ُ‫َأ َم َر يُوْ ُسف‬

Yusuf commanded.
ʼamara – commanded/ordered

I put "yoosuf" in blue because it's the doer of the verb. Words that are in blue usually get "u" at the
end. That's why there's an “u” at the end of “yoosufu”.

Very important rule #1: Words that are in blue usually get an "u" at the end. This should be easy to
remember because the word "blue" ends with an "u" sound: bloo.

Important rule #1: When a sentence contains a verb, then the doer of the verb is in blue.

َ‫َأ َم َر يَ ْعقُوْ بُ يُوْ سُف‬

Yaqub commanded Yusuf.

Here I put "yoosuf" in red. Why? Because it's the receiver of the verb. Words that are in red usually
get an "a" at the end. That's why there's an "a" at the end of "yoosuf" in this sentence.

Very important rule #2: Words that are in red usually get an "a" at the end. This should not be too
hard to remember because the vowel in the word "red" sounds somewhat like the sound "a".

Important rule #2: When a sentence contains an verb, then the receiver of the verb is in red.

The women saw the school.

Noor bought the book.

ٌ‫ب فِرْ عَوْ نَ ُش َعيْب‬

Shoaib hit Firawn.
Daraba - hit

As you can see, the order of the words does not matter; the endings matter. And “firʻawna” has the
color red because it's the receiver of the verb.
