Intermediate Arabic

Diving straight in, we’ll look at the two different types of nouns – rational and irrational – and the difference between them, and two types of verbs – transitive and intransitive – along with the sound and defective verbs.

We’ll explore the adjective clause, how to express ownership, the different subordinating conjunctions that are used in Arabic to tie sentences and phrases together, and the different coordinating conjunctions and how to apply them in a sentence.

You’ll learn about the use of active and passive language – delving deeper into the active participle and the proagent and its relationship to passive voice. The course also introduces two groups of annullers – the incomplete verb of “Kana” and its sisters, and the particle of “Inna” and its sisters – and their effects on nominal sentence deflection.

Finally, we’ll explore vocative and exclamation styles, and discuss the diptotes and the basic cases of Arabic declension.
