Easy Arabic Grammar Lesson 54
with Saad ibn Sabah
Laam Of Emphasis / Inna + La combination
*Today's topic - Inna + La*
Yesterday we learnt that Inna shows it's effect on any of ism in the sentence.
That the ism upon which the effect is seen (ism turned into Case 2) is emphasised in the sentence.
But now,
Even though it may sound strange for English,
In Arabic it is possible to add double or triple degree of emphasis on an ism.
What it means is...
Indeed he is Allah
Indeed! indeed! he is Allah
This is where we learn the combination of Inna and La لَ
Inna Saadan Tayyibun
Indeed *Saad* is good
Saad is in case 2,
So effect of Inna is shown on saad
------
Then, it is also possible to say,
Inna LaSaadan Tayyibun
Indeed, Indeed Saad is good
The effect of Inna is falling on Saad, and the effect becomes double with the use of La on Saad as well
اِنَّ لَسَعدًا طَيَّبٌ
Inna LaSaadan Tayyibun
This double emphasis is very common in Quran
Now this Inna + La combination can be used in another way too
What if I want to put effect on Inna on both Saad and Good
Indeed Saad is good
I want to emphasise both Saad as well as good
For that we simple write it like this,
Inna Saadan LaTayyibun
Or
Inna LaSaadun Tayyiban
You noticed?
In this we divided the effect of Inna (case 2) on one ism, and put La on another ism..
So both Saad and Good is emphasised
-------
One final thing about this Inna + La combination
La/Li = For (Harf of Case 3)
So if, you find a "La"
And the next ism is in Case 3,
Then this La means For
And if La is followed by Case 2 or Case 2, then this La must be in combination with Inna.
(La is also used with Verbs and then it has different meaning)
Sorry, one more last thing needs to be told
Indeed, indeed Saad is in house
Inna Saadan *La Fi Baytin*
It will not be
Inna Saadan *Fi La Baytin*
Means... When there is a preposition before an ism... Then La has to be used before preposition.
Why?
Because, if it was,
Inna Saadan Fi La Baytin
How would you know whether this La means For or it's the La of Inna?
Because Baytin is case 3.
How are we gonna know if Baytin is in case 3 under the effect of Fi or La?
So it remove this confusion, grammar simply puts
Inna + ism + La + Preposition + Ism
