Lesson 22 - اَلدَّرْسُ الثَانِي وَالْعِشْرُونَ

Cases of Diptotes - إِعرَابُ الْمَمْنُوعِ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ

Cases of Diptotes - إِعْرَابُ الْمَمْنُوعِ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ

• In this part of the lesson, we will learn the cases of the Diptotes In-Shā’-Allâh (God Willing) i.e.,

إعْرَابُ الأَسْمَاءِ الْمَمْنُوعَةِ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ

• Unlike the ordinary nouns, "The Diptotes" do not take double vowel mark. Similarly, Diptotes do not take /Kasrah/ in the genitive case.
• We know that the noun takes the genitive case i.e., single /Kasrah/ if it is definite – e.g.  مِنَ الْجَامِعَةِ and double /Kasrah/ if it is indefinite e.g.  فِي مَسْجِدٍ, when it is in the possessive expression (annexation) or when it is preceded by a preposition.
   
• However diptotes اَلْمَمْنُوعُ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ take /fatħah/ instead of a /Kasrah/ if in genitive case.  We have already learnt in the previous lesson i.e., (Lesson 20 section 4) that Diptotes are those nouns or adjectives which never take /tanwīn/ i.e., Double Vowel Mark. So whenever a diptote noun is preceded by a preposition or is /Muđâf Ilaihi/ it will take a /fatħah/ instead of a /Kasrah/ - for example - Ahmad's book i.e., كِتَابُ أَحْمَدَ
• The same is the case with all the other groups of diptotes we have learnt so far.
• Let’s take some examples for this rule:
