Imeandikwa na kukaguliwa na AI

Masomo haya yameandikwa na kukaguliwa na AI, na bado hakuna mwalimu wa Kiarabu aliyeyasoma. Aya, maana zake na uchambuzi wa kila neno vimechukuliwa kutoka vyanzo vyake, ambavyo vinatajwa pale vinapoonyeshwa.

Somo hili limeandikwa kwa Kiingereza na Kibengali tu, kwa hiyo linaonyeshwa hapa kwa Kiingereza.

Yamehesabiwa kutoka Quranic Arabic Corpus: neno linajulikana kikamilifu kila sehemu yake ikishafundishwa. Hesabu hizi zinaonyesha maneno uliyokutana nayo, si kiasi unachoelewa.

English has one "if" and one "when". Arabic has several, and each says something about time: whether a thing has happened, will happen, or did not happen at all. Lesson 4 taught in, "if", and lesson 8 idhā, "when", most often of what is to come. This lesson teaches the others.

The new words

  • لَوKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: لَوْ · لَّوْ · لَوِ

    if (of what did not or will not happen)

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 201

  • لَوْلَآKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: لَوْلَا · لَوْلَآ · لَّوْلَا

    if it were not for; why not

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 75

  • إِذKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: إِذْ · إِذِ · إِذ

    when (of what has happened)

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 239

  • لَمَّاKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: لَمَّا · لَمَّآ · لَّمَّا

    when (once it had happened)

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 156

  • يَوْمَئِذKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: يَوْمَئِذٍ · يَوْمَئِذٍۭ · يَوْمِئِذٍ

    on that day

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 70

  • لَنKama Qur’ani inavyoliandika: لَن · لَّن · لَنْ

    will not (before a present verb)

    Mara katika Qur’ani: 106

If it were so

Law is "if", of what is not so, or of what did not happen.

لَوْ
Sehemu zake
  1. لَوْif (of what did not or will not happen)
Qur’ani 102:5

The corpus marks law as a word of condition.

Lawlā is law with lā: "if it were not for", and, before a verb, "why not?".

When it happened

Idh is "when", of what has happened.

إِذْ
Sehemu zake
  1. إِذْwhen (of what has happened)
Qur’ani 79:16

The corpus marks idh as a word of time. Lammā before a past verb is also "when", once a thing had happened. Before a present verb, lammā is "not yet"; the corpus most often counts that lammā with lam, from lesson 4, and not as this word.

On that day

يَوْمَئِذٍ
Sehemu zake
  1. يَوْمَئِذٍon that day
Qur’ani 79:8

Yawmaʾidhin is yawma, "on the day", from lesson 9, with idh, which takes -in here, written as one word with it: "on that day". The corpus keeps it as one word of time.

Will not

Lan stands before a verb in its present form and denies the future: "will not". The verb after it ends in a, the subjunctive; a verb that ends in -ūna loses its -na.

لَّن
Sehemu zake
  1. لَّنwill not (before a present verb)
Qur’ani 84:14

In a sentence

Sentensi iliyoandikwa kwa mazoezi
لَنْ أَذْهَبَ

I will not go.

This sentence was written for practice. Lan adhhaba: "I will not go". Adhhabu, "I go", ends in a after lan.
