وَصْفُ المُحْتَوَى الغِذَائِيِّ بِأُسْلُوبٍ عِلْمِيٍّ
Three content structures, one passive of recommendation, and the agreement rule that governs every nutrient plural in the lesson.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
عَلَى is fixed, and the noun after it is genitive.
A plural of things takes a feminine singular adjective.
A passive recommendation with no named doer.
يَحْتَوِي عَلَى + genitive
Form VIII with a fixed preposition. The noun after it is genitive.
غَنِيٌّ بِـ + genitive · يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى + genitive
غَنِيٌّ agrees with the noun it describes; يَفْتَقِرُ is a verb and takes إِلَى.
plural of things + feminine singular adjective
دُهُون، أَلْيَاف، مَعَادِن and سُعْرَات all take a feminine singular adjective.
يُوصَى بِـ + genitive verbal noun
A passive that gives advice without naming who gives it — standard in health writing.
| Structure | Preposition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| يَحْتَوِي | عَلَى | يَحْتَوِي عَلَى بُرُوتِينٍ |
| غَنِيٌّ | بِـ | غَنِيٌّ بِالحَدِيدِ |
| يَفْتَقِرُ | إِلَى | يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى الأَلْيَافِ |
| يُقَلِّلُ | مِنْ | يُقَلِّلُ مِنَ الخَطَرِ |
يَحْتَوِي عَلَى states what is in something, غَنِيٌّ بِـ says it has a lot of it, and يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى says it is missing. Learn each with its preposition; swapping them is the commonest error in this topic.
دُهُونٌ مُشْبَعَةٌ, not مُشْبَعُونَ. Arabic treats a plural of things as grammatically feminine singular, so the adjective ends in ـَةٌ.
