التعويض في الرسالة، والشركة تعوض صديقي.

In Arabic, a present-tense sentence often does not use a separate word for is / are.

So:

• التعويضُ = the compensation
• في الرسالةِ = in the message/letter

Together, they make a normal nominal sentence: The compensation is in the message.

This is very common in Arabic. If you wanted was, you would usually use كان. In the present tense, Arabic normally just leaves the is unstated.

التعويض is a noun, not a verb. More specifically, it is the verbal noun (called a maṣdar) of the verb عوَّضَ.

So it names the action or concept itself:

• عوَّضَ = to compensate
• التعويض = compensation / compensating

Because it has الـ, it is definite: the compensation.

Because the subject الشركة is grammatically feminine singular.

In the present tense, a third-person feminine singular verb usually begins with تـ. So here تعوض is read as تُعَوِّضُ = it compensates.

That means:

• الشركة تُعَوِّضُ = the company compensates

This verb is from the same family as التعويض.

Arabic usually leaves out short vowels in normal writing, so تعوض can look ambiguous by itself. Context tells you how to read it.

Here, the context helps a lot:

• the subject is الشركة = the company
• the meaning given is about compensating
• the related noun التعويض points to the verb عوَّضَ

So the intended reading is تُعَوِّضُ.

This is very normal in Arabic: you often depend on grammar and context, not just spelling.

في is a preposition meaning in. After a preposition, the following noun is in the genitive case.

So:

• في الرسالةِ = in the message/letter

With full case ending, it is الرسالةِ.

This whole phrase is a prepositional phrase. In the first clause, it works as the predicate: is in the message.

Arabic can use more than one word order.

Two common patterns are:

• verb + subject + object
• subject + verb + object

Here you have:

• والشركة تعوض صديقي

This is a subject-first order. It is completely normal. It can sound a little more topical or slightly more emphatic about the company.

A verb-first version would also be possible:

• وتعوض الشركة صديقي

Both are grammatical.

The ending -ي means my.

So:

• صديق = friend
• صديقي = my friend

This is a noun with an attached possessive suffix.

In this sentence, صديقي is the direct object of the verb تعوض. Even though it is the object, its spelling does not change here in an obvious way, because nouns with the -ي suffix do not show the usual case endings clearly in normal writing.

In all three definite nouns here, the ل of الـ is assimilated because the next letter is a sun letter.

So the pronunciation is:

• التعويض → at-taʿwīḍ
• الرسالة → ar-risāla
• الشركة → ash-sharika

Important: the spelling still keeps الـ, but the pronunciation changes.

A fully vocalized version is:

التَّعْوِيضُ فِي الرِّسَالَةِ، وَالشَّرِكَةُ تُعَوِّضُ صَدِيقِي.

A transliteration would be:

at-taʿwīḍu fī r-risālati, wa-sh-sharikatu tuʿawwiḍu ṣadīqī.

In normal modern writing, these short vowels are usually omitted.

A simple way to analyze it is:

First clause

• التعويضُ = subject/topic
• في الرسالةِ = predicate

Second clause

• الشركةُ = subject
• تُعَوِّضُ = verb
• صديقي = direct object

So the sentence shows two useful Arabic patterns:

• a clause with no written is
• a clause with a present-tense verb

The real grammatical connector is و, which means and.

The comma is just modern punctuation. It helps the reader see a pause or separation between the two clauses.

So:

• و = part of the grammar
• ، = part of the punctuation

You will often see both together in modern Arabic writing.
