النظارة تصحح ضعف النظر.

Questions & Answers about النظارة تصحح ضعف النظر.

Why is the verb تصحح singular when the English translation says 'glasses'?
In Arabic, the word for a single pair of glasses, النظارة, is a singular feminine noun. Because of this, it takes the singular feminine verb تصحح. While there is a plural form (نظارات), you use the singular when talking about one pair.
What is the root and pattern of the verb تصحح?
It is a Form II verb, derived from the root ص-ح-ح. You might recognize this root from the word صحيح (correct or true). Form II verbs often carry a causative meaning, so تصحح literally means 'it makes correct'.
How does the phrase ضعف النظر work grammatically?
This is an idafa (genitive construct) that literally translates to 'the weakness of the vision'. In English, we naturally phrase this as 'poor eyesight'. Notice that ضعف (weakness) does not take الـ (the) because it is the first part of the idafa.
What would the case endings be for ضعف النظر in this sentence?
ضعف is the direct object of the verb تصحح, so it takes a fatha (ضعفَ). The second word, النظر, takes a kasra (النظرِ) because the second part of an idafa is always in the genitive case.
