Questions & Answers about يمنح العلاج الشمولي صفاء ذهنيا وجسديا.
Why doesn't صفاء (serenity) have an extra alif added to the end for the accusative case, unlike ذهنيا?
The verb يمنح (grants) is a 'verb of giving'. Doesn't it usually require two objects?
Yes, verbs of giving like منح (to grant) and أعطى (to give) typically take two direct objects: the recipient and the thing given. However, when making a broad, general statement where the recipient is universal (like 'people'), the first object is often omitted. Here, only the second object, صفاء, is explicitly stated.
How is the adjective الشمولي (holistic) formed?
It is a relational adjective (a 'nisba' adjective) formed from the noun شمول (comprehensiveness), which comes from the root ش م ل (to include or contain). By adding the ـي suffix, it becomes شمولي, which translates to comprehensive or, in medical and therapeutic contexts, holistic.
صفاء is translated here as 'serenity'. What is its core, literal meaning?
