Questions & Answers about نسقي التصميم مع المبرمج والتزمي بالميزانية.
Why does the command نسقي not start with a helper alif like Form I imperatives usually do?
نسقي is a Form II imperative, coming from the verb نسق (to coordinate). You form it by taking the present tense تنسقين, dropping the prefix تـ, and keeping the feminine ending ـي. Because the first letter (ن) already has a vowel (a fatha), it doesn't need a helper alif to make it pronounceable, unlike most Form I imperatives.
Why does the second command, التزمي, start with an alif?
التزمي is a Form VIII imperative, from the verb التزم (to adhere). When you drop the present tense prefix from the Form VIII verb, the first letter is a ل with a sukoon (no vowel). Since Arabic words cannot start with a sukoon, you must add a helper alif (hamzat wasl) to the beginning so it can be pronounced.
If التزمي starts with an alif, why do we pronounce والتزمي as wa-ltazimi without the alif sound?
The helper alif at the beginning of Form VIII imperatives is a hamzat wasl (connecting alif). This means it is only pronounced if you start the sentence with it. Since the conjunction و (and) is attached right before it, the alif becomes silent, and you glide straight from the و into the ل.
Why is the preposition بـ attached to الميزانية (the budget)?
In Arabic, the Form VIII verb التزم requires the preposition بـ to mean to adhere to or to commit to something. Verb-preposition pairs often do not translate word-for-word into English, so it is best to memorize التزم بـ as a single vocabulary chunk.
