By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to create sentences that not only sound natural but also reflect your growing proficiency in Moroccan Arabic.

Understanding Direct and Indirect Objects[edit | edit source]

Direct Objects[edit | edit source]

A direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. In English, you may often ask "what?" or "whom?" after the verb to identify the direct object.

For example:

In the sentence "I eat an apple," "apple" is the direct object because it answers the question "What do I eat?"

In Moroccan Arabic, direct objects are often marked by the definite article "ال" (al) when they are definite. However, they can also be indefinite without the article.

Indirect Objects[edit | edit source]

An indirect object is the noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. It answers the questions "to whom?" or "for whom?" regarding the action of the verb.

For example:

In the sentence "I give a book to my friend," "my friend" is the indirect object because it answers the question "To whom do I give the book?"

In Moroccan Arabic, indirect objects often require the preposition "لـ" (li) meaning "to" or "for" to indicate the relationship between the verb and the indirect object.

Forming Direct and Indirect Object Clauses[edit | edit source]

Now, let’s look at how to form direct and indirect object clauses in Moroccan Arabic.

Direct Object Clauses[edit | edit source]

To form a direct object clause, you simply place the direct object after the verb. Here are some examples:

Moroccan Arabic	Pronunciation	English
أنا كنفطر الخبز	ana kanfṭar l-khubz	I eat the bread
هي كتب الكتاب	hiya ktib l-kitab	She writes the book
هو غسّل السيارة	huwa ghasal ssayara	He washes the car
نحن نشرب العصير	naḥnu nšrub l-ʿaṣir	We drink the juice
أنت تحب الفواكه	nta tḥibb l-fawakih	You like the fruits

In these examples, you can see how the direct object follows the verb directly, making it easy to identify.

Indirect Object Clauses[edit | edit source]

When forming an indirect object clause, you start with a verb, followed by the indirect object, often preceded by the preposition "لـ". Here are some examples:

Moroccan Arabic	Pronunciation	English
أنا أعطيته الكتاب	ana aʿṭītu l-kitab	I gave him the book
هي أرسلت رسالة لأختها	hiya arsalt risala liʾuḵtiha	She sent a letter to her sister
هو يشتري هدية لأمه	huwa yštri hadiya li-ummih	He buys a gift for his mother
نحن نكتب رسالة لصديقنا	naḥnu nktib risala liṣadīqina	We write a letter to our friend
أنت تعطيهم النقود	nta taʿṭīhum l-nuqūd	You give them the money

As you can see, the indirect objects are introduced with the preposition "لـ" (li), helping clarify to whom the action is directed.

Examples of Direct and Indirect Object Clauses[edit | edit source]

Let’s explore more examples to solidify your understanding:

Additional Examples of Direct Objects[edit | edit source]

نحن نحب الموسيقى	naḥnu nuḥibb l-mūsīqā	We love the music

+A '''direct object''' is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. In English, you may often ask "what?" or "whom?" after the verb to identify the direct object.
-== Direct Object Clauses ==
-A direct object clause is a clause that acts as the object of a verb. In Moroccan Arabic, direct object clauses are formed by using a relative pronoun followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood.
+For example:
+* In the sentence "I eat an apple," "apple" is the direct object because it answers the question "What do I eat?"
+In Moroccan Arabic, direct objects are often marked by the definite article "ال" (al) when they are definite. However, they can also be indefinite without the article.
