Plural : Masculine plurals
Forming plurals is not difficult at all. The rule is to add the letters
و ن (oona) or ن ي (eena)
S P
مُسْلِمُوْنَ _ مُسْلِم ( Muslimoona). مُسْلِميْنَ. (Muslimeena)
مُومِنُوْنَ _ مُوءْمِن ( momenoona). مُوءْمِنِيْنَ (Mommeneena)
صَابِرُوْنَ _ صاَبِر ( saberoona) صاَبِرِيْنَ ( sabereena)
The above examples were simple masculine plurals , adding some words at the end makes it plural, e.g cat _ cats, Boy _ boys etc
Complex masculine plural is not adding or removing any letter to make it, it is a completely new word . e.g child - children, Man - Men etc
بيت _ بُىُت
كتاب _ كُتُب
There are 3 kinds of plural in Arabic Language which are :
1. Simple Masculine Plural _ add ين or ون
2. Feminine plural _ add the suffix ات
3. Complex masculine plural _ structure of word changes E.g قلم _ اقللام (Pen _ Pens )
مسلمة _ مسلمات ( remove ة and add ات )
complex plurals have not set rule and need memorising.
