- In this part of lesson No. 5 we will In-Shā'-Allâh (God Willing) learn about the following things:
- Vocative Particle: A word that is used for calling someone is called the vocative particle and is called حَرْفُ النِّدَاءِ or simply النِّدَاءُ . In Arabic language the word used is يَا. The word following the vocative particle is called الْمُنَادَىٰ and it takes (mostly) the nominative case. However it takes only one /đammah/ whether it is definite or indefinite e.g., in order to call a boy it is يَا وَلَدُ and not يَا وَلَدٌ.
- Carefully read the following text and take a particular look at the vowel endings of the words:
