تقرأ طوال الرحلة.

In Arabic, the verb itself often already tells you the subject.

تقرأ is an imperfect verb form that can mean:

• she reads
• you read (addressing one masculine singular person)

So Arabic does not need a separate pronoun here unless the speaker wants extra emphasis or clarity.

It can mean both, depending on context.

In normal unvoweled writing, تقرأ is ambiguous. It can represent:

• she reads = taqraʾu
• you (masc. singular) read = taqraʾu

The two forms look the same here. Only context tells you which one is meant.

It is in the imperfect form, which usually covers:

• present: reads / is reading
• habitual present: usually reads
• sometimes future, if context supports that

So depending on context, تقرأ طوال الرحلة could mean something like:

• She reads throughout the trip
• She is reading throughout the trip
• You read throughout the trip

Arabic does not divide present simple and present continuous as sharply as English does.

A common pronunciation is taqraʾu.

Breakdown:

• تـ = ta
• ق = q (a deep k-like sound)
• ر = r
• أ = a hamza, a glottal stop, so there is a little catch in the voice: qraʾ
• final short vowel -u is usually not written in ordinary text

So in fully vowelled form, it would typically be تَقْرَأُ.

Because the verb comes from the root ق ر أ, the root of reading.

That final radical is hamza. So when the verb is conjugated, the hamza remains part of the word:

• قرأ = he read
• يقرأ = he reads
• تقرأ = she reads / you read

This is why the word is not spelled like a regular three-consonant verb without hamza.

طوال here means throughout, all through, or for the whole duration of.

Grammatically, it is often treated as a noun used adverbially in an iḍāfa construction:

• طوال الرحلة
• literally something like the whole length of the trip

So it functions a bit like an adverbial expression of time.

Because طوال الرحلة is an iḍāfa construction.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun is the mudāf
• the second noun is the mudāf ilayh, and it is genitive

Here:

• طوال = first part
• الرحلة = second part, so it is genitive

In fully vowelled Arabic, you would expect:

• طِوالَ الرِّحْلَةِ or a similar case-marked form depending on analysis and sentence context

In ordinary writing, the short case endings are usually omitted.

الرحلة means the trip / the journey, so ال is the definite article the.

Because ر is a sun letter, the l of ال is not pronounced clearly. Instead, the r is doubled in pronunciation.

So الرحلة is pronounced roughly:

• ar-riḥlah

not:

• al-riḥlah

This is a very common pronunciation pattern in Arabic.

Yes, depending on the nuance.

Some alternatives are:

• خلال الرحلة = during the trip
• في أثناء الرحلة = during the trip
• طيلة الرحلة = throughout the trip

But طوال الرحلة emphasizes the idea of the whole duration of the trip, not just some time within it.

Arabic can omit the object when it is:

• obvious from context
• unknown
• unimportant
• meant generally

So تقرأ طوال الرحلة can simply mean:

• She reads throughout the trip
• You read throughout the trip

without saying what is being read. English can do this too: She reads all the time.

Yes, رحلة is a feminine noun.

You can often tell because it ends with ـة (tāʾ marbūṭa).

In this sentence, that does not affect the form of تقرأ, because الرحلة is not the subject. The subject is hidden inside the verb:

• she or
• you (masculine singular)

So الرحلة is just part of the time expression طوال الرحلة.

The sentence is:

• تقرأ = verb
• طوال الرحلة = adverbial phrase of time

So the structure is basically:

Verb + time expression

This is a very natural Arabic pattern. Arabic often starts verbal sentences with the verb, especially in straightforward narration or description.
