🔹 Task Description
The instruction says:
>
"Trace and write the sentences below."
The sentence to practice is:
هَذَا وَلَدٌ.
*Transliteration:* Haðā waladun.
*Translation:* "This is a boy."
---
🔹 Breakdown of the Sentence
Let’s analyze the Arabic sentence:
-
هَذَا (Haðā) – means "this" (masculine singular).
- The word starts with
حَ (hāʾ), but here it's written as
هَ (hāʾ) because it's pronounced like "ha" in this context.
- It has a
fatha (َ) on the first letter and
damma (ُ) on the last letter (but actually, the final letter is
ا, so it's just
هَذَا).
- The
د (dāl) has a
sukūn (ْ) above it — no vowel.
- The
ا (alif) at the end is silent and acts as a noun marker.
-
وَلَدٌ (waladun) – means "a boy" (masculine singular noun).
-
وَ (waw) – pronounced "wa", connects to the next word.
-
لَ (lām) – with
fatha.
-
دٌ (dāl + damma) – the
damma indicates that the word ends with a long
u sound, and the
tanwīn (ـٌ) marks it as indefinite.
So,
هَذَا وَلَدٌ = "This is a boy."
