    The document discusses grammatical emphasis (توكيد) in Arabic. There are two main ways to extend a subject with emphasis: repeating the word or using an emphasizer like نفس. Emphasis is used to stress the subject, affirm its literality, avoid implying a mistake, and stress inclusion of all members of a group.

    Extension by Grammatical Emphasis (‫)ﺗﻮﻛﻴﺪ‬

    In this lesson on ilm ul Balaagha we are going to talk about why you would extend the
    subject of your sentence with grammatical emphasis. 

    This is called extension by ‫ ﺗﻮﻛﻴﺪ‬. 

    As you know from grammar, extension with emphasis can be done in 2 ways. 

    1.  The first is to repeat the word. 
    For example: ٌ َ‫ْﻳﺪ‬
    ‫ْﻳﺪ‬
    ‫ﺯ‬ ٌَِ
    ‫ﺯ‬ ‫ﻲ‬ ‫ﺟﺎءﻧ‬
    2.  The second is to use one of the grammatical emphasizers such as the word ‫ﻧﻔﺲ‬. 
    For example: ُُ‫ْﻔ‬
    ‫ﺴﻪ‬ َ
    ‫ﻧ‬ ٌ َِ
    ‫ْﻳﺪ‬
    ‫ﺯ‬ ‫ﻲ‬‫ﺟﺎءﻧ‬

    Why would you do this in the first place? 
    1. To Stress the Subject 
     
    The first reason to extend the subject by emphasis is to affirm who or what the subject
    is. Basically, you are making sure the listener knows exactly who or what you are talking
    about. In English, we typically achieve this by simply vocalising the subject more
    strongly. 

    For example: ZAID paid me a visit. 

    2. To Stress the Subject’s Literality

    The second reason is to make sure the subject is treated literally as opposed to
    figuratively. 

    For example, when I say: “The building fell”, you might assume some cement or glass fell
    off and you might interpret it figuratively. 

    So, to stress the fact that the actual building toppled over, I would say: “The actual
    building fell”. Or I could say: “The building itself fell”. 

    3. To Stress the Lack of Mistake

    The third reason is to make sure your audience doesn’t assume you have made a
    mistake. 

    For example, if someone says: “Mehdi has come out” or “Mehdi has come”. 

    People will wonder whether he is speaking about the actual Mehdi, or what. 

    So, he would say “Thee Mehdi has come out”, or “The actual Mehdi himself has finally
    come out”. 

    4. To Stress Inclusion

    The final reason to extend the subject by emphasis is to stress the fact that every
    member of a group is included in what you are saying. 

    For example, if I was to say about a class of students who have just finished a test: “They
    all failed”, you might assume I just mean the majority of them. Surely, there are some
    bright students who passed. But to stress the fact that I mean absolutely all students I
    might say: “They all failed, every last one of them” Or I might say: “Every last one of
    them failed”. 

    So all of these examples would be translated in Arabic using one of the two methods
    discussed in the beginning of this lesson.
