بَيۡتٍ۬

Feminie or masculine word for house??---notice it ends with bayt--IN


Is it plural or singular??

may god bless you

[Umm]

wa alaikum salaam
Baytun is masculine singular (mufrad). It means "a house" and is indefinite.
Baytin is used for example when one of the prepositions is used in front of it
e.g. In a house = fee baytin

I'm at a basic level myself, so hope the explanation makes sense.

The plural of house is buyootun. بُيُوت

That make sense sister may the God be kind to you....would you know if there is a feminine word for house???

also the last word i am stuck on for today is


وُضِعَ


what does that mean....is it similar to the word DUWAH......it is hard for me to make complete sense of it right know

does any one konw???

[Umm]

house is masculine, never feminine.



وُضِعَ means he placed/put, as far as I know.

From the vowel placement it appears to be 2nd person singular masculine passive perfect- "he/it will be placed"

The vowel sequence u-i-a indicates the passive voice and the subject in arabic or 'actor' is omitted, though this rule is broken in modern Arabic.

Keep studying and may Allah, Exalted is He, help the Muslims return to and understand Arabic.

Barakallahu feek for the reply
You are right about the passive form, however it is said in the past not in the future so I believe it should mean : " he/it have been placed"

Wallahu a'lam

Yes ma'am, perfect= past tense (sorry about that)

And to add: 'have' would be for plural 'has' is for singular

"And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged. (39:69)" (Dr Mohsin)


وَأَشۡرَقَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّہَا وَوُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ وَجِاْىٓءَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلشُّہَدَآءِ وَقُضِىَ بَيۡنَہُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ (٦٩)
