Questions & Answers about بخصوص المقابلة، أستطيع أن أحضر يوم الأحد.
How does بخصوص translate to "regarding"?
It is a combination of the preposition بـ (with/by/in) and the noun خصوص (particularity or specifics). Together, they form a very common fixed phrase meaning "regarding", "concerning", or "in relation to".
Why do we use أن between أستطيع and أحضر instead of an infinitive verb?
Unlike English, Arabic doesn't use an infinitive after verbs like "can", "want", or "must". Instead, you use the particle أن (to/that) followed by a conjugated present-tense verb. Literally, the phrase أستطيع أن أحضر translates to "I am able that I attend".
How does the particle أن change the grammar of أحضر?
The particle أن requires the present tense verb following it to be in the subjunctive mood. If you are reading with full vowel marks, the final letter of أحضر changes from its default damma (short 'u') to a fatha (short 'a'), making it أحضرَ (ahdura).
Why isn't there a preposition like "on" before يوم الأحد (Sunday)?
In Arabic, you usually don't need a preposition like في (in/on) before days of the week to say when something happens. Using the time phrase directly acts as an adverb meaning "on Sunday". When used this way, the word يوم acts as an adverb of time and takes a fatha on the last letter (يومَ).
