Questions & Answers about استلم الفريق الطرد منهم.
How is the word منهم formed?
It is a combination of the preposition من (from) and the attached plural pronoun هم (them). When you want to say 'from them', you attach the pronoun directly to the end of the preposition.
Why does the sentence start with the verb استلم instead of the subject الفريق?
In Arabic, the most common sentence structure is Verb-Subject-Object. So instead of saying 'The team received the parcel', the sentence literally flows as 'Received the team the parcel'.
How do I pronounce the definite article at the beginning of الطرد?
You do not pronounce the 'L' sound here. The first letter of the root word (ط) is a 'sun letter'. This means it swallows the 'L' sound of the 'al-' prefix, so the word is pronounced 'aT-Tard' instead of 'al-Tard'.
Does منهم specify if 'them' is a group of men or women?
Yes! The attached pronoun هم (hum) is used for a group of males, or a mixed group of males and females. If the group was entirely female, you would use the feminine pronoun هن (hunna) to make منهن.
