Build “the room of…” phrasesإِضَافَةُ أَسْمَاءِ الغُرَفِ

Arabic joins two nouns directly. The first noun loses الـ; the second noun carries definiteness.

Correct

غُرْفَةُ الجُلُوسِ · غُرْفَةُ الطَّعَامِ · بَابُ البَيْتِ · نَافِذَةُ المَطْبَخِ

الغُرْفَةُ النَّوْمِ
غُرْفَةُ نَوْمٌ

The first noun does not take الـ in this definite construction, and the second noun completes the phrase.

Say what your home containsصِفْ مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ

Three high-value frames let you list, possess and locate rooms accurately.

In my house

فِي بَيْتِي مَطْبَخٌ وَحَمَّامٌ.

Use this to list what the home contains.

I have

عِنْدِي غُرْفَةُ نَوْمٍ كَبِيرَةٌ.

Use عِنْدِي for possession.

There is / are

هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍ.

Use هُنَاكَ to introduce what exists.

Question bank

مَاذَا فِي بَيْتِكَ؟ / مَاذَا فِي بَيْتِكِ؟
هَلْ عِنْدَكَ حَدِيقَةٌ؟ / هَلْ عِنْدَكِ حَدِيقَةٌ؟
كَمْ غُرْفَةً فِي بَيْتِكَ؟ / بَيْتِكِ؟

House and room agreement

بَيْتٌ كَبِيرٌ وَجَدِيدٌ
غُرْفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَجَدِيدَةٌ

بَيْتٌ is masculine; غُرْفَةٌ is feminine.

غُرْفَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌone room
غُرْفَتَانِtwo rooms
ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍthree rooms
أَرْبَعُ غُرَفٍfour rooms
خَمْسُ غُرَفٍfive rooms
سِتُّ غُرَفٍsix rooms
Foundation number reminder

غُرْفَةٌ is feminine, so numbers 3–10 use the opposite, masculine form: ثَلَاثُ غُرَفٍ, not ثَلَاثَةُ غُرَفٍ. The full agreement system remains available in Numeracy Mastery.

اِسْمِي عُمَرُ. أَسْكُنُ مَعَ أُسْرَتِي فِي شَقَّةٍ فِي الطَّابِقِ الثَّانِي. شَقَّتُنَا صَغِيرَةٌ وَلَكِنَّهَا جَمِيلَةٌ وَنَظِيفَةٌ. فِيهَا غُرْفَةُ جُلُوسٍ وَغُرْفَتَا نَوْمٍ وَمَطْبَخٌ وَحَمَّامٌ وَمَمَرٌّ صَغِيرٌ. لَا عِنْدَنَا حَدِيقَةٌ وَلَا مَرْآبٌ، وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَنَا شُرْفَةٌ. أُحِبُّ غُرْفَةَ الجُلُوسِ لِأَنَّهَا وَاسِعَةٌ وَمُرِيحَةٌ.
