Example sentences

• مَا أَحَدُ مِمَّنِ رَوَيْتُ عَنْهُ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ زَمَانُنَا،

  There is no one among those I narrated from who is better than all the people of our time.

  زَمَانِنَا — our time. A noun ending in -na 'our', so it fuses 'time' with the speaker's group as owner. It closes the chain as 'our time', sitting in the genitive owned-by slot, and the -na makes the whole phrase 'all the people of our time'.
