The Relative Pronouns

 

            The Relative Pronouns are used as conjunctions, meaning "that, which, who, whom". They serve the purpose of joining nouns, pronouns or verbs to other nouns or verbs. They are used to introduce subordinate adjectival clauses and therefore create complex sentences. The choice of such pronouns depends on the antecedent's number and gender.

          "A noun of the connected [الاسم الموصول]". Being nouns, relative pronouns have the characteristics of nouns, namely gender, number, and grammatical case. Relative pronouns are always definite words.

            Its usage has two specific rules: it agrees with the antecedent in gender, number and case, and it is used only if the antecedent is definite. If the antecedent is indefinite, no relative pronoun is used. The former is called jumlat sila (conjunctive sentence) while the latter is called jumlat sifa (descriptive sentence).

    الذي     is used for masculine singular.

        التي is used for feminine singular.

    اللواتي  is used for feminine plural.

     الذينَ   is used for masculine plural.

     

                   a. If the antecedent is part of the subject phrase, the relative clause is                             embedded inside the main sentence.

الرَّجُلُ الذي سألَ عَنها هُنا.

         b. If the antecedent is part of the object phrase/predicate, then the relative                                 close follows the main sentence.

 

قابَلتُ الرَّجُلَ الذي سألَ عَنها.    

 

                   c. If the antecedent is indefinite, you do not need to use a relative pronoun.

قابَلتُ رَجَُلا ً سألَ عَنها.    

 

                   d. Sometimes you will encounter a sentence with a relative pronoun and a                                  relative clause, in which the antecedent is absent, but still understood. [Refer 6:79]

 

الذي دَرَّسَني العَربيَّة َ اُستاذ ٌ مصريٌّ.

    Originally, this sentence is:

    (الأستاذ ُ) الذي دَرَّسَني العَربيَّة َ اُستاذ ٌ مصريٌّ.
