Arabic Verbs Conjugation

Arabic is a beautiful and complex language that is widely spoken and written throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.

One of the fundamental aspects of the Arabic language is its verb conjugation system, which is highly regular.

 Understanding how to conjugate Arabic verbs is essential for anyone looking to learn the language and communicate effectively with native speakers.

Arabic verbs are conjugated based on the tense, mood, voice, person, and number of the subject. There are three main types of verbs in Arabic: past, present, and future. Each type of verb has its own set of rules for conjugation, and there are also irregular verbs that must be memorized separately.

In this blog, we explore the basics of Arabic verb conjugation, focusing on present tense verbs.

Some rules that must be followed in the conjugation of Arabic verbs:

• All verbs must be conjugated according to their subject(I, You, etc.):

I like to live in Amman                        =          Ohib an Askun fee 3amman

You (m) like to live in Amman            =          Tohib an Taskun fee 3amman

• To make the negation of a verb, we simply add the word (La = No) before the verb:

  I want = Oreed                       =          I don’t want = La Oreed

I work = A3mal                        =          I don’t work = La a3mal

• Between two verbs we add the word (an):

I want to live in Jordan            =          Oreed an Aaskun fee Al-Ordon
