FuSHa to Shami Series #14: Possession and iDaafe

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. Expressing possession in Levantine Arabic (Shami) builds directly on the foundational rules of Modern Standard Arabic (FuSHa), but removes complex case endings (I3raab) and nunation (Tanwiin).
