Algerian Arabic Grammar - Plurals

Welcome to the lesson on Algerian Arabic grammar - plurals! In this lesson, we will be exploring the rules and conventions of forming plurals in Algerian Arabic. We will look at the different types of plurals, how they are formed, and when they should be used.

Types of Plurals

In Algerian Arabic, there are two main types of plurals: regular plurals and broken plurals.

Regular Plurals

Regular plurals are formed by adding a suffix to the singular form of the word. The most common suffix is -āt, which is added to feminine nouns, and -ūn, which is added to masculine nouns. For example:

  • Singular: kitāb (book)
  • Plural: kutub (books)

Broken Plurals

Broken plurals are formed by changing the stem of the word. This is done by adding a prefix or changing the vowel of the stem. For example:

  • Singular: qalam (pen)
  • Plural: aqlam (pens)

When to Use Plurals

Plurals are used when referring to more than one person or thing. For example:

  • I have two cats. (I have two cats, not one cat.)
  • We are going to the store. (We are going to the store, not one person.)

It is important to note that plurals are not always used in Algerian Arabic. For example, when talking about a group of people, the singular form is often used. For example:

  • The family is here. (The family, not families.)
