Getting started

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatULLAHI wa barakatuHU wa maghfiratuHU dear all,
With this thread, I hereby volunteer to provide answers to the exercises given in the Arabic Tutor series. However, this goes without saying that my answers would need peer reviews from those of us self-learners who are relatively at an advanced level at learning this wonderful language we all are in love with and have gathered here to appreciate and enjoy. If there are any questions related to any specific issues from anywhere in the book, you all are welcomed to pose them too.


JazakumULLAH Khair,
Wassalam ma'al-ikram

I'm interested in this also, inshallah.

So how should we start?

A question though, the english to arabic can have multiple answers, should one try to stick as closely to the vocab list in arabic tutor as possible?

You bring up an excellent point. Given this, I think that for the time being we should limit ourselves to the Arabic to English exercises until we figure out what to do about the other exercises.

What do you guys think?

Can you type them in Roman English? Like for example, if you wish to write

رجل

then you may write it as "rajulun"... Yes, it will take a lot of time but it is worth the effort.

May Allah Ta'ala Make it easy for you and accept all our endeavours geared towards seeking Hm and Him Alone, however insignificant and mundane they may be or appear to be so! Aameen thumma Aameen.

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatULLAHI wa barakatuHU wa maghfiratuHU dear sister,
First things first. Please accept my heartfelt apology for getting back to you late and postponing my response to your answers.
Secondly, your answers to 1-13 are correct.
14 ) oont ya ghoda jamalun aw farasun

8 ) nahnu and haaza are maarifah and not nakirah, because nahnu is dhameer ( pronoun ) and haaza is ism-ishaara (demonstrative pronoun).


I hope this benefits you, inshaAllah!

JazakumULLAH Khair,
Wassalam ma'al-ikram

Jazakallah sister

=8 ) nahnu and haaza are maarifah and not nakirah, because nahnu is dhameer ( pronoun ) and haaza is ism-ishaara (demonstrative pronoun).

but as per defination of maarifa ,ism maarifa is used for important unique thing or place or name.
Nahnu=I
haza=this.
This is not specifying any important thing?didn't understood.
Can I post next exercise ?I am free for few days.I want to finish it fast.

Aameen wa iyyak, dear sister,
Yes, you may post your answers to the next exercise.

As for your questions,
Nahnu means "we dual/plural". That is, when used in a sentence, it refers to either of the following:
a) we two men,
b) we two women,
c) we many(more than two) men,
d) we many women.

And a person or a group of people knows themselves best, more than anybody else on the face of the earth, right? And maarifah literally means a place of identification/knowledge, in urdu, it would be something like "jaan pehchaan ki jaga" And for a man, the place about which he knows the most is himself. There is a specific term for this and that is, "aariful maarif" (most known of the knowns). For this reason, nahnu is maarifah because it refers to a group of people, two or more, men or women, telling us something about themselves. At this point, I would like to add that we should not conflate the grammatical terms used in Arabic Language with their apparent counterparts in English Language. What is "proper noun" in English Language is only one element or juz of what is maarifah in Arabic Language.

Haaza refers to a specific thing located at a specific position in one's vicinity and that makes it maarifah.

wALLAHU A'ALAM
I hope this answered your question.

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatULLAHI wa barakatuHU wa maghfiratuHU sister,

Lesson 2 deals with the murakkab-e-tawseefi which does not form a complete sentence; it is a phrase.
Exercise 2:-

1) Buzurgi/Shaan/Barai waala Allah

2) Sakhi Rasool (SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam)

4) chhota ghar

7) meethi khajoor

9) namkeen/khaara samandar

11) It is a maarifah compound and there is a general rule that a word preceded by an alif-laam does not get tanween on its last letter. Thus it will be translated as : acha aadmi

12) Rasool Muhammad (SallAllahu alayhi wa Sallam)

13) You missed out number 13. The answer is: Bakhashnay waala Rab

Your 15 and the book's 16) Radi refers to anything that has been rendered useless or trash. So in case of paneer, you could say : kharaab paneer

Your 16) and the book's 17) aik achi/umda roti aur aik meetha khajoor

Your 17) and the book's 18) naik mard aur sakhi/buzurg baadshah

Your 18) and the book's 19) aik laal saib

Your 19) and the book's 20) meetha tarbooz

Your 20) and the book's 21) Laal gulaab

" While translating a murakkab-e-tawseefi, the sifat precedes the mawsoof.
* The words with tanween on them are generally translated as " aik....."
* Since you are doing your exercises in Urdu, you can translate the maarifah words without a suitable Urdu counterpart for the English article "the" which implies specificity.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Dear Naba,
I referred to the Kaleed/Key of the Arabic Tutor and there I noticed that the honourable author has not translated the "al-" part of a maarifah word with any particular word. For example, he has translated " Albateekhul-hulwu" as "meetha tarbooz".
Given this, I think you should re-do your exercise 2's part 2 ( the one from Urdu to Arabic ) adding the "al-s" to the answers to questions on maarifah words. I am only suggesting you re-do it so as to make sure that you have understood the concept and that you remember it all along. If you think there is no such need, then that is fine too.

I hope my above-mentioned suggestion does not offend you.


And Naba, could you please do me a favour? Could you please submit your answers to all the next exercises in separate posts? That way, it will become easier for the other users to locate the answers and their explanations if there are any at all. This is a humble request. I hope you will comply.

I am sorry I did not quite get the point across. I meant, if you could submit your answers to all the next exercises as separate threads with new topics. There is a tab called "NEW TOPIC" on your down-left side. Click on it and a new message window opens where you can type in all your answers and then give it the title of your exercise number, say, Mashq 2 a, Mashq 2 b, etc.

I hope I have made myself clear now.
