Lesson 7 – الدَّرْسُ السَّابِعُ

Introduction - مُقَدِّمَةٌ

• In this lesson we will learn the following:
• The  noun  تِلْكَ which means "That" and is used for the feminine nouns. This noun is called a demonstrative pronoun in English Grammar and اِسْمُ إِشَارَةٍ in Arabic Grammar. Tilka is used to refer to objects that are further away in the same way as Hādhihī is used to refer to closer objects representing the feminine nouns. e.g.,  

English:	Transliteration:	Arabic:
That is a lady teacher	Tilka Mudarrisatun	تِلْكَ مُدَرِّسَةٌ.
That is a bag	Tilka ħaqībatun	تِلْكَ حَقِيبَةٌ.

• When a definite article "al" precedes a solar letter (the letters with which lam of the definite article "al" is not pronounced), the letter lam of "al" is dropped and its assimilation is shown by a diacritical mark ' ' which is known as "Shaddah" e.g.,

Translation	Transliteration	Arabic
A doctor	ŧabībun	طَبِيبٌ	Indefinite Noun
The doctor	Aŧ-ŧabību	الطَّبِيبُ	Definite Noun
A fish	Samakun	سَمَكٌ	Indefinite Noun
The fish	As-samaku	السَّمَكُ	Definite Noun

That is… - تِلْكَ

• In this part of Lesson No. 7 we will learn another pronoun تلِْكَ (which means “that”) – Tilka is used for the feminine nouns.  Tilka follows the same principles as followed by Dhālika and is used to refer to objects that are further away whereas hādhihi (“this” in feminine form) is used to refer to objects that are closer. 
• The demonstrative pronouns are called أَسْمَاءُ الإِشَارَةِ in Arabic language and have two types:
• The pronouns which refer to the near objects like هَـٰذَا and هَـٰذِهِ meaning (this for masculine and feminine respectively) are called أَسْمَاءُ الإِشَارَةِ الْقَرِيبَةِ and
• The pronouns which refer to the distant objects like ذَلِكَ and تِلْكَ meaning (that for masculine and feminine respectively) are called أَسْمَاءُ الإِشَارَةِ الْبَعِيدَةِ.
