This is the third lesson of our Arabic course. we will learn about the Arabic definite article الْ which corresponds to the word ‘The’ in the English Language (known as the definite article in grammar as it refers to a specific object).
Keep in mind that the change in the vowel ending when a word is changed to its definite form, i.e. the /tanwīn/ (double vowel) which represents indefinite form e.g. (a house) has been changed to a single /đammah/. It is hence also important to remember that a word can never take /alif lām/ at the beginning and /tanwīn/ at the same time (i.e. it can never be both indefinite and definite at the same time).
Always begin reading the examples in the paragraphs below from right to left. The first example below will show how to go from an undefined form (like a home) to a definite form (e.g. the house).
Let’s see a few practical sentences using the definite article الْ which corresponds to ‘the’ in the English language In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing)
