A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!

  1. Plurals ===========

There are three types of plural in Arabic:

a. The Masculine Sound plural is created by**(** ونَ ) suffixed to the noun in the nominative case, and ( ** ينَ** ) in both genitive and accusative cases.

teachers (m)**         ** مُدرِّسونَ  ، مُدرِّسينَ  ،  مُدرِّسينَ

b. The Feminine sound plural is created by dropping the Taa’ MarbuuTa and replacing it with**(** ** اتٌ** ) for the nominative case and**(** اتٍ ) for the accusative & genitive cases.

teachers                    مُدرِّساتٌ  ، مُدرِّساتٍ  ، مُدرِّساتٍ

c. The Broken plural is an irregular form. Even though several nouns may exhibit the same "broken" pattern, one has to learn the words individually.

dog(s),  cat(s)**       ** کلبٌ / کِلابٌ   ،  قِطـٌّ / قِططـٌّ
