LinguaRoom by room
| Room | What is there |
|---|---|
| الْمَطْبَخ | ثَلَّاجَة، فُرْن |
| غُرْفَةُ النَّوْمِ | سَرِير، خِزَانَة |
| غُرْفَةُ الْجُلُوسِ | أَرِيكَة، سَجَّادَة، مِصْبَاح |

Where things are: a word of place and the noun in -i (عَلَى الرَّفِّ, تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ), or the little word with a pronoun ending (فِيهِ, عَلَيْهَا). Floors are counted with طَابِق and a masculine ordinal.
الْقِطَّةُ تَحْتَ الطَّاوِلَةِ، وَالْكِتَابُ عَلَيْهَا.The cat is under the table, and the book is on it.
Describing: the adjective follows the noun and agrees with it – غُرْفَةٌ وَاسِعَةٌ, بَيْتٌ وَاسِعٌ. Useful pairs: spacious and cramped, old and modern, and words like comfortable, sunny, quiet and clean.
بَيْتُ جَدَّتِي قَدِيمٌ، لَكِنَّهُ وَاسِعٌ وَمُشْمِسٌ.My grandmother’s house is old, but it is spacious and sunny.
