Tarkeeb help

[mospike]

وَلأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَضَع لَهَا الطَّعَامَ وَالشرَابَ ؟


Asalamualykum

Can someone please do the tarkeeb with the arabic translation into english of this sentence

[shajratutooba]

I think brother
The english translation would be
Then what for(why) are you placing for (before) them food and drink.
This is a nominal sentence with predicate placed before the subject.( Jumla ismiya with khabar muqadam) .The subject or mubtada is Atuam wa sharab and predicate which has been placed in front (khabar muqadam) is Tada u laha li ayi shai.

[Sparkles]

tada'u..... means you are placing... It's a present tense verb. Anta (you) would be the faail (subject) for this verb. i.e. Ebrahim A.S. referring to his father.

ta,aama wa sharaaba.... means food and drink.... It's the mafool (object).

I don't think food and drink is the mubtada.

[Sparkles]

Yes, brother Ahsan irfan, you have explained it clearly. It seems correct to me, but I could be wrong too.

[Hamood]

This isn't the right way to learn nahw / tarkib. One should attempt it on his own and have his teacher look at it and correct him in case he made any mistakes, similarly before posting on the forums, it would be advised to at least post your tarkib before asking others to attempt it. : )

Thats a bit harsh sunnilink......

anyway i have done the first 2 stories tarkeeb with my teacher, and then we took a break to do more laws of Nahwa.

So in the interest of continuity in the meantime i am going ahead with the translation of the next story which is Nasiha't Ebrahim. Thus my posting the sentence with which i am having difficulty

My problem is with the first part of the sentecnce and not At Ta'aam wa Sharaab

lets do this

وَلأَيِّ = And for what

شَيْءٍ = Reason

تَضَع = To Put

لَهَا = For the

الطَّعَامَ وَالشرَابَ = Food and Drink
