Questions & Answers about كرس الفريق نفسه للمشروع، وعزز مهاراته كل التعزيز.
How does كل التعزيز translate to 'completely' in this sentence?
This uses the Deputy Cognate Accusative. Instead of repeating the verb's noun directly in the accusative case (which would be عزز تعزيزا), we place the word كل in the accusative case (كلَّ) and follow it with the definite verbal noun in the genitive case (التعزيزِ). This structure emphasizes that the strengthening was done to the absolute maximum degree.
Why does the direct object مهاراته take a kasra sound before the pronoun instead of a fatha?
The word مهارات (skills) is a sound feminine plural, indicated by the ـات ending. A special rule for sound feminine plurals is that they take a kasra instead of a fatha when they are in the accusative case. Because it is the direct object of the verb عزز, it must be accusative, resulting in مهاراتِـ before the attached pronoun.
How is the reflexive 'itself' formed using نفسه here?
The noun نفس translates to 'self' or 'soul'. To say 'himself', 'herself', or 'itself', you attach the matching possessive pronoun suffix. Because الفريق (the team) is grammatically masculine singular, we attach the masculine singular suffix ـه. It takes a fatha on the seen (نفسَهُ) because it is the direct object of the verb كرس.
What pattern do the verbs كرس and عزز share, and how does it relate to the final word التعزيز?
Both are Form II verbs, which are created by doubling the middle root letter and often carry an intensive or causative meaning. A great way to recognize a Form II verb is by its verbal noun pattern, which almost always starts with تـ and has a ـيـ before the last letter. That is exactly what we see in التعزيز, confirming it is the verbal noun of عزز.
