Example sentences

• أن رجلاً اشترى دبسًا عسل التمر من السوق،

  A man bought date molasses from the market,

  دِبْسًا — molasses. The -an ending marks this as the direct object of 'bought' and, with no al', as indefinite, 'molasses'.

  When he arrived, he found that the molasses had leaked from the bag,

  الدِّبْسَ — the molasses. Definite by al' and in the accusative -a because the 'that' particle grips it as its subject; the object-style ending here is forced by that opener.
