Question

5 example of musculin plurals in Arabic grammar​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In Arabic, we indicate that there is only one of something by using the singular form of the noun. Similarly, we indicate that there is two of something by using the dual form. The chart below gives a simple example.

(Male) Student

One Student

Two Students

ط، ل، ب on the pattern فاعِل

طالِب

طالبانِ

Now plurality is where the discussion becomes more interesting.

In Arabic, plurals can be sound or broken. Sound plurals /jamʿ sālim/ are created simply by adding a suffix to the singular form (ـوْنَ or ـيْنَ for the masculine and ـاتٌ for the feminine), whereas broken plurals /jamʿ taksīr/ change the internal structure of the singular (ergo the term ‘broken’).
