Questions & Answers about تثق المرأة المستقلة بنفسها دائما.
Why does the reflexive word نفسها have the preposition بـ attached to it?
The verb تثق (trusts) requires the preposition بـ (in/with) to indicate who is being trusted. In Arabic, you don't just trust someone, you trust in someone. So, to say trusts herself, you combine بـ + نفس (self) + ها (her).
تثق seems like a very short verb. What is its root?
The root is وثق (w-th-q). Verbs that start with the weak letter و (waw) usually drop that letter in the present tense. So instead of sounding like tawthiq, it drops the waw and simply becomes تثق.
Why does المستقلة (independent) have الـ (the) attached to it?
In Arabic, an adjective must perfectly match the noun it describes. Because المرأة (the woman) is definite (has الـ), the adjective describing her must also be definite. Together, المرأة المستقلة means the independent woman.
Why does دائما end with an extra alif?
That ending holds the tanween fatha (an an sound), which is commonly used in Arabic to turn a word into an adverb. Here, it changes the base meaning of constant into the adverb always.
