Interogative pronouns
(notes for parent / teacher)In the previous two lessons we have learnt about Mubtada and Khabar using definiteand indefinite nouns. In Mubtada+Khabar construction, both are marfoo. Mubtada ismost of the time definite and khabar is most of the time indefinite.What is this?
اذھ 
Who is this?
اذھْنَ 
What is that?
كذ 
Who is that?
كذ ن
is used when interrogating about non-intelligent (gair aaqil) objects or beings.
ْنَ 
Is used interrogating about an intelligent (aaqil) being.According to Arabic Scholars, Intelligent beings are – Human beings, Angels andJinn.
اذھ
And
كذ
are demonstrative pronouns (ismu ishara) for close by and far awayobject respectively. Both these pronouns are for pointing to masculine singular.Pronouns are also treated as nouns. Therefore, the sentences on page 2 arenominal sentences and follow the rules of Mubtada+Khabar construction. Bothmubtada and khabar are Marfoo, even though there is no damma at the last letter of mubtada. This is because of the fact that both
اذھ
And
كذ
have a sukoon on their last letters. They are both marfoo but our eyes cannot see it.In the following picture every object will be interrogated with
كذ  اذھ 
exceptfor the boy, for whom
ْنَ اذھ
will be used.Please practice making simple sentences based on the pattern in the next fewpages.
