Last week we did a deep dive into learning and memorizing the past tense and present verb forms of Arabic with the verb fa’a’la (meaning is to do). I also learned how the point of views and pronouns are embedded in the verb and the last letter is the indicator. One example I forgot to include last week is the following: http://<img src=”blob:chrome-untrusted://media-app/394d7fb5-a7f7-41cf-8b1f-1b52c23dbc1b” alt=”Screenshot 2024-10-08 10.25.16 PM.png”/>

The colored letters/word which are paired for each verb are the translations. The last letter of the Arabic is the determining factor for the pronoun.
This week I decided to continue on with the next stage of learning Arabic verbs. I learned the verb conjugations for the present and past tense verbs along with learning the active and passive forms of the verbs. This online resource was very helpful in this regard. If you were to read through the sections of active and passive, then this would give an idea of what I have learned.
Nevertheless I still would like to provide an example of my learning.
Active past tense verb:
Passive past tense verb:
Hence, I learned and memorized the entire verb conjugation for both sections.
This is so awesome! I took a French class last year and conjugating verbs for me was the hardest thing. It seems like you have a very good grasp on it and it also looks like you are learning so much already!
Hi Makenna, Thank you for the complement. Really appreciate this.
I think it’s cool that you are learning Arabic! It’s also cool that you are ensuring that you learn how to write it at the same time. Good luck with this learning project!
Hi ALyssa, thank so much for replying!
