Questions & Answers about طبع الناشر ألف نسخة من القاموس.

Why is the word for copies (نسخة) singular in the Arabic sentence?
In Arabic, the rules for counted nouns depend on the number. For 100, 1000, and their multiples, you must use a singular noun. Even though we use the plural 'copies' in English, Arabic requires the singular نسخة after ألف.
What case ending does نسخة take after ألف?
It takes the genitive case ending, which here is a double kasra (-in), pronounced nusxatin. Nouns counted by 100, 1000, and higher act like the second part of an 'idafa' (possessive phrase), so they are always in the genitive case.
Since ألف means a thousand, how does it function grammatically in this sentence?
Words for 100 and 1000 behave like regular nouns in Arabic. Here, ألف is the direct object of the verb طبع (printed). Because it is the direct object, it takes the accusative case (a fatha ending) and would be pronounced alfa.
Why do we use من instead of just attaching 'the dictionary' directly to 'copy'?
The phrase ألف نسخة is already locked together as a grammatical unit. If you tried to add the dictionary directly to it as another possessive, it would break the rule. Using the preposition من (from/of) is the clearest and most natural way to link a thousand copies to a specific book.
