Questions & Answers about ورشة الفخار فيها دولاب الفخار وفرن الفخار.
What does فيها mean in this sentence?
فيها is made of two parts:
- في = in
- ها = it / her
So فيها literally means in it or in her. Here it refers back to ورشة because ورشة is a feminine noun in Arabic.
In this sentence, فيها works very naturally as it has or there is/there are in it.
Why is it فيها and not فيه?
Because ورشة is grammatically feminine.
In Egyptian Arabic:
- فيه = in it / there is for a masculine thing
- فيها = in it / there is for a feminine thing
Since ورشة is feminine, the sentence uses فيها.
Why is there no separate word for is/are here?
