| Grammar Notes: 1. تُظهر (tuẓhir): This is the verb in the present tense, meaning "shows" or "displays". It is derived from the root ظ-ه-ر (ẓ-h-r), with the infinitive form being "to show" (أظهر, aẓhara). The verb is in the third person feminine singular, matching "the picture" (الصورة) which is considered feminine in Arabic. 2. هذه (hādhihi): This is a demonstrative pronoun meaning "this". It is feminine, agreeing in gender with "the picture" (الصورة). 3. الصورة (aṣ-ṣūrah): This is a noun meaning "the picture". It is feminine, as indicated by the -ة ending, and is the subject of the verb "shows". 4. رجلاً (rajulan): This is a noun in the accusative case meaning "a man". It is indefinite and is one of the objects being shown in the picture. 5. و (wa): This is the conjunction "and", used to connect nouns in a list. 6. طفلاً (ṭiflan): This is a noun in the accusative case meaning "a child". It is indefinite and is another object being shown in the picture. 7. صغيراً (ṣaghīran): This is an adjective in the accusative case meaning "small" or "young". It modifies "child" (طفلاً), agreeing in case and indefiniteness. 8. يجلسان (yajlisān): This is the verb in the present tense, meaning "are sitting". It is derived from the root ج-ل-س (j-l-s), with the infinitive form being "to sit" (جلس, jalasa). This verb is in the dual form, indicating it refers to two subjects (the man and the child). 9. على (ʿalā): This is a preposition meaning "on". 10. سرير (sirīr): This is a noun meaning "bed". It follows the preposition "on" (على), thus is in the genitive case due to the prepositional phrase. 11. ويقرآن (wayaqraʾān): This is the verb in the present tense, meaning "are reading". It is derived from the root ق-ر-ء (q-r-ʾ), with the infinitive form being "to read" (قرأ, qaraʾa). Like "يجلسان", this verb is in the dual form and refers to the same two subjects. 12. كتاباً (kitāban): This is a noun in the accusative case meaning "a book". It is indefinite and is the object of the verb "are reading". 13. معاً (maʿan): This is an adverb meaning "together", indicating that the action is performed by the two subjects in unison. The sentence translates to: "This picture shows a man and a small child sitting on a bed and reading a book together." Each part of the sentence contributes to the overall meaning, with the verbs and nouns agreeing in gender, number, and case as required by Arabic grammar. |
