Questions & Answers about اركن سيارتك في الأماكن المسموح بها.
Why is the phrase بها needed after المسموح?
The verb سمح (to permit) takes the preposition بـ to indicate what is permitted. When changing it to the passive participle المسموح (the permitted), the preposition must stay and attach to a pronoun referring back to the noun. The pronoun ها refers back to the non-human plural الأماكن.
Why is المسموح in the masculine singular form instead of matching the feminine singular الأماكن?
This is a special grammar rule. When a passive participle is derived from a verb that uses a preposition (like سمح بـ), the participle itself locks into the default masculine singular form. The agreement with the feminine singular noun الأماكن is handled completely by the attached pronoun in بها.
What is the root and pattern of the word المسموح?
It comes from the root س-م-ح on the pattern of مَفْعول (maf'ul), which is the standard pattern for passive participles of Form I verbs. This pattern changes the active meaning 'to permit' into the passive 'permitted'.
Is the imperative verb اركن written with a regular hamza?
No, Form I imperative verbs begin with a 'hamzat wasl' (a connective alif), not a regular hamza. This means the starting vowel is only pronounced if you are starting a sentence with this word. If there were a word before it, you would blend the sounds and skip the first vowel entirely.
