Types of Masdar Masdar is the infinitive noun (derived from a past tense verb normally ). It signifies the occurrence of an action or the existence of a state. The types of Masdar: 1.MASDAR SAREEH ( the regular) 2.Masdar Meemi 3.Masdar Sinaa'e – Artificial Infinitive 4.Masdar of Oneness / Unity and type 5.Masdar Moawal

THE MĪMĪ INFINITIVE (ALMASDAR ALMIMI) It is formed from all verbs by adding a mīm (prefix). The mīmī infinitive is formed from triliteral verbs in the form مَفعَل for example:. مَنظَر It is formed from the letter verb Mafal مفعل Nazara (Look)  Manzarun نَظَرَ -> منَظَرٌ Dharaba (Hit)  Madhrabun ضَرَبَ -> مَضرَبٌ The exceptions to this are quasi-sound verbs whose first root letter is a vowel letter, these will be in the form مَفعِل, for example:. مَوعِد If the first letter was a vowel letter then it will be on scale of Mafe’l مفعل Example: – Wa Qa Aa  MowQeAa وَقَعَ -> مَوقِع

11-Masdar Meemi vs.noun of time (ZAMAAN) and place (MAKAAN) Note: Noun of Place / Time has the form of Mafal and Mafel. Therefore all Noun of place/time nouns are Masdar Meeme, but not every Masdar Meeme is a noun of place/time. Mafal مفعل similar to ISM MAKAAN مطبخ – اسم مكان kitchen =MATBAKH Mafe’l مفعل similar to ISM ZAMAAN مغرب – اسم زمان sunset = MAGHRIB This will be further studied in detail

12- Masdar Meem The mīmī infinitive is formed from verbs with more than three letters by placing them in the passive (MAJHOOL) YOFA’LO يفعل voice of the present tense and replacing the present tense prefix letter with a mīm which has a d  ummah,, and a Fatha before the last letter. for example: AKRAMA> YOKRIMO> MOKRAMO مُکرَم << يكرم << أكرم Ufa’elo  Mufa’alo – Qarraba (to be close) قَربَ  Present Tense YoQareBa يُقرَب  MuQaraba مُقربَ – ZalZala زلزل (Earthquake)  YuZilZeLu يُزلزِل  ManZelZalu مُزَلزَلُ Please Note: This form also applies to Object noun (ISIM Mafool). Thus every Object noun is a Masdar Meem but not every Masdar Meem is an object noun.
