First, let's take a look at how to form compound nouns in Arabic. There are three ways to do this:
- Combining two nouns: This is the most common way of forming compound nouns. The two nouns are placed together and often the first noun acts as an adjective to describe the second noun. For example:
Standard Arabic | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
باب البيت | bāb al-bayt | door of the house |
سيارة الشرطة | sayyārah al-shurṭah | police car |
أمين الصندوق | amīn al-ṣandūq | treasurer |
- Combining a noun and an adjective: This is another common way to form compound nouns. Unlike the first method, the adjective comes before the noun it describes. For example:
Standard Arabic | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
ابن البيت الكبير | ibn al-bayt al-kabīr | son of the big house |
مدير المدرسة الثانوية | mudīr al-madrasah al-thānawīyah | high school principal |
- Combining three or more nouns: Arabic allows for more than two nouns to be combined into a single compound noun. For example:
Standard Arabic | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
طائرة الخطوط الجوية السعودية | ṭā’irah al-kuṭūṭ al-jawwīyah al-su‘ūdīyah | Saudi Arabian Airlines plane |
قانون العمل الدولي | qānūn al-‘amal al-dawlī | international labor law |
- Combining two verbs: Although this is less common, it is still possible to form compound nouns from two verbs in Arabic. One verb acts as the subject while the other acts as the object. The subject verb comes first while the object verb comes second.
