المَوَادُّ وَالمَبْنِيُّ لِلْمَجْهُولِ وَجُمْلَةُ الغَرَضِ
مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ and the planning verbs, the urban passive with a nominative subject, and the لِكَي goal clause with its subjunctive.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ names the material.
يُحَوِّلُ … إِلَى.
لِكَيْ + subjunctive تَكُونَ.
مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ · يَتَمَيَّزُ بِـ
Say what a building is made of and its features.
يُعِيدُ تَصْمِيمَ · يُجَدِّدُ · يُحَوِّلُ إِلَى
Redesign, renovate and convert.
يُبْنَى / يُخَطَّطُ + nominative
No named doer; the subject is nominative.
لِكَيْ + verb (final fatḥa)
State the planning goal with a subjunctive.
| Structure | Marker | Example |
|---|---|---|
| material | مَبْنِيٌّ مِنْ | مَبْنِيٌّ مِنَ الزُّجَاجِ |
| planning verb | object / إِلَى | يُحَوِّلُ … إِلَى حَدِيقَةٍ |
| passive | nominative subject | يُبْنَى مَشْرُوعٌ |
| goal | لِكَيْ + fatḥa | لِكَيْ تَكُونَ |
بُنِيَ الجُزْءُ القَدِيمُ مِنَ الطِّينِ وَالخَشَبِ، وَنَاطِحَاتُ السَّحَابِ مَبْنِيَّةٌ مِنَ الزُّجَاجِ وَالصُّلْبِ. The passive يُبْنَى، يُخَطَّطُ، يُعَادُ تَصْمِيمُهُ names the process without a doer, and its subject is nominative.
يُخَطِّطُ المُهَنْدِسُونَ لِكَيْ تَكُونَ المُدُنُ أَكْثَرَ اسْتِدَامَةً (so that cities become more sustainable — تَكُونَ, subjunctive). The purpose clause carries the goal, and the verb takes a fatḥa.
