يذكر المرشح مؤهلاته وحماسه.

This sentence uses verb–subject–object order:

• يذكر = mentions / is mentioning
• المرشح = the candidate
• مؤهلاته وحماسه = his qualifications and his enthusiasm

So it is literally: mentions the-candidate his-qualifications and his-enthusiasm.

Arabic also allows subject-first order, so المرشح يذكر مؤهلاته وحماسه is also correct, but the given sentence is a very normal MSA verb-first pattern.

It can mean either, depending on context.

The verb يذكر comes from ذَكَرَ and can mean:

• to mention
• to remember

In this sentence, because the object is his qualifications and his enthusiasm, the natural meaning is mentions or states, not remembers.

It is also an imperfect verb, so in English it can be translated as:

• mentions
• is mentioning
• sometimes usually mentions

Context decides which English tense sounds best.

Because الـ is the Arabic definite article, meaning the.

So:

• مرشح = candidate
• المرشح = the candidate

Also, المرشح is masculine singular. The feminine form would be المرشحة = the female candidate.

A pronunciation note: since م is a moon letter, the ل in الـ is pronounced clearly here, so it is al-murashshaḥ, not an assimilated form.

Because the verb tells you person, number, and gender, but not the full identity of the subject.

So يذكر by itself can mean he mentions. But adding المرشح tells you exactly who he is: the candidate.

In other words:

• يذكر = he mentions
• يذكر المرشح = the candidate mentions

This is very common in Arabic. The verb gives grammatical information, and the noun gives the actual subject.

مؤهلاته means his qualifications.

It breaks down as:

• مؤهلات = qualifications
• ـه = his

So literally: qualifications-his.

A few useful notes:

• The singular is مؤهل.
• Even without الـ, a noun with a possessive suffix is already definite, so مؤهلاته is definite because it means his qualifications.

حماسه means his enthusiasm.

It breaks down as:

• حماس = enthusiasm
• ـه = his

So the Arabic says literally:

• his qualifications
• and his enthusiasm

Arabic often repeats the possessive suffix on each noun. In natural English, we often say just his qualifications and enthusiasm, without repeating his, but Arabic commonly keeps it on both nouns.

Yes. In normal Arabic writing, the short vowel endings are usually omitted, but they still exist in formal grammar.

A fully vocalized version would be:

يَذْكُرُ المُرَشَّحُ مُؤَهِّلاتِهِ وَحَماسَهُ

Here is what is happening:

• يَذْكُرُ: verb
• المُرَشَّحُ: subject, so it is nominative
• مُؤَهِّلاتِهِ: direct object
• حَماسَهُ: direct object

One advanced point: مؤهلات is a sound feminine plural, and in the accusative/genitive it takes -اتِ. That is why, in full vocalization, you get مؤهلاتِه here.

In everyday reading, you usually rely on context and word order, because these endings are not written.

A careful MSA pronunciation is approximately:

yadhkuru al-murashshaḥu muʾahhilātihi wa ḥamāsahu

Some important sounds:

• ذ in يذكر = like th in this
• ح in المرشح and حماسه = a stronger, breathier h than English
• شّ in المرشح = a doubled sh sound
• ؤ in مؤهلاته represents a hamza (a glottal stop), not a w
• و in وحماسه here is just wa- = and

So you can think of the sentence roughly as:

yadhkuru al-murashshaḥu mu-ʾahhilātihi wa ḥamāsahu

Yes, absolutely.

That version is also grammatical and means the same thing: The candidate mentions his qualifications and enthusiasm.

The difference is mainly in structure and emphasis:

• يذكر المرشح... = verb-first, a very common MSA pattern
• المرشح يذكر... = subject-first, often a little more topic-focused

So both are correct, but the original sentence is a very standard formal Arabic way to say it.
