ARABIC VERBS
1. Introduction
Arabic language belongs to the Semitic languages like Aramaic, Hebrew and Maltese. The main features of the Arabic language are:
mood: indicative, subjunctive, jussive, imperative
tense: present, past, future
person: first, second, third
number: singular, dual, plural
gender: masculine, feminine
voice: active, passive
2. Classification of verbs
Arabic verbs are divided into two groups:
Regular verbs: verbs with a regular scheme
Irregular verbs: verbs that don't suit a regular paradigm
2.1. The root of the verb
Arabic language uses the third person masculine singular of the past as the base form in dictionaries (like the infinitive in English dictionaries). If we eliminate the vowels of this form, we get three letters (sometimes four letters). These letters are the root of the verb. For example, the verb write:
كَتَبَ (kataba)
If we eliminate all vowels, we get the consonants K - T - B. We need to use these three letters, always in the same order, in order to conjugate completely a verb. With the aid of prefixes (letters before the root), infixes (letters inside the root) and suffixes (letters after the root), we can conjugate the rest of persons and tenses.
3. Non-past indicative
3.1. Active voice
The non-past indicative or imperfect of regular Arabic verbs is formed with the root of the verb plus the prefixes and suffixes ...أَ (ʾa...), ...ﺗﹷ (ta...), ﺗﹷ...ينَ (ta...īna), ...ﻴﹷ (ya...), ...ﺗﹷ (ta...), ﺗﹷ...ﺎﻦِ (ta...āni), ﻴﹷ...ﺎﻦِ (ya...āni), ﺗﹷ...ﺎﻦِ (ta...āni), ...ﻧَ (na...), ﺗﹷ...ﻮﻦَ (ta...ūna), ﺗﹷ...نَ (ta...na), ﻴﹷ...ونَ (ya...ūna), ﻴﹷ...نَ (ya...na):
