How a word is built

Sample lesson
كِتَاب kitāb: a book. The word on the top row, its pattern on the row below.

Most Arabic words grow from a root of three letters. The root ك ت ب k-t-b carries the idea “to write”.

A pattern puts the root into a word. Here it is فِعَال fiʿāl: the letters ف ع ل stand in for the three root letters, and the long ا ā is added between the second and third.

The same root gives other words:

  • كَتَبَ kataba · he wrote
  • كَاتِب kātib · writer
  • مَكْتَب maktab · desk, office
