[@globaltesoro]

One piece of the puzzle I have been overlooking on all of your other verb conjugation videos but now am realizing how frequently they are actually being used. Before this video Every time you go through the list I just skip the active participle part kind of lazily thinking it didn't matter that much. Thank you for this detailed video very grateful sensai

Excellent video as per usual, very well broken down and explained. I have one question though, you said the active participle can be used as the past, present or future tense, so when you gave the example I wrote everything in the email, or I have studied the history of the middle east (15:20 mark), how would I determine/know if it’s I am writing or I wrote or I am studying or I studied? I know in the other examples after you said you can specify a time in the sentence so it becomes clear to know what tense it is referring to, but if a sentence doesn’t have this specified then what do you do? Once again, many thanks for these awesome videos, you explain things very well, I strongly believe you have one of the best (if not the best) channel for spoken arabic (عامية). Please keep up the solid content!

[@TopBoi93]

Honestly brother, I cannot emphasise enough how thorough your videos are! They’re extremely well explained, whenever I have a question about something you just said, you soon after address it (as if you read my mind lol). The level of attention to detail you deliver is un-matched! ما شاء الله عليك 👏🏽 👌🏽💯

[@TopBoi93]

Do you already have a video on the word اللي? The example you used أنا فاهم اللي انت بتقول. I’m finding it hard how to understand this word, it changes it’s meaning a lot it seems (based on my limited knowledge), it seems like a versatile word. If you have made one I’d be grateful if you could reply back with a link.

[@TopBoi93]

In your examples towards the end of the video you said للمطعم or للمطار etc to mean to the restaurant or to the airport, I thought in the shaami dialect you use على or ع to say “to the...”. Can you also you ل?

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

@@TopBoi93 Yes, and can use either

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

[@someone0014]

Im confused. Is active participle past tense or present tense? E.g at 11:08 it says "i wrote" but at 12:00 you say "Sarah wrote the email" but then you follow by saying "sarah writes the email". Then at 12:32 you say "writing" as in present continuous. And if it is already in the past tense, what is the point of the chart at 19:45? Thank you in advance

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

@@someone0014 most of these tenses and meanings are clear from the context (what and when talked about) but you can easily put it in the past tense by using كان This video is 1 out of 5 so I’d recommend to watch the rest to help you understand it more. Thanks

[@ivornworrell]

marHaba ustaadh Ibrahim, is the command verb ناولني (naawilne=Hand it to me) an active participle? I know that command Arabic verbs usually begin with the letter ت (ta), but this one begins with nuun, which I saw in another one of your videos. Please help wa Allah yeselmak.

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Command verbs - Do you mean imperative verbs? Imperative verbs differ from one to another and yes this verb is one of them and it is not an active participle

[@ivornworrell]

@@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic Thank you very much ustaadh, this really helps.

[@Ruddy761]

Your lessons are clearly the best on youtube. Thanks for all your time and effort. My question: how would I say "I am learning Arabic(language) using the active participle verb form of درس

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Thanks, you can use either the verb or the active participle. totally up to you!

[@snowman363]

Thanks für the video. They help a lot. One question, though: Until minute 19:35 you translate the verbs// active participle into past tense (e.g. flew, slept,...),. Then in minute 19:41 you go on and ask the question how to change the active participle into the past tense. That hardly makes sense to me. Could you explain that again, please? :)

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

You would use the normal active participle to refer to the present like ana raayeh lal-souk meaning “I’m going to the market. To put this sentence into the past you need to add “was/were “ before and done. So the sentence become” ana kenet raayeh lal-souk meaning I was going to the market = I want to the market. This is part one, there are 4 more tutorials to watch. Hope this helps

[@dearpluff]

Isn't there a little mistake in the blue conjugation list 13:50 on the studied section? I suspect the alif is in the wrong place

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Well spotted Marcus, Thanks for mentioning that. I will correct it in due course. Thanks

[@DavedSitt]

Thanks for this! There’s one underlying thing I am not getting… Isn’t the word عم followed by the imperfect tense what we use to describe an action happening right now? For example: أنا عم إحي I’m coming In other words, if I want to say that I am coming, do I say انا جاي or انا عم اجي

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Yes, عم is the prefix that refers to the present continuous. Some verbs would always refer to an ongoing action or something that would happen in the current time. like كاتب, راجع, رايح and you can always take them into the past by using كان See this link for more info kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqjaqq17mJ2oo5o Also, I have made 5 tutorials in total to help with the AP.

What is the difference between saying " أنا كتبت التقرير " and " أنا كاتب التقرير " I have only seen the former used to describe writing in the past tense. I have never seen the AP form of this verb used for the past tense. Just wondering what the difference is between the two?

Hii thank you for all your videos they are very helpful and i have a question, when someone is using the active participle how can i tell which tense they are using (past, present, future) if it means the same Thank you

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Mainly people use it to refer to the present tense. Otherwise, people would use adverbs for time to indicate the time. Thanks

A whole lesson as if I were in your classroom! Active participle well explained, useful words, sentences to practice. Great job! I'd love to see more like these. I'm a bit confused with the active participle of the verb "to travel". From "travel = سفر " I would come up with "travelling/traveller = سافر " but then you wrote مسافر. Where did I go wrong? Is this another form of the verb? Thank you so much for your time and dedication

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

Thanks, سافر doesn't have 3 letters so it doesn't go under the same rule. So it has to go under the higher letters rule, by adding "me" at the beginning and adding "e" vowel " the letter before the last. سفر = sfar noun (trip, travel) سافر safar is the verb مسافِر mesafer is the active participle مِسافَر mesafar is the passive (check a new video on this)

I learn MSA arabic and now I want to start also to learn jordanian dialect. Problem that is very difficult to learn both. What would you advice?

[@ArabicClearlyLevantineArabic]

How long have you been studying MSA? Dialect is easier as it has less grammar (spoken vs written) I’d focus on one at time and preferably spoken then move to MSA but it depends on what you are at and what you’re asked to do first. Let me know and I’m happy to help

Ahlan estaz, a great lesson shokran.How is the Active Participle negated, is it with ما ? Also, it seems as if the Idaafa Case is not applicable when using the Active Participle, so one would say رفيقي لاعب فوتبول as opposed to using the definite article "al" before the word football: رفيقي لاعب الفوتبول , am I correct? Shokran jazilan.

Yes, you would use "ma" to negate anything. Regarding the definite article, either is fine and both a correct
