Transliteration: |
Arabic: |
This is a lady doctor |
/Hādhihi ŧabībatun/ |
|
This is a bag |
/Hādhihī ħaqībatun/ |
- In Arabic Language, words can be either masculine or feminine. This does not necessarily follow a set logic, e.g., whilst we know that the noun "girl" is feminine, the noun for "beard" is also feminine. This should be understood alongside the rules of how a word is changed from masculine to feminine that are covered in another lesson (see Lesson 4 section 7). A few examples of nouns and adjectives which do not have any of the symbols for the feminine nouns but are still considered to be feminine are illustrated below:
