Questions & Answers about صلح الفني كل هاتف خلال اليوم.
Why does the verb صلح have a doubled middle letter?
The verb صلح (sallaha) is a Form II verb, which is indicated by the shadda (the doubling mark) on the middle letter. The basic Form I root ص ل ح (salaha) means "to be good" or "to be proper." Doubling the middle letter often makes a verb causative, shifting the meaning here to "to make something good" or "to fix/repair."
How is the word الفني (the technician) built?
It comes directly from the noun فن (fann), which means "art," "skill," or "technique." Adding the suffix ـي (a nisba suffix) turns a noun into an adjective or describes a person associated with that thing. So, فني literally means "technical" or "a technical person" (a technician).
Why does كل هاتف translate to "every phone" instead of "all the phones"?
When the word كل (kull) is followed by a singular, indefinite noun like هاتف (hatif), it means "every" or "each." If you wanted to say "all the phones," you would use a plural, definite noun after it instead: كل الهواتف (kull al-hawatif).
What grammatical case endings do the words كل and هاتف take here?
كل (kulla) is the direct object of the verb "repaired," so it is in the accusative case and takes a fatha (short "a" sound). The word following it, هاتف (hatifin), acts as the second part of a possessive construction (idafa). Therefore, it must be in the genitive case, taking a kasratayn (an "in" sound) because it is indefinite.
