Questions & Answers about في هذه الشراكة، نحن نساعد بعضنا بعضا.
How exactly does بعضنا بعضا translate to 'each other'?
The phrase literally translates to 'some of us [help] some.' The first word بعض means 'some' and takes the attached pronoun نا (us) to match the subject 'we.' The second word بعضا represents the 'other' being helped. You will change the attached pronoun on the first word depending on who is doing the action.
Why does the second بعضا end with an extra alif?
That extra alif holds the 'an' sound (tanween fatha). In Arabic, the object receiving the action of a verb takes this accusative ending. The first بعض does not have it because it is attached to the pronoun نا.
Since نساعد already means 'we help', is the pronoun نحن (we) really necessary?
No, it is grammatically optional. The prefix نـ on the verb نساعد already tells us the subject is 'we'. Adding the independent pronoun نحن before it is just a common way to add a little emphasis or clarify the topic, similar to saying 'as for us, we help each other.'
Why does the word for partnership, الشراكة, have the definite article الـ (the) attached to it?
In Arabic, to say 'this partnership', the noun following 'this' (هذه) must be definite, so it takes الـ. If you left it out and just said هذه شراكة, it would mean 'this is a partnership' instead of 'this partnership'.
