Jazakumullah Khairan Katheerah, Sister! Your presentation is really awesome. I have some suggestions for you. Hope you don't mind. Mostly, we see only the plural nouns on the screen and not the singular ones. It is better if you show us the singulars too because there may be people like me who don't have any Arabic background. So, please add the singular nouns too. When you were explaining the patterns of the Broken plurals you mentioned 12 of them; but you gave us only 11 patterns. Similarly, you mentioned only 4 exceptions to the Feminine plurals and not the 5th one. Can you please let us know the missing parts? Jazakumullah Khairan Katheerah!
As a German born Lebanese who´s mother is Azerbaijani/Turkish and father is from Beqaa, Lebanon. I never got to properly learn Arabic, you are such a great help & inspiration! Because of you i will in sha´a Allah master arabic in a few years. I watch your videos for minimum 1h a day up to 3-5 hours. Thank you from the bottom of my Qalb
Thank you Maha for the fun and informative lesson as always! I've enjoyed all your videos over the years but I've always found your grammar videos the most helpful. You could know all the vocabulary in the world but you couldn't string a single sentence together without grammar! :')
When I'm speaking Arabic, I can't try to consider 12 different patterns and see which one fits best, that would be a very slow conversation. In practice, I see that there is a pattern that you can recognise, but you can't always reliably predict which pattern is appropriate. I think this comes with practice and exposure. So for common words I just remember each one indivdually which pattern it belongs to. A kind of universal, more intuitive pattern (to me), is that the plural typically gets a long vowel in the last part of the word. Regular female plurals follow this rule, with ة becoming ات This works even for some highly irregular plurals, for example زهرة (flower) which has several (+unofficial) plurals, like زهور and ازهار and زهرات And of course there are a few exceptions to this too, like the word جمل (sentences) which would take on a completely different meaning if it contained an alif.
Hi maya Really enjoyed your videos on plurals part 1 and 2. Loved the comment on how complex are the male nouns in plural of which the irregular types form 99% an regulars are just 1%, and you said don’t commit suicide! Very relaxed and amusing style, Maya😁. Just one point for improvement, in part 2 u gave us the plural words but I would like to have seen the singular words also written down. I ended up writing the singulars in English from how you said it. Otherwise superb delivery of your lessons. Thank you.
Salām ya Maha. Thanksss. It's a great video. Especially the one on the masculine nouns taught me a lot. but ehmmm.. you didn't mention words like جرائد، حدائق، قواعد، مواقف وموائد. Neither did I hear مدينة that becomes مدن. Are you making another video on this or do we skip it? :D :p Thankssss for everythinggggg yaaaa Mahaaaaa. ♡_♡
Been learning for the pass 9 yrs but knew Maha Yakoub (the teacher in this video) for 14 yrs but didn't start officially learning her mother tongue (Arabic) until 4/15/2013 on the day the Boston Marathon bombing happened
I have been watching your videos during quarantine and it has helped a lot! Would love to come in person to one of your sessions in the Holy Land once covid is over and it’s safe to travel again🙏🏽
Keep in mind (خليكو ببالكو) Asraاسرى the plural for aseer اسير also means captive There's the passive verb for it Inmasak Aseer انمسك أسير Meaning: to be held captive/ prisoner And there's the non-passive verb which is Mesek Aseer مسك أسير = to hold captive/ prisoner
Thanks for the wonderful lesson - and also for those moments where you draw attention to the reality of the Palestinian people. I disagree with the comments I have seen saying Maha should not talk about it. You realise you are learning Arabic/Palestinian dialect from a Palestinian, right? How can you tell someone that them talking about the oppression of their own people is 'putting you off' learning? 3eb That is the reality of the people whose language you are trying to learn. If it's hard for you to deal with you should examine why that is.
Please help me Maha To know the Arabic singular of At'ima and Also the word Argh'ifa Your big fan ,who is currently your obedient student, learning from you , knowing you and exploring 😍love the way of your teaching😇 You changed many lives
You are amazing. Ive just started learning arabic. Do you think i should learn msa or dialect first. Msa is not spoken usually right? Anyways appreciate your channel so much.

Exactly...🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Instead of remembering 12 categories and hoping you guess correctly, it's easier to just learn the plural of each word when you learn the singular. 😣😣😣
Thank you for this extremely helpful video! Since I'm trying to focus on learning Palestinian Arabic, are these instructions and examples only applicable to Fusha, or to Palestinian dialect as well?
Hello, fellow Arabic learners. I'm wondering whether you could recommend me an online English to Arabic dictionary which is able to show me plurals of words in Arabic also with vocalization. Thank you:))
Wow🤩 that's so cool how you explained them so easily, actually this topic was very difficult. And after watching your video i was practising some and i got a problem in figuring out whether the arabic word نحل is irregular masculine plural or not?? Can you please please please answer that?? 🥺🥺
Hi! These lessons have been pretty useful to me! About the practice exercises, though, which would be the correct ones? I don't have a physical dictionary and do not understand how the online ones work exactly... And if anyone can help with that, it would be great. : )
Singilar of Taweel in irregular plural pattern 3 you said its Tiwaal and in feminine plural you said Tawilaat, can you state meaning of Tawilah then ? Also what's meaning of baldah ? Finally where does the plural buldaan fall under ?
I prefer to never use masculin plural 🤣🤣🤣 really. Why would they make 11 different patterns 🙀 i don.t see the point. Every word sounds ok just with وب at the end to me.
Okay, so if I want to mention my two teachers, one of which is a man and the other is a woman, how do I express that in arabic? Apparently none of مدرسات or مدرسون would be correct, or?
Do you have a lesson in wich u teach us how to determin if a word is feminin or masculin? For example, in my language, we use their Plural to determine their gender 🤣 haha ironic. But in my language the plural is not that complicated. Anyway, the gramar itself it.s even harder then this thing with plural in arabic 🙈
Question for Maha.. which colloquial is spoken through the south of israel (يسريل) like eilat and the Negev ..? is it the Lebanese, masri or Jordanian ?
Be careful you speak loudly which is good but there is lots of "echo" or metallic sound effect because of your surroundings. You need more absorbing surfaces around you like carpet and curtains.
German plurals are easier, Even though it also has 12-13 variations based on the 3 genders but at least you can hear it, but Arabic plurals sounded like a new word, so one has to imagine the root consonant and feel for their changes in the vowels or the added alefs in order to roughly comprehend these words for learners. Additionally the adjectives in Arabic inflect so differently whereas the German adjectives follows the 4x4 declension with the strong-mixed-weak table patterns which is straight forward.
Great lessons but if you keep politics out, it will be better. There are no 'many wounded Palestinians daily' in September 2019, and actually for years.
The more politics are being brought into a lesson the more students who want to learn Arabic like myself might start to feel uncomfortable and start leaving and I started noticing that for some reason and it's كتير محزون very sad 😔
Israel does not target civilians. On the contrary, Israel gives civilians warning in advance. Democratically elected Hamas are preventing civilians from moving south. And Egypt is not opening the border to let them escape the battle ground. So there are "many wounded Palestinians" in the last 3 weeks and both Hamas and Egypt can stop it right now.
את מלמדת יפה את שפתך, אבל אינך מכירה יפה את המציעות בארץ הקודש. האסירים הערבים בארץ הקודש אינם צדיקים ויש גם אסירים יהודים. בפצועים הערבים הם אינם פצועים כי שיחקו בעת פציעתם בכדור רגל אלא בגלל שהתעסקו בניסיון לפגיעה ביהודים: יידוי אבנים, זריקת בקת"בים וגם אירועי פח"ע יותר חמורים.
hahahahaha "fortunately, we women don't give a hard time"
LOVE THIS
It is because the Arabic Grammarians and Linguistic scholars were men!!!!!!!!!
One way I learned to how find plurals is to read Arabic text and look up unfamiliar words
this lesson and the structure that you used to teach it was super helpful! thank you so much.

After the German's "der - die - das", here we go again with the masculine-feminine words....
Masculine in Arabic in fact it sounds genderless.
