The student: ... .
The Shaykh : A container full.
The student: Of water.
The Shaykh : What is the attribute of water?
The student: A specification in the genitive case.
The Shaykh : That is not possible, because you have just added the tanwin. "A container full," if you say "a container full of water," that is correct.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What does it mean if you say it? Because, for example, we distinguish between a water container and a cooking pot, so I say: I have, for example, a container full of water, which does not mean I have a container made of water.
The student: I mean this meaning.
The Shaykh : The last one is not acceptable.
The student: Why? Is it in the accusative case as a specification?
The Shaykh : Because the meaning changes. "A container full of water" does not mean "a container full of water," it corrupts the meaning. So if you add it, the meaning changes to what you have is a container full of one of the water containers.
