The Key to Unlocking Arabic (ع ل م)

The reason why a majority of students seeking to learn Arabic -- even students who have learned several other languages successfully -- never break into the higher levels of in Arabic is because they approach Arabic just like they do other languages. This will not yield great results and usually ends in a lot of frustration for students.
Arabic has a uniquely engineered linguistic system and students must know it well to really move forward. This system is what we'll touch on today. Keep in mind that this is just a taste of what's coming. Let's go!

Very nice way to explain I'lm as sarf. The word عَلَم and علامة and عالم are related, so the interpretation : world is not the concept in arabic, but the things, the Signs, that our mind can grap (surah 2.31). Going further : the ع is the archetyp of the Perception, what a mind can grap by his senses, then comes etyma LM which is about what's occuring in this realm, the L beeing the archetyp of the Dedication, and the Mim, the matter. This is etymology of arabic language (and much more), and morphosemantic. Alif Lam Mim first, then and only then, A'in Lam Mim. :)

[@user-dw1jp7tp6i]

You have raised an issue that I've wanted discussion about for years that I can't find any scholarship on. THESE SEMITIC LANGUAGES ARE ENGINEERED. Carl Sagan pointed to it when asked what language it would be best to teach extraterrestrials to communicate with us and he said Hebrew. He didn't go into detail except, I forget the exact words he used, to point out the engineered structure. I think he also meant paleo hebrew because of pictures associated with letters and probably he would have included the numbers. All that being said, my question is HOW DOES SUCH A LANGUAGE ORIGINATE? It obviously couldn't and didn't "evolve" (perhaps Sagan thought it "given" to the Akkadians by ET). At best I can only imagine the creation of a secret code engineered for military or religious purposes, but how does that become standard? It seems it would require some king to decree "everyone will now learn and speak only this new language we have created under pain of death". But why? To create a "holy language" based on interrelated numeric, geometric, and symbolic patterns? If you are aware of any books or papers about this I would like to know. I think Sanskrit is also very old, does appear engineered?

[@CGEJordan]

This is a very deep and difficult question to answer. You have some good insights. We don't delve too much into the origins, but our director believes that Sumerian and Akkadian (the source languages for all Semitic languages) might very well be the original language spoken by the earliest humans, even to Adam and Eve. The biblical story of the Tower of Babel (the word itself is Semitic and means "the gate of God") gives a possible explanation to the birth of other diverse and unique languages, proto Sanskrit possibility being one of these. On a side note, it is very interesting that ancient civilizations all over the world seem to have a universal collective memory that drove them to build the thousands of pyramids and ziggurats found on virtually every continent with a priestly sacrificial system also in place.

[@janetgillespie6590]

In the Bible it says that the earth all spoke one language because it originated with one human pair. Later it says that God confused the language when the people built the Tower of Babel, because God said if they built this, would anything be too much for them. Would be interested to know how this works with the Moslem teaching.

[@adralia23]

I'm now learning Quran. Please elaborate more about عالم ("aalam) "world". I know here you explain the noun, the ism, but what is the madhi (past tense) of it, and what would that madhi mean? These different madhis that came from 1 root, are classified in a system called wazan. Please elaborate how from the root letter علم (he knew), when put into the wazan فاعل --> therefore عالم (madhi form), then it is now somehow mean "world"? I know you did explain this, but you were referring to the noun, not the madhi. I want to hear the explanation from the madhi form. And so, what does the wazan فاعل usually do to a root word? Can you give me other examples from this wazan? And lastly, perhaps you're not a mufasir, but can you explain what possible meaning these phrase can have : ربّ العالمين (rabbul-'aalamiin) Does the use of this specific word عالمين here could also hint that the Rabb is also all knowledgeable from all things in all universes? I mean, if it were just to show "the Rabb of all worlds" would there be other phrases in Arabic that can express that instead of ربّ العالمين ? Thanks a lot in advance 🙏🏻

[@CGEJordan]

The word عالَم is actually a rare noun form emanating from the Form 1 verb while the verb عالَم is a Form 3 verb. In MSA, the verb appears as عالَمَ with a fatHa over the meem, but in Spoken Arabic, we do not pronounce the last fatHa, so that is why we didn't write it on the board. The "tendency of meaning" for the 3rd wazan فاعل (Form 3 verbs) is "one-sided action." Some examples are ساعَد / حارَب / شارَك / عاوَن . ربّ العالَمِين indicates the idea that God is the creator of the entire universe and controls all things therein. The proper plural form of the noun عالَم is عَوالِم . The plural form In the Qur'an عالَمِين is particularly strange as this type of plural is only used as a human plural. It is likely that is was used for poetic reasons, but it's difficult to know.

[@MahirDar-lp7zv]

What about the root letters put together without the Tashkeel? What is the meaning of it? Thank you,

[@CGEJordan]

Every root has at least one root essence meaning, but it is not used without the tashkeel. A root without tashkeel is like a building without doors, windows, or furniture--it's not livable. The tashkeel make the roots come alive. The root essence meaning of his particular root is "scientific knowledge" or "knowing facts."

[@hannalhin]

Just tried doing this with a different root but I have a tough time thinking of a logical way to formulate different root patterns. Any advice on how to go about this?

[@alielbaitam]

This is a very confusing and totally wrong way to teach Arabic. Ignore it. All these words are totally unrelated. It mixes nouns with verbs. The right use for the root is to get all the other verbs from that root.

[@CGEJordan]

If you have Fridrik's book, The 101 Most Used Verbs in Spoken Arabic: Jordan & Palestine, you can read the introduction and find the tendency of meanings for each of the Ten Forms with example sentences that help. In the future, Fridrik may make his Ten Forms seminar available through our website. This is a four to five hour seminar going into detail about the Ten Verb Forms and the how the system works. Everything is connected and related. Don't listen to anyone's opinion who says otherwise. We will add more videos like these so that you can see how the system works. It is indeed systematic and predictable.

[@lingo980]

Of course the root concerns Both verbs and nouns. Not just verbs, from the 10 form verbs come different nouns and adjectives.

عِلْم means science

[@sirtree9080]

science (n.) mid-14c., "state or fact of knowing; what is known, knowledge (of something) acquired by study; information;" also "assurance of knowledge, certitude, certainty," from Old French science "knowledge, learning, application; corpus of human knowledge" (12c.), from Latin scientia "knowledge, a knowing; expertness," from sciens (genitive scientis) "intelligent, skilled," present participle of scire "to know." The original notion in the Latin verb probably is "to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," or else "to incise." This is related to scindere "to cut, divide" (from PIE root *skei- "to cut, split;" source also of Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave," Gothic skaidan, Old English sceadan "to divide, separate"). OED writes that the oldest English sense of the word now is restricted to theology and philosophy. From late 14c. in English as "book-learning," also "a particular branch of knowledge or of learning, systematized knowledge regarding a particular group of objects;" also "skillfulness, cleverness; craftiness." From c. 1400 as "experiential knowledge;" also "a skill resulting from training, handicraft; a trade." From late 14c. in the more specific sense of "collective human knowledge," especially that gained by systematic observation, experiment, and reasoning. The modern (restricted) sense of "body of regular or methodical observations or propositions concerning a particular subject or speculation" is attested by 1725; in 17c.-18c. this commonly was philosophy. The sense of "non-arts studies" is attested from 1670s. The distinction is commonly understood as between theoretical truth (Greek epistemē) and methods for effecting practical results (tekhnē), but science sometimes is used for practical applications and art for applications of skill. The predominant modern use, "natural and physical science," generally restricted to study of the phenomena of the material universe and its laws, is by mid-19c.
