In-Depth Blog Post: April 19, 2022

It’s time for another In-Depth blog post.

This time, it’ll be a mix of both grammar and new vocabulary.

I’ll start with grammar, move to vocabulary, and hopefully add an example.

The first thing that we’ll start with is conjugating verbs. Below is a table along with some examples of it.

To I You (to a man) You (to a woman) He She
Drink يشرب أشرب تشرب تشربي يشرب تشرب
Go يذهب أذهب تذهب تذهبي يذهب تذهب
Eat يأكل أأكل تأكل تأكلي يأكل تأكل
Live يسكن أسكن تسكن تسكني يسكن تسكن
Read يقرأ أقرأ تقرأ تقرأي يقرأ تقرأ
Draw يرسم أرسم ترسم ترسمي يرسم ترسم
Write يكتب أكتب تكتب تكتبي يكتب تكتب

 

The pattern is the prefix of the word, demonstrated by the patterns in the table. It is important to note that the prefix for to [verb] is the same as the prefix for he [verb] and the same applies for you [verb] and she [verb]. They are distinguished by context. Another rule is that when there are two verbs working together, the prefix have to be the same as each other. So rather than saying I like to drink water in English, you would say I like I drink water in Arabic.

Next, I’ll talk about phrases.

Some of the phrases include:

How are you – كيف هلك

Response – الحمد لله or بخير

How – كيف

How many – كم

Yes – نعم

No – لا

 

Finally, below are some vocabulary I learned since the last blog post.

Bedroom غرفة
Child ولد
Tea شي
Years سنة
Notebook دفتر

Butterfly فراشة
Pear إجاصة

Boots جزمة
Bicycle دراجة
Bird عصفور
Giraffe زرافة
Sheep خروف
Book Cover غلاف
Horse فرس
Hammer فأس

Attached is an audio file of me going through these vocabulary.

Finally, I’m going to create some sentences using what I now know. There will be audio down below.

You (man) drink tea. تشرب شي.
I like to eat noodles. أحب أأكل مكرونة.
She reads three books. تقرأ ثلاثة كتب.
He goes to school and a store. يذهب الى مدرسة ومحل.

That’s been all for this blog post.
Cheers,
Tyler
