Learn Arabic grammar lesson 1

Let us start with the introduction to grammar I am using the 1 hour video series and divide the video into 2 parts. I feel an hour lesson online is too long.

PART 1 Arabic words are divided into 3 categories... 1. Nouns 2. Verbs 3. Haraf.

A. Arabic Words

B. Indefinite Nouns.
In English - the form is - a book.
To make it definite, we say - the book.

However in Arabic ,
indefinite - we add tanuwin - haza baitun
non definite - we ad alif lam.. albaitait . No tanuwin is allowed.

We look at english sentence.... This is a house
The Arabic sentence is ...  This House...
There is no .. is a ... which is called copula words.  There is no copula words in Arabic. The same is for Malay... Ini rumah.

In translating Arabic to English.. we will add the copula word to make it readable.

Reading from Right to left

- haza kitabon

- haza  qolamin

- haza miftaahun .

Various form of nouns (time 29min)
1. In nouns end with dommah (depan) 

Starting from Basic Arabic Alphabets

 I always wrongly assumed that everyone know the basic Arabic alphabets. The reality is, most do not know.

So that is where we start: The words are made up of letters, the basic alphabets...

SHIFTING FOCUS

 I am changing the focus of the blog.

Instead of learning to speak Arabic, I am refocus on classical Arabic, with the intent to understand Quran, the Revealed book for Muslim.
