- In this section, we will learn the accusative case of diptotes In-Shā’-Allâh (God Willing):
- Previously we have learnt only one situation when a noun takes the accusative case and that is:
- When the noun is the object of a verbal sentence مَفْعُولٌ i.e.,أَكَلَ خَالِدٌ تُفَّاحًا
- However, since the diptote does not take a /tanwīn/, if it is used as the object of a verbal sentence it will take a single /fatħah/ instead of double vowels e.g., زَارَ طَاهِرٌ مَسَاجِدَ كَثِيرَةً
- Let’s review some examples to understand this rule:
| Picture | Translation | Arabic |
|
| Yusuf entered buildings | دَخَلَ يُوسُفُ مَنَازِلَ. |
|
| The guests went out of hotels | خَرَجَ الضُّيُوفُ مِنْ فَنَادِقَ. |
|
| I bought wooden desks | اِشْتَرَيْتُ مَكَاتِبَ خَشَبِيَّةً. |
|
| Nasir took the keys of the house | أَخَذَ نَاصِرٌ مَفَاتِيحَ الْبَيْتِ. |
|
| The boy bought a black pen | اِشْتَرَى الْوَلَدُ قَلَمًا أَسْوَدَ. |
