Questions & Answers about نحتاج إلى توازن عقلي لكي نعمل جيدا.
Why must the verb نعمل be in the subjunctive mood here?
It follows لكي (in order to). Particles like أن and لكي force the following present tense verb into the subjunctive mood (mansub). With full vowels, it is pronounced na'mala instead of the default na'malu.
The word for balance, توازن, shares a root with the word for weight (و ز ن). How does this form create that meaning?
It is the verbal noun (masdar) of a Form VI verb. Form VI verbs usually describe reciprocal actions or states where multiple elements interact. The idea of elements weighing equally against one another creates the concept of balance.
Why is the preposition إلى used directly after نحتاج?
While English speakers just say they need something directly, the Arabic verb احتاج requires the preposition إلى to connect to its object.
