الستارة والسجادة في غرفة المعيشة.

Yes. In Arabic, this is a normal nominal sentence.

• الستارة والسجادة = the subject/topic
• في غرفة المعيشة = the predicate/comment

Arabic often leaves out the present-tense verb to be. So the sentence naturally means:

• The curtain and the carpet are in the living room.

This is very common in both Modern Standard Arabic and everyday Arabic.

Because both nouns are definite.

• الستارة = the curtain
• السجادة = the carpet/rug

In Arabic, when you join two nouns with و (and), each noun usually keeps its own definite article if both are definite.

So Arabic says:

• الستارة والسجادة
• literally: the curtain and the carpet

It does not normally work like the curtain and carpet in English.

و means and.

It connects الستارة and السجادة into one coordinated subject:

• الستارة والسجادة = the curtain and the carpet

This is one of the most common words in Arabic, and it is attached directly to the next word in writing.

Because غرفة المعيشة is an iḍāfa construction, often called a possessive or annexation structure.

It works like this:

• غرفة = room
• المعيشة = the living / the act of living

Together:

• غرفة المعيشة = the living room

In an iḍāfa:

1. the first noun usually does not take الـ
2. the second noun often carries the definiteness

So غرفة المعيشة is definite overall, even though غرفة itself has no الـ.

Because غرفة is the first word of an iḍāfa construction.

The first noun in iḍāfa:

• does not take الـ
• does not take tanwīn

So you get:

• غرفة المعيشة

not:

• غرفةٌ المعيشة
• الغرفة المعيشة when you mean the fixed expression living room

This is an important pattern to recognize.

في is a preposition meaning in.

So:

• في غرفة المعيشة = in the living room

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

In full vowelled Arabic, you would see that in:

• غرفةِ المعيشةِ

In normal unvowelled writing, those case endings are usually not shown.

A fully vowelled version would usually be:

السِّتارَةُ وَالسَّجّادَةُ في غُرْفَةِ المَعيشَةِ

A quick breakdown:

• السِّتارَةُ: nominative, because it is part of the subject
• وَالسَّجّادَةُ: also nominative
• في غُرْفَةِ: غرفة is genitive after في
• المَعيشَةِ: genitive because it is the second part of the iḍāfa

In everyday printed Arabic, these short vowels are normally omitted.

Good question. This is the sun-letter / moon-letter rule.

In:

• الستارة
• السجادة

the ل of الـ is not pronounced, because س is a sun letter. So they sound like:

• as-sitārah
• as-sajjādah

But in:

• المعيشة

the ل is pronounced, because م is a moon letter:

• al-maʿīshah

So the written form always has الـ, but the pronunciation changes depending on the next letter.

Yes, they are feminine:

• ستارة
• سجادة
• غرفة

A common clue is the ـة ending, called tāʾ marbūṭa.

In this particular sentence, gender does not change much because there is no adjective or verb showing agreement in the written form. But it would matter in other sentences. For example:

• الستارة جميلة = The curtain is beautiful
• السجادة نظيفة = The carpet is clean

The adjective matches the noun in gender.

Yes, Arabic allows that.

You could say:

في غرفة المعيشة الستارة والسجادة

This would still be understandable, but it sounds more marked or emphatic, something like:

• In the living room are the curtain and the carpet

The version you were given:

الستارة والسجادة في غرفة المعيشة

is a very straightforward, neutral order for learners.

It can mean either carpet or rug, depending on context.

In Modern Standard Arabic:

• سجادة often refers to a rug or carpet
• context tells you whether it is a large carpet, a smaller rug, or even a prayer rug in some cases

So if the meaning shown to you was carpet, that is perfectly normal. In another context, rug might also be a natural translation.
