Questions & Answers about هذه عيادة جديدة.
Because عيادة is a feminine singular noun, and the demonstrative this must match it in gender.
- هذا = this for masculine singular
- هذه = this for feminine singular
So with عيادة (clinic), you say هذه.
In Arabic, the verb to be is usually not stated in the present tense when you have a simple sentence like This is a new clinic.
So:
- هذه عيادة جديدة literally looks like this clinic new
- but it means This is a new clinic
This kind of sentence is called a nominal sentence in Arabic.
Because in Arabic, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.
So:
- عيادة جديدة = a new clinic
- literally: clinic new
This is the normal order in Arabic, unlike English.
