(Bayet)

House.

مَسْجِد (MasjId)

Masjid, and you can pick out the word “Sajdah” from it, a place in which
sujood is done!. A central majsId would be called جَامِع. The word
‏جَامِع(Collector) Is connected to words like and مُجَمّع (Gatherer) etc.

باب(bab)

Door, but it can also be used in the following manner, “The bab of Zakah in
Sahih Al Bukhari” which would mean, the section of zakah, or the chapter of
zakah. The door is always in front of the house, like wise in Arabic you can
use it to name a category or a chapter or a section.

كِتَاب (Kitab)

Book, It Is connected to the word كِتَابَة Ketaba (writing) hence a book has writing In It therefore It Is a KItab!

قَلَم (Qalam)

Pen, pencil, or any writing tool.

مِفْتَاح (Miftah)

Key , It Is connected to words Like Fataha (opened), Fat-h (Conquest or
opening of a city, hence Fat-h Makkah)

‏لا (La) - No

Very Important, don't forget It.

مَا (Ma) – What?

So If you want to say, "what Is thIs" you would say ....think about It... "Ma Hatha?"

مَكْتَب (Maktab) - Desk.

connected to words like Kitab (Book) and the word Kitabha (writing), Katabah (he wrote) and so all the words are connected together.

سَرِير (Sareer) – Bed

نَجْم, (Najm) - Star

مَنْ (Mann)

who; whom; whosoever, whoever; he who‏. And It Is only used when referring to a person or people

مَا (Ma)

It basically means "what" and It Is used Instead of "Mann" when we are asking about anything but humans beings. The word Ma has a verity of uses depending on the word before it and after It, however we will just focus about the situation where Ma comes before Hatha. Which means, what Is this?

‏طَبِيب (Tabib)

physician, MD, doctor‏. It comes from the word طب/ which means what the doctor studies to become a doctor.

وَلَد (Walad)

Which basically means boy, there are other words like Fata and Sabi. Each word is different but generally they mean the same thing. The word وَلَد, Is connected to the word مَوْلِد (mawlid) which means birth or the time of birth.



طَالِب (Talib)

Which means Students, It Is connected to the verb طَلَبَ (which means to ask). Hence a student, Is someone who is asking for knowledge.

رَجُل (Rajul)

which means Man

قِطّ (Qet)

This means cat, there are other words like Bis, and Hir (male cat) and Hirrah (female cat) which are more descriptive, however Qet will do.

كَلْبٌ (Kalb)

this means Dog.

‏حِمَار (Hemar)

Donkey

‏حِصَان ( Hesan)

Horse. There are many words that can be used to describe a horse like Khail, Faras etc.

Just a note, you need to give some verbs to work with.

Just a small note:D

Bilal

Not necessary to say 'yom = day':

As Sabt = Saturday
Al Ahad = Sunday
Al Ethnain = Monday

Al Thalatha = Tuesday
Al Arbe3a = Wednesday
Al Khamis = Thursday
Al Juma3ah = Friday

You can pronounce 3 as ‘‘a’’, in case you can not say the original sound.

Al = the

There are two kinds, one of them is written without pouncing (Al Ash shamsiah = Al of the sun), while the other is should be written and pronounced (AL Alqamariah = Al of the moon), for example:

Al sabt (Saturday) , is written as Al Sabt , but it pronounced as : As Sabt … (Al of the sun)
Al Ahad (Sunday) = is written as Al Ahad and pronounced also as AL Ahad….(Al of the moon)
