An Intermediate Dictionary of Verb Conjugation
(El-Dahdah Encyclopedia Of Arabic Grammar)
From El-Dahdah Encyclopedia of Arabic Grammer, intermediate Verb Conjugation. Arabic-Arabic
This is an intermediate dictionary of verb conjugations giving the reader different conjugations for different verbs. Hundreds of verbs are fully conjugated.
The book displays the conjugation of the mudhaari’ and maadhi ma’loom, mudhaari’ and maadhi majhool, and the amr for each ‘mutakallam’ being addressed. This goes for all different types of verbs: naaqis, mithaal, ajwaf, muda’’if’, etc.
This book of verb conjugations is completely in arabic.
**********
Practicing sarf (morphology) is a very important aspect of learning Arabic that I’ve noticed many neglect early on. It requires a degree of time, practice, memorisation and revision. Alhamdulillâh, while for some I may have jumped the gun, one of my first and most important
purchases when I took my Arabic
studies seriously was a dictionary called, “A Dictionary of Arabic Verb Conjugation” (معجم تصريف الأفعال العربية) by Ambassador Antoine El-Dahdah and reviewed by Dr. Georges M. Abdul-Massih. I now recommend this dictionary to pretty much everyone who is learning Arabic.
The dictionary has two rather popular smaller
sisters, “A Pocket Dictionary of Verb Conjugation” and “An Intermediate Dictionary of Verb Conjugation”. The name of the latter is rather misleading as there is nothing ‘intermediate’ about this edition except it’s size. It’s larger than the pocket but smaller than the standard. The name seems more like a bad translation or choice of words; it has nothing to do with content.
The dictionary is basically a reference utility for checking how to conjugate any given fi`l (verb). However, this is by no means a meaty dictionary that contains a conjugation table for pretty much every verb. Instead it contains select examples (using common words) which represent each verb conjugation pattern or wazn, to which you plug-in the verb you’re having difficulties with. Each pattern is given it’s own unique number for easy identification.
To make matters easy, an alphabetical listing/index is provided which boasts over 15,000 verbs. So if you’re unsure as to which wazn a verb should follow it can be looked up and easily identified. The standard edition contains an extra index (as well as more examples and other useful tables) which orders verbs according to their patterns, a tool which I found very helpful early on. Overtime, I’ve noticed that the latter index is more useful for sahîh verbs and the former for those that are mu`tall. This is only the case if you’ve memorised each pattern since it speeds things up. As a student of the Arabic language you should have these memorised anyway.
There are some extras included, such as a list of some of the more rare/unique verbs, listings pertaining to the i`râb and binâ’ (the i`râb tables are omitted in the non-standard editions) of verbs and tables which show their tasrif. It would be useful if the pocket and intermediate editions contained the same extras as the standard, as its larger size is rather impractical in a class-room environment. Speaking of the class-room, my teachers would at times consult my copy for the really tricky and rare verbs.
As a final note, if you’re under the impression that the dictionary is too advanced for you given the features I’ve mentioned, then you’re probably wrong. The basic function of the dictionary is useful at any level really. The rest falls in place as you learn. In a strange way, this book felt more like a piece of software than a book. The more you use it and learn, the quicker you can work things out and accomplish your tasks, which in this case is conjugation
