What is a definite noun with the alif-lām? What is a prefixed noun? A conjunction denotes something specified by the sentence that follows it. That sentence is called an attributive conjunctional clause. The following are conjunctions: • Masculine: 1. الّذی (single) 2. اللّذانِ اللّذَینِ (dual) 3. اللّذِینَ (plural) • Feminine: 1.
الّتی (single) 2. اللّتانِ اللّّتَینِ (dual) 3. اللّواتی اللاتی اللائی (plural) A definite noun with the alif-lām is any noun where an alif and lām is added to make it definite. For example: السَیف (the sword), القَلَم (the pen) A prefixed noun is a noun that is constructed to a definite noun. For example: کِتابی (my book), کتابُ ﺇبراهیمَ (Ibrāhīm's book), کتابُ المُعَلّم (the teacher's book) Previous Next
