Questions & Answers about السيرة الذاتية فيها المهارات والخبرة.

What does فيها literally mean, and why is it used here instead of a word meaning has?

فيها is made of:

• في = in
• ها = it / her

So فيها literally means in it.

In Arabic, especially in everyday speech, possession or contents are often expressed this way. So:

• السيرة الذاتية فيها المهارات والخبرة
• literally: The resume, in it are the skills and experience
• naturally: The resume has / contains the skills and experience

So Arabic is using a structure of containment, not a separate verb like English has.

Why is the pronoun in فيها feminine?

Because السيرة الذاتية is grammatically feminine.

The attached pronoun has to agree with the noun it refers to:

• فيه = in it for a masculine noun
• فيها = in it for a feminine noun

Since السيرة is feminine, Arabic uses ها.

Why are both words definite in السيرة الذاتية?

Because الذاتية is describing السيرة, and in Arabic adjectives usually match the noun in definiteness.

So:

• سيرة ذاتية = a resume / a CV
• السيرة الذاتية = the resume / the CV

If the noun has الـ, the adjective usually has it too.
