صِيَغُ النُّصْحِ وَالفِعْلُ المَنْصُوبُ بَعْدَ أَنْ
يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ and يَجِبُ أَنْ take a subjunctive verb (fatḥa); يَحْظُرُ and يَسْمَحُ بِـ state rules; both conditional types frame scenarios and reflections.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
Subjunctive يَتَعَلَّمَ after أَنْ.
Type 1 scenario plus subjunctive.
Type 2 cultural reflection.
يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ + naṣb
Polite, impersonal advice; the verb takes a fatḥa.
يَجِبُ أَنْ + naṣb
A stronger obligation; still a subjunctive.
يَحْظُرُ + object · يَسْمَحُ بِـ
Prohibits (with an object) and permits (with بِـ).
إِذَا … يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ · لَوْ … لَـ
Advise for a case, then reflect on a missed chance.
| Modal | Force | Verb after it |
|---|---|---|
| يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ | polite advice | subjunctive (fatḥa) |
| يَجِبُ أَنْ | obligation | subjunctive (fatḥa) |
| يَحْظُرُ | prohibition | direct object |
| يَسْمَحُ بِـ | permission | بِـ + noun |
After أَنْ the verb takes a fatḥa (the subjunctive): يُسْتَحْسَنُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ الزَّائِرُ بَعْضَ الكَلِمَاتِ العَرَبِيَّةِ. Note يَتَعَلَّمَ, not يَتَعَلَّمُ. It is a softer, more polite advice than يَجِبُ أَنْ.
يَحْظُرُ is the formal way to say a rule forbids something: يَحْظُرُ التَّصْوِيرَ فِي بَعْضِ المُقَدَّسَاتِ. يَسْمَحُ بِـ permits: يَسْمَحُ المَتْحَفُ بِالتَّصْوِيرِ دُونَ فَلَاشٍ.
