Example sentences

• فَغَدًا الصَّحَابَةُ الْكِرَامُ رِجَالُهُمْ وَنِسَاءُهُمْ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

  So the next morning the noble Companions, both men and women among them, asked the Messenger of God.

  فَغَدًا — so the next morning. The prefix fa- ('so/then') fused onto a time-word for 'the next morning'. The fa- here marks narrative sequence, moving the account to the following day. So one word carries both the connector that advances the story and the noun that sets the new time. It opens the next scene.

• ثُمَّ أَعْمَلُ بِهِ غَدًا

  Then I will act on it tomorrow!

  غَدًا — tomorrow. A time-word in the object (accusative) form, used adverbially to mark WHEN the deferred deed is pushed to: 'tomorrow'. Arabic sets such a time noun in the object form to act as an adverb, and here it lands the procrastination squarely on the never-arriving next day.

  When the next day comes, people only want to say

  غَدًا — the next day. This time-noun works as a 'when' adverbial inside the condition, fixing the moment as the coming day, and it takes the object-style ending Arabic uses for such adverbs. Its indefinite ending leaves it general: any next day. It is what the 'when'-verb points to.
