ترى الابنة المحامي.

Because the subject is الابنة (the daughter), which is singular feminine. In Arabic, the verb agrees with the subject in person and gender, so here you get the 3rd-person feminine singular form ترى.

A useful comparison:

• يرى = he sees
• ترى = she sees

Also note that the same spelling ترى can have another meaning in other contexts: you see (addressing one male).

The verb رأى (to see) is a bit irregular in the present/imperfect tense.

Its common imperfect forms are:

• أرى = I see
• ترى = she sees / you see (m.sg.)
• يرى = he sees
• نرى = we see

So the hamza you see in the past-tense dictionary form رأى does not stay visible in these present-tense forms. This is something learners usually just memorize.

Arabic often does not need an explicit subject pronoun, because the verb itself already contains that information.

So in ترى, the idea of she is already built into the verb. The noun الابنة is then added as the explicit subject: the daughter.

This is very normal in Arabic. English usually needs a subject pronoun; Arabic often does not.

In fully vocalized MSA, the case endings show this:

• الابنةُ = nominative → subject
• المحاميَ = accusative → direct object

So the fully marked sentence is:

ترى الابنةُ المحاميَ

In normal Arabic writing, these short vowel endings are usually omitted, so readers rely on context and grammar.

Yes, you could.

Arabic commonly allows both:

• ترى الابنة المحامي = verb first
• الابنة ترى المحامي = subject first

The first pattern is a very normal verbal sentence in MSA. The second is also correct and can feel a bit more subject-focused or topic-focused.

So both are grammatical; the choice is often about style, emphasis, or discourse flow.

That ي is part of the noun itself. The word محامٍ / المحامي means lawyer.

It belongs to a noun type often called manqūṣ, which commonly ends in -ī / yāʾ. Because of that, its case endings do not always look or sound like those of more regular nouns.

Here, as a direct object, the fully vocalized form is:

المحاميَ

But in ordinary writing, you will usually just see:

المحامي

So the final ي is not a pronoun like my or his here; it is simply part of the word lawyer.

The final ة is called tāʾ marbūṭa. It is a very common marker of feminine nouns.

So الابنة is feminine partly because of its meaning and also because of this ending.

A pronunciation note:

• in pause, it is usually heard like -a / -ah
• when grammatical endings are pronounced, the t sound reappears

So:

• الابنة in pause
• الابنةُ with a case ending

Yes. Written without vowels, ترى can be read as either:

• she sees
• you see (to one male)

That is very common in Arabic: one written form can match more than one grammatical reading.

In real texts, context usually makes the meaning clear. In a fully vocalized sentence, the surrounding grammar also helps show which reading is intended.

No.

Two common words are:

• ابنة = daughter, more formal/bookish in MSA
• بنت = daughter/girl, also very common and often more everyday

So الابنة is perfectly correct, but you should also recognize البنت as a very common alternative.

Because الـ is the Arabic definite article, like English the.

So:

• الابنة = the daughter
• المحامي = the lawyer

Arabic does not have a separate word like English a/an. Indefiniteness is usually shown by not using الـ, often together with tanwīn/case marking in fully vocalized text.
