Arabic examples
- In Arabic grammar, the verbal noun is used as Masdar ( Arabic مصدر) designated. Example: كتابة kitābatun "the writing". Verbal nouns can be used in the sentence instead of a conjugated verb and are more common in written than spoken Arabic. The meaning of the sentence remains the same:
E.g.:
- .أريد الكتابة - urīdu l-kitāba (ta). - I want to write.
- .أريد أن أكتب - urīdu ʾan aktuba. - I want to write.
The formation of verbal nouns is based on a fixed scheme, down to the basic stem. H. For the stems II - X there are certain patterns according to which the respective verbal noun (with a few exceptions) can be derived:
- II. Tribe tafʿīl تفعيل
- III. Tribe mufāʿala / fiʿāl فعال / مفاعلة
- IV. Tribe ifʿāl إفعال
- V. tribe tafaʿʿul تفعل
- VI. Tribe tafāʿul تفاعل
- VII. Tribe infiʿāl انفعال
- VIII. Tribe iftiʿal افتعال
- IX. Stem ifʿilāl افعلال
- X. tribe istifʿāl استفعال
