Learn Arabic with Me: Lesson 11277

Welcome back to our Arabic language learning journey! In this lesson, we're going to delve into some advanced grammar concepts and vocabulary to expand your Arabic proficiency.

Noun Cases

Arabic has three noun cases: nominative, genitive, and accusative. The noun case indicates the grammatical function of the noun within a sentence.
Nominative: Subject of a sentence (e.g., "The boy is running")
Genitive: Possession or relation (e.g., "The boy's book")
Accusative: Direct object of a verb (e.g., "I saw the boy")

The noun case is usually determined by the preposition or article preceding the noun.
