Language/Standard-arabic/Grammar/Plural

Hello Everyone,

Today, we are going to talk About the Plural in the Arabic Language.

Well, in Arabic Every noun more than three things or Persons called Plural (Jam'a) and this Jam'a can be by Adding something to the word.

For Example:

• World (A'lam) (عالم) If we want to make it Plural we should Add letters to It and these letters are Either (ون) Or (ين) so here is how it becomes

• (عالمون) and (عالمين) both of this means (Worlds )

However, we use each one in different places

we also make Plural by changing the letters of the Word itself like ( man ) (رجل )we make it plural by changing the Letters of the Word Itself (men ) (رجال)

• Another Example is (pencil) (قلم). The Plural is (Pencils) (أقلام)

1. So the First type {by adding special letters (ون) Or (ين) } called : Jam'a Mozakkar Salim.
2. The second type { the one that we change the Letters of the Word itself } called  : Jam'a Takseer.

You should know that Jam'a Mozakkar Salim is for male nouns or anything we can Consider as male as in First Example (World).

so for now we have Jam'a Mozakkar Salim and Jam'a Takseer

the third Type is Jam'a MoAnnas Salim:

Every noun more than three things or persons is called Plural and this noun must be a Female noun or anything we can consider as a female.

We make the plural of this name by Adding (ات) to the End of the noun.

For Example :

• the name (Fatima) (فاطمة) the plural is (فاطمات)

• (Nurse) (ممرضة) the plural is (ممرضات)

I'm going to talk now about first type Of Jam'a:

• Jam'a Mozakkar Salim

How can we create it and how do we know that this word can be Jam'a Mozakkar Salim or Not?

So, here is the answer:

We create this Jam'a Mozakkar Salim by adding (ون) Or (ين) to the End of Word. This word must be a noun not Verb.

We add (ين) when the name is said Maftooh and Maksoor. We'll explain this in another lesson.

We Add (ون) when then Noun is Madmoom. We'll explain this in another lesson.

Like this You can Make the Jam'a from Nouns.

Well, this was just an introduction.

I hope this was Helpful.
