    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 …).

    1. darraajatun (دَرَّاجَةُ): bicycle
    2. mil’aqatun (مِلعَقَةٌ): spoon
    3. baqaratun (بَقَرَةٌ): cow
    4. baydatun (بَيضَةٌ): egg
    5. naafidhatun (نَافِذَةٌ): window
    6. saa’atun (سَاعَةٌ): watch
    7. sayaaratun (سَيَارَةٌ): car
    8. dajaajatun (دَجَاجَةٌ): hen
    9. madrasatun (مَدرَسَةٌ): school
    10. hadiyqatun (حَدِيقَةٌ): garden
