Easy Arabic Grammar Lesson 55
with Saad ibn Sabah

Harf Mansoob — Anna, Ka-anna, La'alla


Topic - Anna

Anna اَنَّ = Indeed/Certainly


Regarding Anna,
1. Anna is used for indeed instead of Inna, when indeed has to be placed somewhere in between a sentence.

2. Another Harf can proceed Inna in a sentence, but if a verb or ism appears before Inna then that Inna will change into Anna.

Example :

Qatala Khaalidan Anna Fi Al-Bayti
= He killed Khalid indeed in the house.

In English, when indeed is written in the middle of a sentence it doesn't sound correct.
But in Arabic, Anna can be used in middle of a sentence as completely normal.

-------

Now every rule we studied about Inna, is also applied on Anna.

1. Effect of Anna = shown through case 2 on an ism

2. Anna + La

3. Annee Annaka Annaki etc.

The only thing regarding these rules you need to know is, effect of Inna will be seen on an ism in the sentence after Anna.
Any ism before Anna will not show it's effect.

Similarly, Anna + La combination... La will appear on an ism after Anna.


---------

Last but important thing.

In Arabic
Anna = Indeed
Anna = so that

The same word Anna can also mean that in arabic.

Infact... 90% of times you will see Anna, it will mean so that

So how will you know if the Anna is indeed or that?

Simple.

If an ism is turned into Case 2 in the sentence. Consider that Anna as indeed.

And if no case 2 then consider it so that

---------

Now also,

In Arabic,
Zaalika = that (masculine)
Tilka = that (feminine)
Anna = so that (conjunction)

I think I taught you in YouTube videos Zaalika & Tilka.

Now how is Anna = that different from Zalika = that?

In English,

1. That is a dog.
= Zaalika Kalbun
ذالِكَ كَلبٌ

2. He hit Khalid so that he learns a lesson.
= Daraba Khalidan Annahu ya'lamu Darsan
ضَرَبَ خالِدٌ اَنَّهُ يَعلَمَمُ دَرسًا


Daraba = he hit (past tense verb)

Khalidun = case 1 doer

Annahu = so that he

Ya'lamu = he learns (present tense verb)

Darsan = dars = lesson in case 2 = object of verb

----------

Next Harf of Case 3 :

Ka-anna = like that = كَاَنَّ

Now you can understand.. ka = like (from Harf of Case 3), and Anna = so that (Harf of Case 2)

Both of them mixes and creates a new Harf which is Ka-anna = like that.

Use of ka-anna is simple.

1. One of the ism in the sentence will go into Case 2 under the effect of ka-anna.

2. It too can be used as Ka-annee, Ka-annaka, ka-annaki etc.
Like that I
Like that You
Like that You (f)
Like that He
Etc.

------------

Very very important point I forgot to say in the begining only.

Whenever a Harf appears as Innaka, Innaki, Annahu, Annakum, Minni, Minka Minki (Harf of Case 3 too),

Then it doesn't need to change another ism into Case 3 or case 2.

Means when it appears only as Min = from, then the next ism will turn into Case 3.

But when it is used as Minka = from you, then the next ism doesn't change into Case 3.

Similarly...
Innahu = indeed He, doesn't need to change any other ism into Case 2.

Reason:
The effect of Inna in Innahu = indeed He might have fallen on hu = He itself.

There can or cannot be another ism changed into Case 2 when Harf of Case 2 is used as Innee Innaka etc
