Fiil or Verb

In Arabic, Fi'il is a verb that is divided into three, namely: fi'il madhi, fi'il mudhari', and fi'il amar. The three divisions have differences in the time at which the activity is carried out. Here is the explanation:

Fi'il Madhi

A verb that indicates the past or has been done. Example:

⁇ Kataba

"(He) has written"

Signs :

A sign of fi'il madhi is the inclusion of Ta' Fa'il (the letter ta' denoting the subject/doer), for example:

⁇ Katabtu

"I've written"

⁇ Katabta

"You (man) have written"

⁇ Katabti

"You (woman) have written"

The sign fi'il madhi also includes Ta' Ta'nits Sakinah (the letter ta' which indicates the meaning of women and the value of breadfruit), for example:

⁇ Kathate

"She (woman) has written"

Fi'il Mudhari's'

Verbs that indicate the time being or will be done. Example:

yaktubu

"He (male) is/will be writing"

Signs of fi'il mudhari':

The easiest fi'il mudhari' sign to find is beginning with the letter ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇

commonly abbreviated with ⁇ (read: aniita) to be easy to remember.The following details:

- insert the prefix hamza:

⁇ Aktubu

"I am/will be writing"

- enter the prefix nun:

⁇ Naktubu

"We are/we will write"

- enter the prefix yes:

yaktubu

"He (male) is/will be writing"

n>

⁇ thrush Yaktubaani

"They both (male/female) are/will be writing"

yaktubuuna

"They (men) are/will be writing"

yaktubna

"They (women) are/will be writing"

- insert prefix letter ta:

⁇ Taktubu

⁇ taktubaani

"You two (male/female) are/will be writing"

taktubuuna

"You guys (men) are/will be writing"

tactubiina

taktubuuna

"You guys (women) are/will be writing"

The second fi'il mudhari' sign is certain to include letters:

    س، سَوْفَ، لَنْ، أَنْ، إِنْ، لَمْ، مَا، ل

- Admission ⁇ (kalimah ⁇ itself only has meaning if combined with fi'il mudhari', which means is 'will/after a while/in a short period of time will'). let's see for example:

سَــأَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ

"I'm (in a short time) going to school"

- Admission ⁇ (kalimah ⁇ also only has meaning when combined with fi'il mudhari', which means 'will/will' but in a very long period of time and can not be determined when the time, the opposite of ⁇ ), for example:

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى

"and that effort will be shown (to him)."

- Entry of ⁇ (has the meaning of 'will not', this word also only goes to fi'il mudhari'), for example:

لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ

"You shall not have the virtue (of being perfect), before you have given away a part of the treasure you love."

- Admission ⁇ (this term makes the fi'il 'verb' afterwards has a charity such as isim 'noun' then it can be mubtada, khobar, or any position commonly occupied by isim, it can be mubtada, because if fi'il has been entered ⁇ then he is called 'madsar mu'awwal', insyaAllah I will explain in different posts to be more detailed), for example: 

وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

"And fasting is better for you if you know".

- Admission ⁇ (this term means 'if', in nahwu science it is called ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 'kalimah ⁇ which contains a condition sentence' for example 'if ....., then ...').

أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ

"O you who believe, if you help (Religion) Allah, Allah will help you"

- Entry of ⁇ (Lam is a letter word that means 'yet' ) example:

لَمْ أَذْهَبْ إِلَى السُوْقِ

"I haven't gone to the market yet"

- Entry of ⁇ Kitwick ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ithr.) (Maa Nafii is a word that serves to change the positive sentence to negative, which means 'No'), for example:

وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا

"And no one can know (with certainty) what he will do tomorrow".

- Enter ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 'totally/amply' ), for example:

قَالَ إِنِّي لَــيَخْزُنُنِي أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا بِهِ

Prophet Ya’qub said: “Verily your departure with Joseph really grieves me"

Fi'il Amar

A verb that intends to rule or beg someone to do something.example:

⁇ Uktub

"Write"

The mark is worthy of inclusion ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ (Nun taukid is the letter nun that serves to exaggerate a word), for example:

uktubanna

"Really write"

Such is the explanation of the notions and signs of Fi'il Madhi, Fi'il Mudhari', and Fi'il Amar. Hopefully it can be useful and become a material for us how vast the Arabic language if we are in earnest.
