzaminha a part of it.
Now let's move on to the actual drills
and this is what I love about this
text and I think this is gonna help
a lot of you. He says,
So here's the order, Iqra enter.
You read
the previous examples
or the previous examples that are coming. Sorry.
And then in in tell in each example
how many words there are. So what he
means here sorry. The previous examples
are these up here. So
I'm gonna put the link to the text
here.
That you can access.
So, al Bustan, Jamil, there's a word there's
a word. Asham
Sultanya
1, 2. Shamma'ariyunwardatan.
I'm not gonna tell you the rest. Okay?
I'm gonna link the PDF to the text
at the bottom
of this so you can Insha'Allah benefit. Let's
look at the second,
drill.
Is the plural of Jumlah.
So read the sentences, Al Atiyah, Al Atiyah
is the opposite of Sabiqa.
Means previously,
the things which are coming.
And clarify
and here this takes Kasra because this is
sukoon
and actually it's Bayin anta But because there's
a sukoon here and a sukoon here, we
have Iltika, sakinaim.
So this takes Kasra.
So read these sentences and show what are
the words in the sentences. So
the the the the sky is rainy. So
there's a word, there's a word. And let
me let me help you.
This I I feel sometimes is really kind
of cool.
The next example, Al Hadiyahqatoo
Jami'iletun.
The garden
is beautiful.
The garden is beautiful.
The next
the rain stopped.
The rain stopped.
The next, Yasiru
Sahabu.
Yasiru means from Sira, you know, because you
actually follow the life of someone. So it's
called Sira,
the Sira of the Prophet sallai sallam. Yasiru
means to move.
Yasir Sahab, the clouds
are rolling or moving in the sky.
The next,
the sun
rises, the sun is rising.
The earth is becoming dry, right, like a
drought.
The bird
sits
on the tree or is above the tree
if you wanna take it literally.
Is cutting
the flowers.
The 2 boys
are playing
with a ball.
The water is
falling from the heavens.
Tasiru,
same word look, yasir, tasir. Why why does
this have ta? Why does this you this
verb? Because Sahab here is male.
Asufon is female. So remember that that the
present and future verb, if it's male has
you, if it's female has ta. Tasiro sufuro
felbihar.
The,
boats
are are sailing in the sea.
Yeshtadulbardufalkaljibal.
Okay? So here's you. So if it's you,
that means that its subject is going to
be what I just told you.
When you see you on
a present future verb, al Mudareh, for those
of you who know what that is, those
of you don't, don't worry it's coming.
That means that the Fa'il
is male.
So here,
above the mountains,
the the cold becomes intense.
Your job now is to go back and
if you want you can email me, I'll
put my email address here. You could tell
me how many words
are in each of these examples,
Insha'Allah.
The 3rd, mayyiz. The word mayyiz means to
distinguish between 2 things. You mayyiz Allah. Allah
says in the Quran and
You may ease Allah so that Allah can,
distinguish. Also, you find this in Surat Al
Ahzab.
So the word mayiz
means to distinguish. If you've taken Arabic, you've
heard of Tamiz.
It's from the same word, man. Tamiz.
Meizi,
again, there is a sukoon
and Meiz is an order fa'ala yufayru
right may use.
But because this is sukoon
and this is Sukhun, we have Iltika
a Sakhi name. So you give this a
kasawa.
May is Al Jumala.
Al Jumala
clarify. And always remember that the due to
when the verb is doing something to something,
it takes fatha or manaba'anha. We'll talk about
this in the future.
And this is why I like this book.
You just learned the word tarkib, it means
construction. Tarakib is the plural of tarkib.
Right? Al Atia, you know, this word the
opposite. What is the anonym?
The modad of this is what? Asabiqa.
Asabiqa.
I love this text and if you are
patient and you take this text with me
and you work hard and you don't give
up and you don't feel sorry for yourself,
you don't start a language, you know, pity
party,
InshaAllah, you're gonna you're gonna benefit a lot
InshaAllah.
So look at at these sentences and tell
which one is complete,
And which one is
The weather is not.
Obviously, it's not it's not because
It needs. It needs. Laysa works like
The
train is fast.
This is a conditional sentence. If you work
hard,
what? It's not there.
The listener is waiting for a complete thought.
If you work hard, you're gonna succeed.
If you work hard, you're gonna succeed.
Late al maridu.
Here, late al marid,
late al maridwa.
You know, unfortunately, the sick what? And Laytah
works like, You Amal Amal Al Inna.
Right? So Layt Al Maribah
and Yazurah of Tabiva.
You know, oh, I wish the sick person
had visited the doctor.
So again, there's something here missing.
The clothes.
The book which
this is a
right comes after that's not there. So this
is not a complete sentence.
I'm not going to tell you this one.
I want you to answer this one and
email it to me.
My email
at my school, I'll put below.
I'm not answering this one. You tell me
if this is a complete sentence or not,
and tell me why, and tell me why.
Masha'Allah, Masha'Allah.
Let's look at the the 4th round of
drills in this in this text.
Ija'al
make
every mitharin
example from the examples al atiyah. I'm not
telling you what al atiyah means. We already
learned
it. It says make every one of the
forthcoming examples complete sentences by placing a word
in the middle here
of the empty space, al Makan, the space,
empty,
The nightingale
cage. You could put
Excuse
me.
The night in the is in the cage.
The boy is eating fruit.
This is bull.
So the bull
the bull is is running on the earth.
The well behaved child
wet.
The tight shoes.
So I'm not telling you these. You can
do these on your own and send them
to me
insha Allah
or, you know,
find someone who can review it for you.
The 5th, raqulakalimatin
place every word minal kalimetal aatiya from the
forthcoming words, fijumlatinmufi
latinmorakkabatan
min kalimetin.
Take all of these words and make them
complete sentences
with at least 2 words. So Al Habiaqa,
the garden, Ashjajara,
the tree, Al Azharu,
the flowers, the sun.
The same thing here, but this time you're
going to do it with 3 words or
more. So alma, water, alfaqihah,
the fruit,
play,
to ride.
Here he says
present 3 sentences.
So make
make 3 sentences that are made up of
3 words
and do 3 sentences,
which are made up of 3 words.
And then make
3 sentences made up of 4 words. So
3 sentences made up of 2.
3 sentences made of 3 words.
Suhaib is praying, and then 4 words,
It's like a tasty fruit. Alright, Alhamdulillah. So
we finished these first practice rounds and now
we're going to move, Insha'Allah,
next time to the second chapter. And for
each chapter, we'll do the lesson and then
I'll also walk with you through
the practice. I appreciate if you share this
on social media. If you find benefit, like,
share, and let others know. I think this
course will really help out a lot of
people who find themselves knowing Arabic,
but not knowing vocabulary,
composition,
and practice. Allah
bless you.
