في شقتي نافذة قرب الشرفة، وأقرأ هناك في الصباح.

Starting with في شقتي puts the location first: In my apartment ... This is very common in Arabic when introducing the existence of something in a place.

So:

• في شقتي نافذة = In my apartment, there is a window
• This feels natural for presenting new information.

If you started with نافذة, the sentence would feel more like you are talking about the window itself as the topic.

In Arabic, you often do not need a separate word for there is in this kind of sentence.

Arabic can express this idea with:

• a place phrase + an indefinite noun

So:

• في شقتي نافذة literally looks like In my apartment [is] a window
• natural English translation: There is a window in my apartment

You could also say توجد نافذة for there is a window, but it is not necessary here.

شقتي means my apartment.

It breaks down as:

• شقة = apartment
• -ي = my

So:

• شقتي = my apartment

A useful detail: when a noun ending in ة takes a suffix like -ي, that ة is pronounced as t:

• شقة → شقتي
• pronounced roughly shaqqatī

نافذة is indefinite, so it means a window, not the window.

That fits the meaning here, because the sentence is introducing the window as new information:

• في شقتي نافذة = There is a window in my apartment

If you said النافذة, you would be referring to a specific window already known from context:

• في شقتي النافذة would not be the natural way to say this meaning

So the indefinite form is important here.

Yes, for a learner it is very helpful to treat قرب as meaning near.

So:

• قرب الشرفة = near the balcony

Grammatically, قرب is often analyzed as a noun/locative expression meaning nearness of, but in practice it works very much like a preposition in sentences like this.

Here it describes where the window is:

• نافذة قرب الشرفة = a window near the balcony

Because الشرفة means the balcony.

The speaker is referring to a specific balcony, not just any balcony. In context, this usually means the balcony belonging to the apartment or a balcony already understood by the listener.

So:

• قرب الشرفة = near the balcony
• not near a balcony

In this sentence, قرب الشرفة describes نافذة.

So the first clause is:

• في شقتي نافذة قرب الشرفة
• In my apartment, there is a window near the balcony

Then the second clause begins:

• وأقرأ هناك في الصباح
• and I read there in the morning

So the structure is:

1. there is a window near the balcony
2. I read there in the morning

The comma and the meaning help make this clear.

وأقرأ breaks down into:

• و = and
• أقرأ = I read / I am reading

The أ at the beginning of أقرأ marks first person singular in the present/imperfect tense.

So:

• أقرأ = I read
• وأقرأ = and I read

Here هناك means there.

It refers back to the place already mentioned, probably the area by the window / near the balcony.

So:

• وأقرأ هناك = and I read there

It saves you from repeating the location again.

Because Arabic, like English, often uses a word like there to refer back to a previously mentioned place.

Compare in English:

• There is a window near the balcony, and I read there in the morning.

Arabic is doing the same thing:

• first it introduces the place
• then it refers back to it with هناك

Without هناك, the sentence would still be possible, but the location of the reading would be less explicit.

Both can be correct, but they feel slightly different.

• في الصباح = in the morning
• صباحًا = in the morning / mornings, used adverbially

In this sentence, في الصباح is a very clear and straightforward time expression.

So:

• وأقرأ هناك في الصباح = and I read there in the morning

If you used صباحًا, the sentence would still make sense, but the style would be a little different.

A fully vowelled version would be:

فِي شَقَّتِي نافِذَةٌ قُرْبَ الشُّرْفَةِ، وَأَقْرَأُ هُناكَ فِي الصَّباحِ.

A rough pronunciation is:

fī shaqqatī nāfiḏatun qurbash-shurfati, wa-aqraʾu hunāka fīṣ-ṣabāḥi

A few notes:

• نافذةٌ has -un because it is indefinite and nominative
• قربَ is pronounced with -a
• الشرفةِ has -i
• أقرأُ ends in -u in full formal pronunciation

In everyday reading and speaking, many case endings are not fully pronounced, but it is still useful to know them in MSA.
