Hi !

Can you please explain usage of the following words/adjectives:
من


بن

ها

في

Also, the second word, how do I know, wheter it is 'bin' or 'ibn' ?
And I've seen that Kitaab (Book) is written the same way as Kataba(Writer)
http://arabic.speak7.com/arabic_vowe...s/image006.jpg

Is this true ?

And for the last, I know let's use two words, walad(boy) and bayt(houst).
How would you say in arabic (Would like to see how statement changes):

Boy at the house
Boy in the house
Boy on the house
Boy behind the house
Boy in front of house
Boy and the house

Thanks
Alesh

Bonsoir.



من it depents
is it مِِِن?
: Men? ou Man?

for the first case, its like "from"

رجعت من المستشفى (I just got back from the hospital)

For the second case, its "who".

بن: Coffee.
ها: Is not a word on its own, it can be attached to a word,
ajdective, if you were refering to a woman..

like "her dog" == "Kalbiha" كلبها

في is like, in.

For the second word.
its bin.

it would be ibn if you add an "Alef" => ا=>
ابن

kitaab : كتاب=> not the same as "kuttab"
Kuttab = كتّاب
There is this "chadda" => ّ on top of the letter ت

I am just learning Arabic But I can answer some of your question:

1) I think من = means (From )

I think ابن = means "ibn " (Son )

I think ها = means (Hein)

I think في = means ( in )


2) As with regards to Kataba Probably they mean " Al-Katibah (writer)

Hi !

Thanks all for the help.

- As matters ''maa" word, it is from the following
statement (don't know to pronounce the end,
but somehow ... 3alun maa ismi )
المعارضة على الذكرى الـ88 لإعلان ما يسمى

- Since Ibn is 'Son of' than Bin is something like 'Father of' ?

- As matters 'kitaab' I would know properly to
read, if there would be additional signs like Fatha,
Kasra,Damma etc. but usually (specially on the internet) they're left off

- (Men ? Man ?) is from the following statement

في العاصمة البحرينية المنامة إلى سلسلة من

Still would like to know how forms differs of (Walad,Bayt) example I have given.

Salam
Alesh

Euh. AM i writting in invisible ink?



Ok. Ben means Coffee.
But it has another meaning,
"son" as in shortage of "Ibn"
not Father.

for the chaddah, its not used, thats true.
so you're gonno have to make a difference by urself.

in your example,
its "men" that means From.
Still u didnt give the full sentence, its impossible to stop there.

For the other stuff, ill get back to u later.

Hi .. I would like to clarify the confusion about Ben and Ibn .. acctully, they have the same maeaning , both means son. We use ben, when it comes between two names , like Khaled ben Alwaleed for examply. and we use Ibn when it preced a name, like we talk about Mohamed, and someone asks who is Mohammad, you will say , he is Ibn Ali ...

just a reminder, when you talk common Arabic and not classic, it is always Ibn, we don't use Ben in everyday language.
