Questions & Answers about فريقنا ربح.
Why is there no ال on فريقنا?
Because فريقنا already includes a possessive ending: -نا means our.
In Arabic, a noun with a possessive suffix is automatically definite, so you do not add ال.
So:
- فريق = a team / team
- فريقنا = our team

What does -نا mean exactly?
-نا is the attached pronoun meaning our.
So فريقنا breaks down as:
- فريق = team
- نا = our
Together: our team.
This is a very common Arabic pattern. For example:
- بيتنا = our house
- كتابنا = our book
- صاحبنا = our friend
