BAB 10

BAB 10

In English, the pronoun "you" can refer to masculine as well as feminine, a man or a woman.

But in Arabic, wajadta "YOU found" refers to a man only, not woman.


Oh Anwaar! You found the book?
yaa anwaar! wajadTA al-kitaab?
يا أنوار! وجدت الكتاب؟


Oh Maryam! You found the book?
yaa maryam! wajadTI al-kitaab?
يا مريم! وجدت الكتاب؟

When the pronoun "you" refers to Anwar (man), use the suffix "ta". When the pronoun "you" refers to Maryam (woman), use the suffix "ti".
