What is a Noun • A noun (or a substantive) (Arabic: اِسْمٌ = "a name") is a name or an attribute of a person (Ali), place (Mecca), thing (house), or quality (honor). • Nounsthat designate immaterial things(honor) are called abstract nouns. • Nouns that are Permanent names of persons or places are called proper nouns أَسْمَاْءُ عَلَمٍ,

  4. Notes • All nouns in Modern Standard Arabic are either masculine or feminine. • Adjectives must follow the nouns they modify in terms of gender. • In Arabic, all nouns must have a gender, e.g. the word for chair (كرسي) is masculine while the word for table (طاولة) is feminine. • Learners of Arabic should learn the gender of all nouns as they meet them

  5. Notes • General rule is “add a “taa’ marbuta” ((ة, ــة to form the feminine from a masculine word, and omit it to form the masculine • To form a feminine word from the masculine in Arabic, you simply add “taa’ marbuta” which looks like (ة) or ( ـة ) depending on the word it’s connected to. Usually for animals, humans and professions… for example: • kalbكلب(masculine dog) è kalba كلبة(dog feminine)

  6. Examples • Sadeeq صديق(friend masculine) è Sadeeqa صديقة (friend feminine) • Hazeen حزين (sad masculine) è hazeenah حزينة(sad feminine) • Kabeer كبير (big masculine) è kabeerah كبيرة(big feminine)

  7. nouns are supposed to be masculine unless there is a feminine marker “taa’ marbuta” ((ة, ــة affixed to them. As we have mentioned • The difference between a tied taa ـَة and an open one ت is that a tied taa'< is pronounced ah or a Like سيارة “ Sayarah” means car

  8. Exception • Sky سماء samaa’ is feminine even if there is no “taa’ marbuta” ((ة, ــة at the end of the word, • Windريحreeh is feminine even if it’s not ending with a “taa’ marbuta”.
