Bahasa Arab Kelas XII Semester 1 | Qowaid FI'il Mabni Ma'lum dan Mabni Majhul

Introduction

This tutorial covers the principles of Qowaid Fi'il Mabni Ma'lum (active verbs) and Mabni Majhul (passive verbs) in Arabic, as discussed in the video from Farobiy. Understanding these concepts is essential for mastering Arabic grammar, particularly for students in the 12th grade. This guide will help you construct both active and passive sentences effectively.

Step 1: Understanding Fi'il Mabni Ma'lum

Fi'il Mabni Ma'lum refers to active verbs that indicate a clear subject performing an action. Here’s how to identify and use them:

• Definition: An active verb where the subject is known.
• Example: "Ali writes a letter" (Ali is the subject performing the action of writing).
• Structure: In Arabic, the structure typically follows the Subject-Verb-Object format.
• Common Usage:
  • Used in everyday conversation and writing.
  • Essential for clear communication.

Practical Tips

• Practice forming sentences using different subjects and verbs to become familiar with the structure.
• Pay attention to verb conjugations based on the subject's gender and number.

Step 2: Understanding Fi'il Mabni Majhul

Fi'il Mabni Majhul refers to passive verbs where the subject is either unknown or not emphasized. Here’s how to construct and use them:

• Definition: A passive verb where the doer of the action is either not mentioned or unimportant.
• Example: "A letter is written" (the focus is on the letter, not who wrote it).
• Structure: The sentence often follows a similar structure to active verbs but emphasizes the object.

Steps to Form Passive Verbs

1. Identify the active sentence: Start with a clear active sentence.
2. Remove the subject: Omit the doer of the action.
3. Change the verb form: Adjust the verb to its passive form, which may involve specific endings or prefixes in Arabic.

Common Pitfalls

• Ensure the verb is correctly transformed to reflect the passive voice; mistakes can lead to confusion.
• Remember that not all active verbs can be easily converted to passive.

Step 3: Practice with Examples

To solidify your understanding, practice with the following examples:

• Active: "The teacher explains the lesson."

  • Passive: "The lesson is explained (by the teacher)."

• Active: "They build a house."

  • Passive: "A house is built (by them)."

Real-World Application

• Use these structures in writing assignments or during conversations to enhance your fluency.
• Understanding these concepts will aid in comprehension of Arabic literature and spoken Arabic.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored the differences between Fi'il Mabni Ma'lum and Fi'il Mabni Majhul and discussed how to construct sentences using both types of verbs. Mastering these concepts will enhance your Arabic grammar skills and improve your communication abilities.
