Yep I've got so much spare time in my hands to do another post. Thank God that it's the end of the year! XD
Lets......
![](https://www.bhlingual.com/images/640x36 ... arabic.jpg)
So today we'll be doing the genitive case also known in Arabic as المجرور al-majruur.
This case is marked by a kasra which is a little line underneath the letter which looks like this:
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... -Kasra.png)
This case is used in 3 circumstances.
1- The object of a preposition
إلى اليمين (ila l-yamiini) to the right
في المكتبةِ0 (fi l-maktabati) in the library
2- ظرف مكان وظرف زمان - the object of a locative adverb
تحتَ نورِ الشمسِ (taHta nuuri sh-shamsi) under the sunlight (lit. light of the sun)
قبلَ أيامٍ (qabla ayyaamin) [a few] days ago (lit. before days) - Note the nunation of the indefinite noun أيام.\
3- المضاف اليه - the second term of an iDaafah
NB: IDaafah is a grammatical structure, mostly used to indicate possession. IDaafah basically entails putting one noun after another: the second noun specifies more precisely the nature of the first noun.
مديرُ المؤسسةِ (mudiiru l-mu'assasati) the foundation's director (or \"the director of the foundation\")
غرفة التجارةِ (ghurfatu t-tijaarati)\nthe chamber of commerce
Next time we'll be doing the accusative case and trust me that'll be much longer. ^-^
For now................
