Arabic “My name is . . .” Arabic Beginner Lesson-33
Responding with the possessive
“My name is . . .”
The possessive form is one of Arabic’s easiest grammatical lessons: All you
do is add the suffix –ii (pronounced ee) to the noun, and — voila! — you have
the possessive form of the noun. For example, to say “my name,” you add –ii
to ‘ism and get ‘ismii (ees-mee; my name). So to say “My name is Amine,” all
you say is ‘ismii amiin. It’s that simple!
