AI: Transcript ©
Welcome back to the foundations of Arabic. Actually,
this is part 2
of a series that I teach. I explained
at my school, Swiss,
there.
And this is the 2nd book that kinda
comes after that.
Because as you know,
doesn't have, like, a lot of drills and
sometimes the language is Muakaddah.
It's like a little complicated. So
we talked about noun sentences, we talked about.
Now we're going to talk about verb
sentences.
The examples.
Make sure you pronounce
means to shine. Right?
Something like shining.
Like, you know, it it struck like it.
You saw it shine quickly.
Course, in,
some nation narrations of the Quran, like, say,
the the the wolf howled.
Make sure the
is
tall, not And it should be easy because
Right? So the ice fell. The ice fell.
That the,
you know, became increasingly cold. The cold is
becoming increasingly increasingly
strong.
Notice here the kesla because this is octave
by 2 succoons.
So this takes
cut the rose.
Of course,
in in Quran.
Take the book, like grab the book.
So these are like really good sentences for
you to learn, And these are words that
you wanna learn because they're they're found a
lot in literature.
They're found mashallah in Quran.
So, you know, these are words you wanna
know.
I would say the biggest challenge I've seen
for English speakers is not eharab.
Is is Sarf, for sure morphology is a
problem. But the bigger challenge I see with
the English speakers is they just don't have
a lot of vocabulary.
And that's because
they're not exposed to, like, robust literature. We
hope to post things over time that are
gonna help with that exposure.
The sheiks, they say,
right?
We we learn from what preceded
that indeed every one of the examples from
the previous examples,
are called
were called beneficial sentences.
Because they are a construction.
That that cause
a complete benefit for the listener.
If we were to look at these examples
here,
and we're to ponder them, we would see
that each one of them is consisting of
a verb and the subject. The subject is
in.
I like to tell my students, Bama is
the door.
I don't like I don't like us to
get caught up in the, terms because if
you're Arab, you're gonna understand immediately.
Right? You're gonna understand what this means because
it's your language.
But if you're not an Arab, then you
have to learn what do these words mean,
and sometimes we don't learn what fa'il and
fa'il means.
So we don't associate these things with meaning,
I can't stand that. So
when I teach some of my students, I
don't even use this terminology. I talk about
Bhamma being the Dua, Fatha being the Dutu.
Right? So that they're able to associate these
things in the first instance
with meaning.
Okay?
So he says or both of them say
in Adijayr, and one of the writers of
this book, by the way, is is,
Look at each one of these sentences. So
we see verb verb verb verb verb verb,
and here, past tense past tense, present future,
present future, and then the order
to the so he's given they're giving you
all. So talk about in the future when
he explained.
We talks about if you wanna know what
are the verbs,
there are 3. There's
no 4th.
We'll get to that in the future. But
the point here is he's showing you past
tense, present future and the order. So all
the verbs are here and here's their subjects.
Right?
The only one that doesn't have a subject
is this one and this one because the
subject is understood
You cut off the roles.
You
take the book. That's why he says,
this order is
Right? It's a complete speech,
form of speech because the subject is understood.
So
Okay?
Because each one of these synths starts with
a
is is started out with a verb,
and that's why it is called
a verb sentence.
Here's the rule that you wanna learn.
To some Jumlatin furlija.
Any sentence which is constructed of a verb
and its subject is called
a verb sentence.
Here are some of the drills that you
wanna think about.
So you wanna take these different
verbs
and add a subject
them.
So here's like to grow from fruit. Right?
To ripen.
The
door broke. I'm not gonna do all these
because you have a dictionary.
Your father's complaining.
Sought help, seeking help, the Muslims against their
enemy.
Tore the young the the boy is tearing
the,
the paper
And so on and so forth.
And so on and so forth. You can
do these on your own.
Cohen,
Jumolin,
This is not Hamzah to Kota.
This is Hamzah to Wasom.
So you wanna look at these following sentences.
Okay?
You wanna make these the subject of a
past tense verb.
Right? The lion is ferocious. Aqala
adip.
The wolf eats.
Okay?
And so on and so forth.
So you can see what they're doing. Practice
the past tense,
present future.
The nightingale.
It's like a little bird.
Clothing.
Okay?
Fire.
For example,
rain,
the thief,
Right? He's selling something, and so on and
so forth.
So here you're gonna make these the object
of a verb.
So you're gonna have the verb,
the subject,
and here's the object.
And so on and so forth.
So you're gonna make your own sentences. 1
with
past tense, one with
So you had to make 5 sentences, one
about soccer and one about riding bicycles.
Right?
Again, this this is an advanced course. Right?
So don't get frustrated if you're here
and you're like, man, supposed to be this
is not supposed to be easy. I'm pushing
people, and I believe that we have to
push the bar. And I understand, you know,
some people want it simple. Okay? There's places
you can find simple things, but
my training and what I what I seek
to produce of students
is people of a high caliber,
and I say that to just be honest
with you. Next time, Insha'Allah,
we're gonna talk about noun sentences. If you
follow along and stay patient and push yourself,
you're gonna grow.
But if you flake, and I would say,
you know, roughly 85%, 75% of the people
flake out. I've had less than
5 to 10% of people ever actually finished
texts.
And that's that's that's just how it is.
Same thing when I was studying with my
teachers.
People start to trickle out, man.
So push yourself. I'm I'm here to help
you. Any questions, anything you need, you know,
I'm here.
I don't want a lot to ask me
that I didn't do what I was supposed
to do.
And
and remember that every effort
and every pain you feel for Allah, is
gonna be rewarding you.
