َ ‫ُم َقد‬

 In this lesson we will learn the following:

o The  noun   َ ‫تِل‬ which means "That" and is used for the feminine nouns. This
‫ْك‬
called a demonstrative pronoun in English Grammar and ‫اس م‬
ِ
noun is
ُ ْ
‫إِ َش َار ٍة‬ in Arabic Grammar. Tilka is used to refer to objects that are further
away in the same way as Hādhihī is used to refer to closer objects

representing the feminine nouns. e.g.,  

English: Transliteration: Arabic:

That is a lady teacher Tilka Mudarrisatun َ ‫تِل‬.

ٌ‫ْك ُم َد ِّر َسة‬

That is a bag
 
Tilka ħaqībatun ٌ‫ْك َح ِقيبَة‬
َ ‫تِل‬.
 That is… -  َ ‫تِل‬
‫ْك‬

 In this part of Lesson No. 7 we will learn another pronoun  َ ِ‫تل‬ (which means “that”)
‫ْك‬
– Tilka is used for the feminine nouns.  Tilka follows the same principles as followed

by Dhālika and is used to refer to objects that are further away whereas hādhihi

(“this” in feminine form) is used to refer to objects that are closer. 

 The demonstrative pronouns are called  ‫َس َماءُ ا ِإل َش َار ِة‬
ْ ‫أ‬ in Arabic language and have
two types:

o The pronouns which refer to the near objects like  ‫ َهٰـ َذا‬ and ‫ َهٰـ ِذ ِه‬ meaning
(this for masculine and feminine respectively) are called ‫ش ارة‬
ِ َ ‫أَس ماء ا ِإل‬
َ ُ َْ
‫الْ َق ِريبَ ِة‬ and
o The pronouns which refer to the distant objects like ‫ك‬َ ِ‫ذَل‬ and ‫ْك‬ َ ‫تِل‬ meaning
(that for masculine and feminine respectively) are called ‫ش ارة‬
ِ َ ‫أَس ماء ا ِإل‬
َ ُ َْ
‫الْبَ ِعي َد ِة‬.
