فِي:  ظرف مكان Preposition.     

[in, into, among, within, about, concerning]

It is said by the Grammarians to be used to indicate space and time.

2) Sometimes equivalent in meaning to "" with or among.

It is utilized for adverbial meanings.

  • The following rules are applied for the use of prepositions:

1.  A preposition ("حرف الْجر" - called harf ul jar in Arabic) is a single letter or a word which connects two nouns, or a verb and a noun to form a sentence.  As above this is generally showing the position of one word to another. It always precedes a word and never follows the word.

2.  A preposition always comes before a noun and it does not come before a verb.

3.  The noun following a preposition is changed from nominative case to the genitive case.  This means that the last letter of the word will be changed from a dammah or dammatain to a kasra or kasratain.

4.  The noun followed by a preposition is called Majroor " مَجْرُور" which means the preposition has caused a change in its case from nominative to genitive case.  as mentioned in the previous rule.

Let us look at an example‌ ‍‌‌(please read from left to right):

Phrase (preposition before word)

Word without preposition:

 Preposition:  

فِي البَيْتِ

البَيْتُ

 فِي Arabic:
In the house The house In English:

We can see here that the preposition has caused the last letter of   to change to  تِ تُ
 

5.  When a proposition precedes an indefinite noun (e.g. "a house"), the noun is affected in the same way.  As we learnt earlier, a noun which is indefinite takes two dammahs (dammatain) - it is also in the nominative case.   The two dammahs change to two kasrahs (kasratain) when a preposition comes before the noun .  Let us examine the example as above with relation to an indefinite noun:

Phrase (preposition before word) Word without preposition: Preposition:  

فِي بَيْتٍ

بَيْتٌ

 فِي Arabic:
In a house A house In English:

  •  

  • In Arabic language when it is required to make a noun definite, ال is added to that noun. You have also learnt in the previous lessons about the solar and the lunar letters.

    However when a preposition comes before a definite word the alif - i.e. "a" sound - of     ال is dropped and hence not pronounced. Please note that the "a" of "al" is pronounced only when it is not preceded by any other word but when "al" is preceded by any word the letter "a" is dropped and hence not pronounced.

    So we will read the sentence as Fil Baitee and not Fee Al baitee but this rule is applicable in reading only and not while writing the sentence - i.e. the alif will still be written but not pronounced in spoken language.
