هٰذَا / هٰذِهِ and the dual

أَسْمَاءُ الإِشَارَةِ وَصِيغَةُ المُثَنَّى

The lesson-plan grammar focus is choosing the correct demonstrative for the grammatical gender of a body part and using the dual form for paired body parts.

1Meaning

What does the structure communicate?

2Form

Which word or ending changes?

3Agreement

What must match the noun or person?

4Transfer

Can you use it with new vocabulary?

هٰذَا رَأْسِي، وَهٰذِهِ يَدِي.

This is my head, and this is my hand.

Choose the demonstrative according to noun gender.

لِي عَيْنَانِ وَأُذُنَانِ.

I have two eyes and two ears.

The dual ending -انِ signals two in this form.

نَرَى بِأَعْيُنِنَا، وَنَسْمَعُ بِآذَانِنَا.

We see with our eyes and hear with our ears.

بِـ can express the body part used.

القَلْبُ فِي الصَّدْرِ، وَالمَعِدَةُ فِي البَطْنِ.

The heart is in the chest, and the stomach is in the abdomen.

Use فِي to locate internal organs.

Use هٰذَا with masculine nouns

هٰذَا + اسْمٌ مُذَكَّرٌ

Use هٰذَا with masculine body-part nouns.

هٰذَا رَأْسِي.هٰذَا أَنْفِي.هٰذَا فَمِي.

Use هٰذِهِ with feminine nouns

هٰذِهِ + اسْمٌ مُؤَنَّثٌ

Some body-part nouns are grammatically feminine even without ـة.

هٰذِهِ يَدِي.هٰذِهِ عَيْنِي.هٰذِهِ أُذُنِي.

Form the dual

ـَانِ (subject) · ـَيْنِ (other positions)

Paired body parts often use the dual rather than the number اثنان.

لِي عَيْنَانِ.أَغْسِلُ يَدَيْنِ.أَرَى بِعَيْنَيْنِ.

Add the possessive ending

اسْمُ الجِسْمِ + ـِي

The ending ـي means “my”.

رَأْسِييَدِيعَيْنَايَ

Body part	Gender	Demonstrative / dual
رَأْسٌ	مُذَكَّرٌ	هٰذَا رَأْسِي.
يَدٌ	مُؤَنَّثٌ	هٰذِهِ يَدِي.
عَيْنٌ	مُؤَنَّثٌ	لِي عَيْنَانِ.
أُذُنٌ	مُؤَنَّثٌ	لِي أُذُنَانِ.

Some body nouns do not have the gender students may expect. Learn the word together with a demonstrative or adjective: هٰذِهِ يَدٌ، هٰذِهِ عَيْنٌ، هٰذَا رَأْسٌ.

Dual forms are introduced for recognition and useful paired nouns. The core goal is communication, not a complete dual-case paradigm.

Accuracy repair workshop

Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.

هٰذَا يَدِي.

هٰذِهِ يَدِي.

يَدٌ is grammatically feminine.

عِنْدِي اثْنَانِ عَيْنٌ.

لِي عَيْنَانِ.

Use the dual noun form for two eyes.

نَسْمَعُ بِالعَيْنِ.

نَسْمَعُ بِالأُذُنِ.

Hearing is associated with the ear; the correction also reinforces the correct noun.
