Singular Feminine Words

By ArabicTree | July 28, 2007

The following are some very commonly-used words in Arabic. Note that they are all singular and feminine. (To prevent confusion, the final letter will have tanween dumma on it.)

Also, note the pattern: singular feminine words in Arabic end with ta-marbuwta (ة), though there are a few exceptions. Ta-Marbuwta is pronounced as a ha when you stop on it (eg. darraajah), or a ta if there’s a vowel on it (eg. al-darraajatu …).

darraajatun (دَرَّاجَةُ): bicycle
mil’aqatun (مِلعَقَةٌ): spoon
baqaratun (بَقَرَةٌ): cow
baydatun (بَيضَةٌ): egg
naafidhatun (نَافِذَةٌ): window
saa’atun (سَاعَةٌ): watch
sayaaratun (سَيَارَةٌ): car
dajaajatun (دَجَاجَةٌ): hen
madrasatun (مَدرَسَةٌ): school
hadiyqatun (حَدِيقَةٌ): garden
