Questions & Answers about أردنا أن نزور المنشأة عينها لنتأكد من المطابقة.
Why does the emphasis word here use the root for "eye" (عين), and how does it match the noun?
In Arabic, both نفس (soul/self) and عين (eye/essence) are used for Corroborative Emphasis to mean "itself." Here, عين is followed by the feminine pronoun ها to match the feminine noun المنشأة (the facility). Also, since المنشأة is the direct object (accusative case), عين takes a fatha on its last letter to match its case: عَيْنَها (aynaha).
Could we have used "نفسها" instead of "عينها" in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely. المنشأة نفسها and المنشأة عينها mean the exact same thing ("the facility itself"). They are fully interchangeable when used for this kind of emphasis.
Why do the verbs for "visit" (نزور) and "verify" (نتأكد) both take the subjunctive mood here?
نزور (nazuura) is subjunctive (taking a fatha) because it comes right after the particle أن (to). نتأكد (nata'akkada) is subjunctive because it is attached to the prefix لـ (the lam of reasoning), which means "in order to" and also triggers the subjunctive mood for the verb it attaches to.
Why is there a "من" (from/of) before "the compliance" (المطابقة)?
In Arabic, the verb تأكّد (to make sure / to verify) pairs with the preposition من to introduce the thing being verified. While in English you "verify the compliance," in Arabic you must "make sure of the compliance" (نتأكد من المطابقة).
