Definite Article: (al) Nominal subject
We learned in that previous lesson that,
most noun end with "Tanween"
() and
it corresponds
to English indefinite article "a" or "an" (in most cases).
When we
have to make a specific reference, , one of it kind or limiting certain type of things
or person etc. We just put "al"
in front (prefixed) of a common noun. It corresponds to
English definite article "The" (in most cases). other
meaning may be possible e.g. All, most, being, who etc.
Conversion: (1) prefix
(2) change dammatain
()
into simply dhamaah
