Indefinite Nouns — The Indefinite Article

The Indefinite Article in Arabic

In Arabic a noun is indefinite by the mere absence of the definite article; there is no indefinite article in Arabic like there is in English. So, there is no equivalent for "a". To translate "a boy" for example, we would use only the Arabic equivalent of "boy", leaving out the "a", for which there is no equivalent.

The following are examples of indefinite nouns: 

Each of the above nouns ends with double vowels (called tanween).

NOTE
The double vowel can be considered as the "indefinite article" of the Arabic language; similarly to the English "a" it is a vowel, but on the contrary, it comes at the end of a word.
