Price questions, possessive gender and comparisons
أَسْئِلَةُ الثَّمَنِ وَالمُقَارَنَةُ بَيْنَ الأَسْعَارِ
The price question changes its possessive ending according to the item: ثَمَنُهُ for a masculine item and ثَمَنُهَا for a feminine item. Compare prices with أَرْخَصُ مِنْ and أَغْلَى مِنْ.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
هٰذَا هَاتِفٌ. كَمْ ثَمَنُهُ؟
This is a phone. How much is it?Masculine item → ـهُ.
هٰذِهِ حَقِيبَةٌ. كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا؟
This is a bag. How much is it?Feminine item → ـهَا.
الحَافِلَةُ أَرْخَصُ مِنَ التَّاكْسِي.
The bus is cheaper than the taxi.The comparative does not change.
هَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَ بِالبِطَاقَةِ؟
Can I pay by card?Use a complete polite request.
Ask the price of a masculine item
كَمْ ثَمَنُهُ؟
The suffix ـهُ refers back to a masculine noun such as كِتَابٌ or هَاتِفٌ.
هٰذَا كِتَابٌ. كَمْ ثَمَنُهُ؟كَمْ ثَمَنُ الهَاتِفِ؟
Ask the price of a feminine item
كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا؟
The suffix ـهَا refers back to a feminine noun such as حَقِيبَةٌ or تَذْكِرَةٌ.
هٰذِهِ حَقِيبَةٌ. كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا؟كَمْ ثَمَنُ التَّذْكِرَةِ؟
Compare two prices
أَرْخَصُ مِنْ / أَغْلَى مِنْ
These irregular comparative forms do not change for masculine and feminine nouns.
الحَافِلَةُ أَرْخَصُ مِنْ سَيَّارَةِ الأُجْرَةِ.الهَاتِفُ أَغْلَى مِنَ الكِتَابِ.
Make a polite purchase
أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ + شَيْئًا
Use the first-person verb after أَنْ and add polite interaction language.
أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ هَدِيَّةً، مِنْ فَضْلِكَ.هَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَ بِالبِطَاقَةِ؟
| Item | Price suffix | Question |
|---|---|---|
| كِتَابٌ | ـهُ | كَمْ ثَمَنُهُ؟ |
| حَقِيبَةٌ | ـهَا | كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا؟ |
| plural goods | explicit noun | كَمْ ثَمَنُ المَلَابِسِ؟ |
A price question is also a pronoun task: the suffix must refer accurately to the item.
Comparatives are most useful when they support a decision, not when they appear as isolated forms.
