Feminine nouns
As examples of nominal sentences, we will use some of the feminine nouns in the previous lesson. The first must be definite, and the second indefinite.
| English | Arabic |
|---|---|
| The girl is a student | البنتُ طالبةٌ |
| The princess is a writer | الأميرةُ كاتبةٌ |
| The president is a doctor | اَلرَّئِيْسَةُ طبيبَةٌ |
Forming feminine adjectives
The feminine of an adjective is formed by adding a ة to the masculine, the same way a feminine noun is formed from the masculine.
| English | Arabic |
|---|---|
| new | جَدِيْدَةٌ |
| young | صَغِيْرَةٌ |
| beautiful | جَمِيْلـَةٌ |
We can then use these adjectives with feminine nouns to form nominal sentences, as shown below
| English | Arabic |
|---|---|
| The car is new | السيارةُ جَدِيْدَةٌ |
| The girl is young | البنتُ صَغِيْرَةٌ |
| The garden is beautiful | الحديقةُ جَمِيْلـَةٌ |
