Today's topic Harf of Light Verbs

So, following 6 are the Harf of Light Verb:

1. Lan لَن

2. An اَن

3. Kay كَي

4. Izan اِذَن / اِذًا

5. Hatta حَتّىٰ

6. Li لِ


Lan = never

An = that

Kay = so that

Izan = if

Hatta = until

Li = for

---------

Now we will first see what is this Light Verb?

Before that, we must know Only Present tense be can become Light
And therefore these Harf of Light Verbs will only be used with Present Tense Verbs.

So the present tense verbs are

Aftahu
Taftahu
Taftaheena
Yaftahu
Taftahu

اَفتَحُ

تَفتَحُ

تَفتَحينَ

يَفتَحُ

تَفتَحُ

Now if a Harf of light verbs's effect will fall upon any of these Verbs..

How they will look like is this :

Aftaha
Taftaha
Taftaheen
Yaftaha
Taftaha

اَفتَحَ

تَفتَحَ

تَفتَحين

يَفتَحَ

تَفتَحَ

So that's all...

---------

Lan = لَن = never

This is a Harf of Light Verb

So,

I open = Aftahu

I never open = Lan Aftaha


I open the door = Aftahu Al Baaba

I never open the door = Lan Aftaha Al Baaba

-------

Now,

Aftahu
Taftahu
Taftaheena
Yaftahu
Taftahu

These are only singular..

Let's now look at

Naftahu
Taftahoona
Taftahna
Yaftahoona
Yaftahna

نَفتَحُ

تَفتَحونَ

تَفتَحنَ

يَفتَحونَ

يَفتَحنَ

How will these be turned into Light Verb?

Here :


Naftaha
Taftahoon
Taftahan
Yaftahoon
Yaftahan

نَفتَحَ

تَفتَحون

تَفتَحَن

يَفتَحون

يَفتَحَن

They open the door
→ Yaftoona Al Baaba

They never open the door
→ Lan Yaftahoon Al Baaba

-------

We will proceed with other 5 Harf of Light Verbs tomorrow inn shaa Allah
