A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!
- The noun نـَفسُ =====================
The noun نـَفسُ is feminine and means "soul." If you use it before another noun it will create Idaafa and change its meaning to "same."
**يأکلُ دائما ً في نفس ِ المطعم ِ.**
He always eats at the same restaurant.
If it follows a noun, it should carry a corresponding pronoun reference to that noun and its case as well. Its function becomes emphatic.
**قابلتُ المُراسِلَ نـَفسَهُ.**
I met the correspondant, himself.
