Grammar and collocations of the digital world

Study each structure in context, compare accurate and inaccurate forms, then apply it in meaningful Arabic.

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?

يَتَفَاعَلُ الطُّلَّابُ مَعَ المُعَلِّمِ.
What to notice

Arabic digital verbs often govern a specific preposition. Changing it makes the phrase inaccurate.

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، يُسَهِّلُ التَّعَلُّمُ عَنْ بُعْدٍ الوُصُولَ إِلَى الدُّرُوسِ، وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى، قَدْ يَزِيدُ وَقْتَ الشَّاشَةِ.
What to notice

Present a benefit and a limitation before reaching a judgement.

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ الذَّكَاءَ الاصْطِنَاعِيَّ مُفِيدٌ، فَلَا يَجِبُ أَنْ نَعْتَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ كُلِّيًّا.
What to notice

Use أَنَّ with a noun or attached pronoun; the sentence that follows states the unexpected contrast.

1

Keep the verb with its required preposition

verb + fixed preposition

Arabic digital verbs often govern a specific preposition. Changing it makes the phrase inaccurate.

يَتَفَاعَلُ الطُّلَّابُ مَعَ المُعَلِّمِ.يُعَلِّقُ المُسْتَخْدِمُ عَلَى المَنْشُورِ.
2

Balanced contrast

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ ... وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى ...

Present a benefit and a limitation before reaching a judgement.

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ، يُسَهِّلُ التَّعَلُّمُ عَنْ بُعْدٍ الوُصُولَ إِلَى الدُّرُوسِ، وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى، قَدْ يَزِيدُ وَقْتَ الشَّاشَةِ.
3

Concession with عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ + nominal clause

Use أَنَّ with a noun or attached pronoun; the sentence that follows states the unexpected contrast.

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ الذَّكَاءَ الاصْطِنَاعِيَّ مُفِيدٌ، فَلَا يَجِبُ أَنْ نَعْتَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ كُلِّيًّا.
4

Pronoun reference

preposition + attached pronoun

Refer back precisely: عَلَيْهِ for a masculine noun, عَلَيْهَا for a feminine noun.

المَوْقِعُ مُفِيدٌ، وَلٰكِنْ يَجِبُ التَّحَقُّقُ مِمَّا يُنْشَرُ عَلَيْهِ.المِنَصَّةُ آمِنَةٌ إِذَا حَافَظْنَا عَلَى خُصُوصِيَّتِنَا فِيهَا.
