Read & Translate - Building Sentences

Practice reading Arabic sentences and translating them to English. This lesson combines the "to have" conjugations from Lesson 5 with new vocabulary words.

Vocabulary

Why do words end with “-un”?

The -un ending is called tanween (nunation). It marks indefinite nouns — similar to “a/an” in English.

كِتَابٌ (kitaabun) = a bookvsكِتَاب (kitaab) = book (base word)

To find the base word, simply remove the final “-un” sound (the double-stacked damma بٌ on the last letter).
