Present Tense (2nd Group)
The second conugation group consists of all verbs composed from 3 letters (two consonants separated by the vowel A)
We still keep the same prefixes and suffixes used for the first conjugation group but what makes this group different to the first one is the changes occuring in the level of the vowel A. This latter is transformed into "OU" or " I" depending on the verb. (must be learned by heart)

Possession 1 - Possessive Adjectives
To express possession, you only need to add the appropriate endings to the word:
Possessive Adjectives | Endings | Example "ktab" | Translation |
My | i | ktabi | My book |
Your | k | ktabk | Your book |
His | o | ktabo | His book |
Her | ha | ktabha | Her book |
Our | na | ktabna | Our book |
Your | kom | ktabkom | Your book |
Their | hom | ktabhom | Their book |
For words ending with (a) -generally feminine words- you take away the (a), replace it with (t) and apply the same endings.
Possessive Adjectives | Endings | Example "mdina" | Translation |
My | i | mdinti | My city |
Your | k | mdintk | Your city |
His | o | mdinto | His city |
Her | ha | mdint-ha | Her city |
Our | na | mdintna | Our city |
Your | kom | mdintkom | Your city |
Their | hom | mdint-hom | Their city |
*Reminder: The dash (-) is used not to mix up the letters t and h that must be pronounced separately, and not such as a th.
Exceptions
The endings of (my) and (his) can be slightly changed when the word ends with another vowel, other than the (a) of feminine words. These endings become (ya) and (h) instead of (i) and (o). For expample : My brother = khoya خويا ; His brother = khoh خوه.
Fortunately, there are very few exceptions.
