Questions & Answers about صيد هذا الوحش عندما تناقل الناس خرافة غريبة.
Why does the verb صيد have a ya (ي) in the middle instead of an alif (ا)?
صيد is the passive past tense of the hollow verb صاد (to hunt). To make a hollow verb passive in the past tense, the middle vowel changes to a ya (ي) and the first letter takes a kasra (i sound). This is why صاد becomes صيد (was hunted).
What is the subject of the passive verb صيد in this sentence?
The subject of the passive verb (sometimes called the deputy doer) is هذا الوحش (this monster). Because it acts as the new subject, the noun الوحش takes the nominative case ending, which is a damma (u sound).
How does the Form VI verb تناقل change the meaning of the basic root ن-ق-ل (to move or transfer)?
Form VI verbs often imply mutual action or a group of people doing something together. While the base verb نقل just means to transfer something, تناقل implies that people transferred it among themselves, which translates here to passed down or circulated.
What case endings do the words خرافة غريبة take here?
They act as the direct object of the verb تناقل (passed down), so they must be in the accusative case. Since they are indefinite (they do not have ال at the beginning), they both take a fatha tanween ending, making them pronounced as khurafatan gharibatan.
