The document discusses Arabic grammar rules for dual forms of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. It provides the singular, dual, and plural forms of common Arabic words like "teacher", "book", and "brother". It explains that to make a masculine singular noun dual, you add "-āni" and change the vowel of the last letter. For feminine nouns, you change the last letter from "-ah" to "-at" and also add "-āni". It provides examples like changing "teacher" from "mudarris" to "mudarrisāni". The document also covers dual forms of pronouns and includes an exercise asking students to identify dual forms.

18-02 - The dual – ‫ا ْلمث َّنى‬

We are still in lesson eighteen of our free Arabic language course. This Arabic
course with images and audios will help you learn Arabic.
In Arabic, nouns fall into three categories namely
Singular - which relates to a single noun
Dual - which indicates two of something
Plural - which indicates more than two of something

In order to change a singular Arabic noun to the Dual the following steps are
involved:
Nominative Case:
To change a singular masculine noun to the case of dual the following changes
occur:
The last letter of the word has its vowel replaced with a single /fatħah/ (i.e.
replacing /the đammah/ or /dammatain/)
The suffix of ‫ان‬
ُِ is added to the word.
See some examples below:

ُ ِ‫ َطال‬will become ‫ان‬


‫ب‬ ُِ ‫َطالِ َب‬
َّ will become ‫ان‬
ُُ‫الطالِب‬ َّ
ُِ ‫الطالِ َب‬
To change a singular feminine noun with nominative case to the Dual, the
following changes occur:
The last letter ‫ ة‬/tā’ marbūŧah/ is changed to the letter ‫ت‬
The last letter (which is now) ‫ ت‬has its vowel replaced with a single
fatħah (i.e. replacing /the đammaħ/ or /dammatain/),
The suffix of ‫ان‬
ُِ is added to the word.
See some examples below:

‫ َطالِ َب ُة‬will become ‫ان‬


ُِ ‫َطالِ َب َت‬
َّ will become ‫ان‬
‫الطالِ َب ُُة‬ َّ
ُِ ‫الطالِ َب َت‬
Genitive and Accusative Case:

Global Arabic Learning Page 3 of 14


To change a singular masculine noun with accusative or genitive case to
the Dual:
A single /fatħah/ is added on the last letter instead of the accusative
case with a /fatħah/ or genitive case with a kasrah/
The suffix /Ya’-Nūn/ ‫ْن‬
ُِ ٌ i.e., a Ya’ with /Sukūn/ and /Nūn/ with a
/Kasrah/ is added.

See some examples below:

ُ ُِّ‫ َم َُعُمُدَ ر‬will become ‫ْن‬


‫س‬ ُِ ٌ‫َم َُعُمُدَ رِّ َس‬
ُِ ِّ‫ ِع ْندَُُ ْالمُدَ ر‬will become ‫ْن‬
‫س‬ ُِ ٌ‫ِع ْن َُدُ ْالمُدَ رِّ َس‬
To change a singular feminine noun with accusative or genitive case to the Dual:
The last letter ‫ ة‬/tā’ marbūŧah/ is changed to the letter ‫ت‬
A single fatħah is added on the last letter instead of the accusative case with
a /fatħah/ or genitive case with a /kasrah/
The suffix /Ya’-Nūn/ ‫ْن‬
ُِ ٌ i.e., a /Ya’/ with /Sukūn/ and /Nūn/ with a /Kasrah/
is added.
See some examples below:

‫ فًُِ َحقٌِ َب ُة‬will become ‫ْن‬ ُِ ٌ‫فًُِ َحقٌِ َب َت‬


‫قُال َّش َج َرُِة‬
َُ ‫ َف ْو‬will become ‫ْن‬ ُِ ٌ‫قُال َّش َج َر َت‬
َُ ‫َف ْو‬
Let’s look at some more examples for a better understanding of the rule:

English Arabic
A brother in the house .‫ت‬ ْ ‫أَخُ ِف‬
ِ ٌْ ‫ًُال َب‬
.‫ت‬ ْ ِ‫انُف‬
ِ ٌْ ‫ًُال َب‬ ِ ‫أَ َخ َو‬

18-04 - The dual – ‫ا ْلمث َّنى‬

In this part of the lesson we will learn the dual form of the Arabic
demonstrative pronouns (i.e. this and that), In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing).

In Arabic language the pronouns also have dual form. We have already learnt the
singular form of masculine and feminine demonstrative pronouns for the nearby
objects in (Lesson 1 section 1) and (Lesson 6_section 2) respectively. We have
also learnt the plural form of the Arabic demonstrative pronouns for the nearby
objects for both the masculine as well as the feminine nouns in (Lesson 13
section 2)

In this part of the lesson however, we will learn the dual form of the
demonstrative pronouns for the nearby objects representing the masculine and
the feminine nouns, In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing).

In order to change the demonstrative pronouns for the near objects (masc.
and fem.) to the Dual form, the following steps are involved:
To change a demonstrative pronoun for the near object representing a
masculine noun to ‫ ُم َث ًّّنى‬i.e., Dual form, ‫ن‬
ُِ i.e., a /Nūn/ with a /Kasrah/ is added,
e.g.:

‫ َه َذا‬will become ‫ان‬


ُِ ‫َه َذ‬
To change a demonstrative pronoun for the near object representing a
feminine noun ‫ َه ِذُِه‬to ‫ ُم َث ًّّنى‬i.e., Dual form, the last letter ‫ ُِه‬ha is changed to the
letter ‫ ت‬and a single /Kasrah/ is replaced with a single /fatħah/ and the suffix
/Alif-Nūn/ ‫ان‬
ُِ i.e., a long vowel /Alif/ and /Nūn/ with a /Kasrah/ is added i.e.,

ُِ ‫َها َت‬
ُ‫ َه ِذ ِه‬will become ‫ان‬

Global Arabic Learning Page 7 of 14


Let’s examine some more examples for a better understanding of the rule:

Picture English Arabic

This is a pen .‫َه َذاُ َقلَم‬


ِ ‫َه َذ‬
ِ ‫انُ َقلَ َم‬
.‫ان‬
These are two pens

This is a girl .‫ُب ْنت‬ ِ ‫َه ِذ ِه‬


ِ ‫ُب ْن َت‬

ِ ‫ان‬
These are two girls

18-06 - The dual – ‫ا ْلمث َّنى‬
In this part of lesson we will learn the dual form of the Arabic personal
pronouns (he, she). In Arabic language all types of pronouns have a dual form,
not only demonstrative pronouns. We have already learnt the singular form of
masculine and feminine personal pronouns for the third person (he / she) in
(Lesson 4 section 7)
In this part of the lesson we will learn the dual form of the Personal Pronouns
for the third person representing the masculine and the feminine nouns, In-Shā’-
Allâh (God willing).
In order to change the personal pronouns for the third person representing
masculine and feminine nouns to the Dual form, the following steps are
involved:
To change a personal pronoun for the third person representing a masculine
noun (ُ‫ )ه َُو‬to ‫ ُم َث ًّّنى‬i.e., Dual form, the last letter ‫ َُو‬i.e., a /Wāw/ with a /fatħah/ is
replaced with ‫ َما‬i.e., /Meem/ with /fatħah/ and a long vowel /Alif/, e.g.:
‫ ه َُُو‬will become ‫ُه َما‬
To change a personal pronoun for the third person representing a feminine
َ ‫ )ه‬to ‫ ُم َث ًّّنى‬i.e., Dual form, the genitive case /kasrah/ of the letter /ha/ is
noun (ًُِ
replaced with the nominative case /đammah/ and the last letter ‫ي‬ َُ i.e., a /Ya/
with a /fatħah/ is replaced with ‫ َما‬i.e., /Meem/ with /fatħah/ and a long vowel
/Alif/, e.g.: ًِ
َُ ‫ ه‬will become ‫ُه َما‬
Let’s look at some more examples for a better understanding of the rule:
English Arabic
He is a student .‫ُطالِب‬ َ ‫ه َُو‬
They both are students .‫ان‬ َ ‫ُه َم‬
ِ ‫اُطالِ َب‬
She is a teacher .‫ًُِمُدَ رِّ َسة‬ َ ‫ه‬
They are both teachers
ِ ‫ُه َماُمُدَ رِّ َس َت‬

18-08 - How much- How many – ‫ك ُْم‬

In this part of the lesson we will learn a new Arabic Interrogative Article, In-
Shā’-Allâh (God willing). We have already learnt the use of the Arabic
Interrogative Articles in (Lesson 4 section 4).
In this part of the lesson we will learn the rules for the Interrogative Article ‫َك ُْم‬
meaning (How many?), In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). We have previously learnt
that the noun following an interrogative article takes the nominative case i.e.,
Global Arabic Learning Page 11 of 14
single /đammah/ if the noun is definite and double /đammah/ if the nouns are
indefinite. However this rule does not apply to the noun following the
interrogative article ‫ َك ُْم‬. The following rules are applied for the use of the
interrogative article ‫ َك ُْم‬:
The noun following the interrogative article ‫ َك ُْم‬is mostly a singular indefinite
noun e.g.:

‫ َك ُْمُ ِك َتابًّاُعِ ْن َد َك؟‬i.e., How many books do you have?


‫ َك ُْمُ ُكرَّ ا َس ًُّةُ َم َع َك؟‬i.e., How many notebooks are with you?
The noun following the interrogative article ‫ َك ُْم‬always takes an accusative case
i.e., /fatħatain/ double-/fatħah/ on the last letter. It must however be
remembered that a masculine indefinite noun takes an /Alif/ along with
/tanwīn/ in the accusative case but the feminine indefinite noun ending in the ‫ة‬
/tā’ marbūŧah/ does not take the /Alif/ - e.g.:

‫صاُ َه ِذهِ؟‬ ًّ ٌِ‫ َك ُْمُ َقم‬i.e., How many shirts (masculine noun) are these?
‫ك؟‬َ ‫ع ًُّةُفًُِ َحقٌِ َب ِت‬ َُ ‫ َك ُْمُ َسا‬i.e., How many watches (feminine noun) are in your bag?

Let’s look at some more examples for a better understanding of the rule:

English Arabic
How many brothers do you have Oh'
Muhammad?
‫كُ ٌَاُم َُح َّم ُد؟‬ َ َ‫َك ْمُأَ ًّخاُل‬
I have one brother .‫ُوا ِحد‬ َ ‫لًُِأَخ‬
And how many sisters do you have? ‫ك؟‬ َ ‫َو َك ْمُأ ُ ْخ ًّتاُ َل‬
ُ
I have two sisters
ِ ‫لًُِأ ْخ َت‬
.‫ان‬
How many wheels does a bicycle have Oh'
Hamid?
‫اُحا ِم ُد؟‬
َ ٌَ ُ‫اج ِة‬ َ َّ‫َك ْمُ َع َجلَ ًّةُلِل َّدر‬
It has two wheels .‫ان‬ ِ ‫لَ َهاُ َع َجلَ َت‬
How many Eid festivals are there in a year ‫ُعٌ ًّداُفًُِال َّس َن ِةُ ٌَاُ َباقِ ُر؟‬ ِ ‫َك ْم‬
Oh' Baquir?
There are two Eid festivals in a year: they ُ‫اُعٌ ُد‬
ِ ‫ُ ُه َم‬:‫َان‬ ِ ‫ُعٌد‬ ِ ‫ِفًُال َّس َن ِة‬
are Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha .‫ُو ِعٌ ُدُاألَضْ َحى‬، َ ‫ْالفِ ْط ِر‬
