Questions & Answers about النتيجة تعادل.
Why is النتيجة pronounced an-natīja, not al-natīja?
Because ن is a sun letter. In Arabic, when الـ comes before a sun letter, the l sound is not pronounced; it assimilates to the next consonant.
So:
- النتيجة
- written with ال
- pronounced an-natīja
The spelling does not change, only the pronunciation.
Is النتيجة feminine? How can I tell?
Yes, النتيجة is feminine.
A big clue is the ending ة (taa marbūṭa), which very often marks feminine nouns in Arabic. Because it is feminine, words that describe it as an adjective, or verbs referring to it, normally appear in the feminine singular form.
What does الـ in النتيجة mean?
الـ is the Arabic definite article, equivalent to the in English.
So نتيجة means result/outcome, and النتيجة means the result.
