Questions & Answers about تبرم اتفاقيات مهمة من قبل الحكومة.
How does من قبل work in this sentence?
The phrase مِن قِبَلِ (min qibali) translates to 'by' and is used in Modern Standard Arabic to introduce the explicit agent in a passive sentence. Classical Arabic grammar usually drops the agent entirely when using the passive voice, but modern writing (especially in media and translation) frequently uses this structure to mirror European syntax.
Why is the verb تبرم in the feminine form?
The subject of the passive verb is اتفاقيات (agreements). Because this is a non-human plural, Arabic grammar treats it as feminine singular. As a result, both the verb تُبْرَمُ (tubramu) and the adjective مُهِمَّة (muhimma) take the feminine singular form to agree with it.
What case ending does الحكومة take here and why?
It takes the genitive case, pronounced as الحُكومَةِ (al-hukuumati). The phrase مِن قِبَلِ acts like a preposition followed by an Idafa (possessive construction). The word قِبَلِ is the first term (mudaf), which forces the noun that directly follows it into the genitive case.
What form is the verb تبرم and how is it pronounced here?
It is pronounced تُبْرَمُ (tubramu). This is the present passive of the Form IV verb أَبْرَمَ (abrama, meaning to conclude or ratify). If the sentence were active ('she concludes'), it would be pronounced تُبْرِمُ (tubrimu) with a kasra on the letter Raa instead of a fatha.
