Example sentences

• ثم قال لئن أنا حييت حتى آكل تمراتي هذه إنها لحياة طويلة

  Then he said: 'If I live until I eat my dates, it will indeed be a long life!'

  تَمْرَاتِي — my dates. A noun with the possessor -i (my) attached at the end and the plural ending before it, so one word holds 'my dates'. The attached -i is the first-person owner; together they form a possessive whole with no separate word for 'my'.
