40 patterns? Hebrew has only 7. Why so many?

[@纳雪莲]

[@DindaFaiza]

Wow, so interesting and a bit challenging to learn at the same time. Good video! It helps me a loooot since I've never learn the pattern before! Thank you! ^^

[@numayrrahman825]

i recommend lanes lexicon website for meanings

[@shuvomchowdhury4199]

in 25:28 minute mafal is written mafuul.

[@shadialomari9067]

I have a master's degree in Arabic linguistics. you are great and thank you for sharing the video. But I noticed a minor mistake in the video. You dealt with waw and ya in walada and banya as if they are not consonants. waw and ya in the root are consonants. they are called semi-vowel for their phonetics. But phonologically, they are totally consonants. the evidence that they are completely consonants is that they follow and get followed by short vowels.

[@ProbeUranus]

This is the sort of thing that's technically true but has been glossed over for the sake of simplicity in introducing brand-new students to the system. I mean, thanks for your input, but a big part of pedagogy is to use more basic models at first.

[@shadialomari9067]

​@@ProbeUranus Thank you for your reply.. I think you're right on this point.. I see that you have written a book about science fiction in Arabic literature. That is something new for me. I would love to read that book.

[@KutahyaTaxi]

Thank you so much😊

[@mdshahalamchowdhury4155]

Good to learn

[@rahamanmujawar9425]

شكرا جزيلا

[@noraa247]

I don't understand how to know the pattern?

[@abdulmalekpain]

+Nora A it takes time ..it takes time ....and patience

[@ProbeUranus]

+Nora A Yeah it's not simple: this is a basic introduction. Watch the video again, and note how it's sort of like middle school algebra. The three root letters are the x, y and z; the pattern is the equation they go in.

[@lightbearer7652]

if you still interested in the subject, 1. take 2 or more words that rhyme, or sounds like it has a pattern 2. write don the letters that common. 3. replace the others with X's or ف ع ل examples: 1. قصير جميل طويل 2. the common letter is ي in the third place -ي-- 3. the pattern is فعيل or XيXX 4. this pattern used for descriptions, it indicates the object has the trait of the root. example 2 1. طالب خالد داخل خارج 2. the common letter is ا in the second place --ا- 3. the pattern is فاعل or XXاX 4. 4. this pattern indicates an agent noun, the object has received the action of the root. note the feminine marker is (t) pronounced (h) or (a) at the end. and arabic reads right to left
