Episode 8 – Form II – فَعَّلَ (faʿʿala): Pattern, Meaning, and Common Verbs
🎙️ Episode 8 – Form II – فَعَّلَ (faʿʿala): Pattern, Meaning, and Common Verbs
In this episode, we begin our deep dive into Form II verbs—the backbone of causation, intensity, and repetition in Modern Standard Arabic.
If Form I is about doing, Form II is about making it happen: teaching, dictating, organizing, preparing, and more.
You’ll learn:
The core فَعَّلَ pattern and how it transforms Form I roots
How verbs like عَلَّمَ (to teach), كَتَّبَ (to dictate), and نَظَّمَ (to organize) shift meaning from basic action to structured intent
Syntax tips, including how Form II verbs pair with prepositions like بـ، في، لـِ
The power of the شَدَّة (shadda) and why pronunciation matters
3 bonus Form II verbs: بَحَّثَ (to investigate), قَرَّأَ (to make recite), and دَرَّسَ (to teach)
This episode is part of the complete Arabic Verbs Workbook system—designed for global learners who want clarity, confidence, and fluency in Arabic.
