Discussion on the Signs of the Genitive Case

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The genitive case occurs in three places: in the five masculine nouns, in the dual, and in the plural. We need an example of the five masculine nouns in the genitive case.
The student: For the five masculine nouns.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: I passed by your brother.

The Shaykh : In the Qur'an
Return to your father ارجعوا إلى أبيكم
Now, parse "to your father."
The student: "To" is a preposition, and "your father" is "father."

The Shaykh : What do you say about "your father"?
The student: "Father."

The Shaykh : "Father" is a noun in the genitive case.
The student: By the preposition.

The Shaykh : By "to," and its sign of the genitive case is...
The student: The kasrah in place of...

The Shaykh : How? Its sign of the genitive case is...
The student: And its sign of the genitive case is the yaa in place of the kasrah.

The Shaykh : The yaa in place of the kasrah because...
The student: Because it is one of the five masculine nouns.

The Shaykh : Yes, what is the need for the name? Because it is one of the five masculine nouns. Yes, good. "Father" is attached to something.
The student: Attached, and attached to it.

The Shaykh : Well done. Give me a dual in the genitive case. The brother, yes, that's right.
The student: A dual in the genitive case.

The Shaykh : Yes. What do you have? Isa.
The student: I prayed with two men.

The Shaykh : Give me a preposition from the prepositions.
The student: With.

The Shaykh : What is it from the prepositions? With.
The student: I passed by two men.

The Shaykh : I passed by two men. Parse "by two men."
The student: "Two men" is a preposition and a noun in the genitive case.

The Shaykh : a section.
The student: "Ba" is a preposition, and "two men" is in the genitive case by "ba," and its sign of the genitive case is the yaa.

The Shaykh : A noun in the genitive case by "ba," and its sign of the genitive case is...
The student: The yaa in place of the kasrah.

The Shaykh : Because it is.
The student: Because it is a dual.

The Shaykh : A dual, and the noon. They say about it that the noon is a substitute for the tanween in the singular noun. The noon is a substitute for the tanween in the singular noun. Good, the plural. The brother, the plural.
The student: Genitive.

The Shaykh : Yes, that's right. A sound masculine plural in the genitive case.
The student: I passed by teachers.

The Shaykh : I passed by the teachers. Parse "the teachers."
The student: "The teachers." "Ba" is a preposition, built on the kasrah, with no grammatical position. "The teachers" is a noun in the genitive case by "ba," and its sign of the genitive case is the yaa in place of the kasrah because it is a sound masculine plural.

The Shaykh : The yaa in place of...
The student: In place of the kasrah because it is a sound masculine plural.

The Shaykh : A sound masculine plural. And the noon?
The student: And the noon is a substitute for the tanween in the singular.

The Shaykh : In the singular noun. Is it clear, everyone? Shall we move on?
