FuSHa to Shami Series #5: Adjectives

Editor’s Note & Disclaimer: The core content and linguistic structure of this lesson were originally authored by Chris Hitchcock for the Team Maha website. This post is part of an effort to preserve, organize, and share these invaluable resources for Arabic learners worldwide. Adjectives in Levantine Arabic (Shami) function similarly to their FuSHa equivalents, but with simpler inflections and more flexible word-order rules. In this lesson, we will explore gender and plural formations for adjectives, agreement with dual and plural nouns, modifying adverbs, comparative and superlative structures, and negation.
