All commands have a sokun at the last letter
_________________________
only Fosha commands in present tense ***
The letter ‘ِل’ in front of any present tense verb translates that verb into a command in the form of ‘lets’
EX لِنأخذ = let us take
لَ versus لِ
The prefix لَ Means has-have / had
Therefore لَها means she has/ had and لَهم means they have/had.
____________________ لِ ______________
Note: لٍنا means ‘for us’
**در فصحة فقط*****
The prefix لِ indicates a soft command such as ‘let’s’ when it is prefixed to a verb in present tense. the same meaning as the word دعونا.
*In Egyptian dialect (ED)
And let’s is expssed by the word خلينا
Passive voice
The passive voice is based on the male single past tense of a past verb like عمل. The passive voice is structured with a ُ (ضمه) for the first letter and a ِ (كسره) for the letter before the last such as عُمِل. or مُفرِض.
Note 1:
Verbs like أزال meaning remove that have an (alf) ا for the letter before last can not simply accept a (kasra) ِ . The ا will be change to a ي instead. So the passive voice for آزال will beاُزيل meaning has/had been removed.
The letter ف as a connector between two parts of a sentenceIn (في فصحة فقط)
‘ف’ دو بخش یک جمله را به هم متصل می کند
** در اول جمله ف مفهوم ‘و’ and را می دهد
(في فصحةفقط) لَم two aspects of
** In fosha only ***
1) when لم is used as a negation it puts the sentences in the past (it is used as negation for past) all the verb in the sentence will be in present form.
2)
(في فصحى فقط) هما versus ها
** Only used iIn Fosha **م
The م in هما(f) ، هم(m) are used only for humans for masculine and feminine respectively and
For non humans as those for masculine and feminine as (m) ها، ه (f) respectively
In ED They and those has the same form as (m) ها، ه (f)
اکثر
More,
The superlative form is الکثر = most and must always follow an adjective like اکثر جمیل= most beautiful.
This form, الکثر will be followed by a adjective that can’t have the ال even if the noun is defenit and starts with ال.
الاخها الکثر جمیل
تم
When تم comes it indicates 1) there is no need for a فاعل in the sentce like the ‘was’ in -it was brought - 2) a the following noun will become a verb (part of the verb)
3) = Done, complete
4) it is in the past
Ex.
سيتم فيها توحيد شعوب أوروبا وآسيا
The سیتم ( س + ي+ تم) indicating masculine and future tense will transform توحید meaning unification into a verb سیتم توحبد will be united
ما اگر اول جمله بیاید
ما اگر اول جمله بیاید بمعنی what است

وجه على التحديد = specifically
The same transformation can happen by repeating the verb (the second time in the form of a noun) change the adjective to adverb however the adjecti and added noun both terminate in “ا.
Ex
یرتبط إعادة البناء الاشتراكي لجهاز ارتباطا” وثيقا” بالعمل السياسي

In arabic this will be achieved with ال like ‘ مدرسة الطب ‘. In Arabic is called مضاف و مضافالیه. If there are several مضافالیه only the last one will receive an ال.
If the first noun ends with a ن then the ن will be dropped
Sick letters احرف العلة ????

If the past singular masculine form of a three letter verb (فعل) contains the احرف العلة in the middle, these letter will be omitted 1) in the present form of the verb 2) in all past tenses of the verb except for he she, they (all third persons) like
رأى= he saw but He sees = يرى
