Study Notes

In Arabic, nouns and adjectives can take one of three cases:
- Nominative (مرفوع): subject of the sentence
- Accusative (منصوب): direct object of the sentence
- Genitive (مجرور): indirect object or possessor
The nominative case is marked by a د (damma) on the last syllable of the noun or adjective
The accusative case is marked by a أ (fatha) on the last syllable of the noun or adjective

Arabic sentences typically follow a VSO (Verb-Subject-Object) word order
However, the word order can be flexible depending on the emphasis and context of the sentence
Arabic sentences often use a system of suffixes and prefixes to indicate grammatical relationships between words

Arabic verbs are conjugated according to:
- Tense (past, present, or future)
- Mood (indicative, imperative, or subjunctive)
- Voice (active or passive)
- Person (first, second, or third)
- Number (singular or plural)
- Gender (masculine or feminine)
There are 14 main verb forms in Arabic, each with its own set of conjugations
The verb conjugation pattern is determined by the root letters and the pattern of the verb

Possessive pronouns in Arabic are attached to the noun they possess
The possessive pronouns are:
- my: ي (ya) or إي (i)
- your (m.): ك (ka)
- your (f.): كي (ki)
- his: ه (hu)
- her: ها (ha)
- our: نا (na)
- your (pl.): كم (kum)
- their: هم (hum)
