المبني للمعلوم
1 post
In Arabic grammar, المبني للمعلوم (Al-Mabni lil-Ma’loom) refers to the “active voice.” It indicates that the subject of the sentence is performing the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence كتبَ الطالبُ الدرسَ (kataba al-talib al-dars), meaning “the student wrote the lesson”, the verb كتبَ (kataba) is in the active voice because the subject (the student) is performing the action.
