Welcome to Lesson 11 of the Arabic language course from the Latinum Institute. This lesson focuses on expressing possession and the concept of "having" in Arabic, which differs significantly from English. For the complete course index and additional lessons, please visit https://latinum.substack.com/p/index.
In Arabic, the concept of "have" is expressed differently than in English. Rather than using a verb like English does, Arabic uses prepositions - primarily عِنْدَ (ʿinda) meaning "at/with" and لَدَى (ladā) meaning "with/by" - combined with pronouns or nouns to indicate possession. This lesson will explore these constructions in detail through practical examples.
The English verb "have" translates to Arabic using prepositional constructions: -
عِنْدَ (ʿinda) + pronoun/noun = to have (more common, everyday usage) -
لَدَى (ladā) + pronoun/noun = to have (more formal/literary) -
مَعَ (maʿa) = with (for temporary possession) -
لِ (li) = for/to (used with كان for past possession)
-
Arabic doesn't use a verb for "have" - it uses prepositions -
عِنْدَ is the most common way to express possession -
The preposition changes form when combined with pronouns -
Word order in Arabic possession constructions differs from English -
Context determines which prepositional construction to use
Question: What does "have" mean in Arabic? Answer: In Arabic, "have" is expressed using prepositions like عِنْدَ (ʿinda) or لَدَى (ladā) rather than a specific verb. These prepositions, when combined with pronouns or nouns, indicate possession or the state of having something.

Arabic does not have a direct equivalent to the English verb "have." Instead, it uses prepositional constructions to express possession. The main methods are:
The most common way to express "have" uses عِنْدَ meaning "at/with." When combined with pronouns, it forms: -
عِنْدِي (ʿindī) - I have -
عِنْدَكَ (ʿindaka) - you have (masculine) -
عِنْدَكِ (ʿindaki) - you have (feminine) -
عِنْدَهُ (ʿindahu) - he has -
عِنْدَهَا (ʿindahā) - she has -
عِنْدَنَا (ʿindanā) - we have -
عِنْدَكُمْ (ʿindakum) - you have (plural) -
عِنْدَهُمْ (ʿindahum) - they have
More formal/literary, often used in written Arabic: -
لَدَيَّ (ladayya) - I have -
لَدَيْكَ (ladayka) - you have -
لَدَيْهِ (ladayhi) - he has -
لَدَيْهَا (ladayhā) - she has
Used for temporary possession or when something is physically with someone: -
مَعِي (maʿī) - with me -
مَعَكَ (maʿaka) - with you
Used with كَانَ for past possession or with family relationships: -
لِي (lī) - for me/mine -
لَكَ (laka) - for you/yours
-
Using a verb for "have": English speakers often look for a verb equivalent. Remember: Arabic uses prepositions, not a verb. -
Word order confusion: In Arabic, the structure is "at-me book" (عِنْدِي كِتَابٌ) not "I have book." -
Forgetting case endings: The possessed item takes nominative case (tanwīn) when indefinite. -
Mixing up pronouns: Each pronoun has a specific form when attached to عِنْدَ. -
Negation errors: Use لَيْسَ (laysa) before the entire construction: لَيْسَ عِنْدِي (I don't have).
-
Choose your preposition (usually عِنْدَ) -
Add the appropriate pronoun suffix -
Place the possessed item after the prepositional phrase -
Apply correct case endings to the possessed item -
For questions, add هَلْ at the beginning or أَ before the preposition
English: Subject + have + object Arabic: Preposition + pronoun + object
English uses word order and auxiliary verbs for tense: -
I have, I had, I will have
Arabic adds tense markers to the prepositional phrase: -
عِنْدِي (present) -
كَانَ عِنْدِي (past) -
سَيَكُونُ عِنْدِي (future)

The Arabic approach to expressing possession reflects deeper cultural values. The use of prepositions rather than a possessive verb suggests a different conceptual relationship with ownership. In Arabic thought, things are "with" or "at" a person rather than being possessed by them in the Western sense.
The preposition عِنْدَ literally means "at" or "in the presence of," implying that possessions exist in one's sphere rather than being owned outright. This linguistic feature aligns with Islamic values of stewardship (khilāfa) over ownership - humans are caretakers of what is ultimately God's creation.
The formal alternative لَدَى is preferred in official contexts, academic writing, and news reports. Its use signals elevated discourse and respect for the audience. In contrast, عِنْدَ dominates everyday conversation, making it essential for practical communication.
Family relationships often use the لِ construction (لِي أَخٌ - "to me is a brother"), emphasizing the relational rather than possessive aspect of family ties. This reflects the collective nature of Arab society where family members belong to each other in a web of mutual obligations.
Understanding these nuances helps English speakers appreciate that Arabic doesn't merely translate English concepts but expresses a different worldview through its grammatical structures.

From "One Thousand and One Nights" (ألف ليلة وليلة)
كَانَ (kā-na) was لِتَاجِرٍ (li-tā-ji-rin) for-a-merchant مِنْ (min) from تُجَّارِ (tuj-jā-ri) merchants بَغْدَادَ (bagh-dā-da) Baghdad ثَلَاثَةُ (tha-lā-tha-tu) three أَوْلَادٍ (ʾaw-lā-din) sons وَ (wa) and عِنْدَهُ (ʿin-da-hu) at-him مِنَ (min) from الْمَالِ (al-mā-li) the-wealth مَا (mā) what لَا (lā) not يُحْصَى (yuḥ-ṣā) is-counted وَ (wa) and لَدَيْهِ (la-day-hi) with-him دُكَّانٌ (duk-kā-nun) shop كَبِيرٌ (ka-bī-run) big فِي (fī) in السُّوقِ (as-sū-qi) the-market
كَانَ لِتَاجِرٍ مِنْ تُجَّارِ بَغْدَادَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ وَعِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا لَا يُحْصَى وَلَدَيْهِ دُكَّانٌ كَبِيرٌ فِي السُّوقِ
A merchant from the merchants of Baghdad had three sons, and he had wealth beyond counting, and he had a large shop in the market.
This passage demonstrates three different ways of expressing possession in classical Arabic narrative: -
لِ with كَانَ for family relations (كَانَ لِتَاجِرٍ) -
عِنْدَ for material possessions (عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ) -
لَدَى for significant possessions (لَدَيْهِ دُكَّانٌ)
The variation adds stylistic richness and avoids repetition, a hallmark of Arabic literary style.
The passage uses كَانَ to set the past tense frame for all three possession constructions. Note how مَا لَا يُحْصَى ("what cannot be counted") uses a relative clause to emphasize abundance. The idiomatic expression demonstrates how Arabic uses grammatical structures poetically.

In medical contexts, Arabic uses specific patterns for expressing possession of symptoms, conditions, and medical items:
Expressing Symptoms When describing symptoms or medical conditions, عِنْدَ is the primary construction: -
عِنْدِي صُدَاعٌ (I have a headache) -
عِنْدَهُ سُعَالٌ (He has a cough)
Duration with مُنْذُ To indicate how long someone has had a condition, use مُنْذُ (since/for): -
عِنْدِي حُمَّى مُنْذُ يَوْمَيْنِ (I have had a fever for two days)
Formal Medical Settings Healthcare institutions and formal medical documents prefer لَدَى: -
لَدَى الْمُسْتَشْفَى (The hospital has) -
لَدَيْنَا مَوْعِدٌ (We have an appointment)
Physical Possession of Medical Items Use مَعَ when referring to documents or items physically carried: -
مَعَكِ بِطَاقَةُ التَّأْمِينِ (You have your insurance card with you) -
مَعَهُ التَّحَالِيلِ (He has the tests with him)
Negation in Medical Contexts Use لَيْسَ for negating possession of conditions: -
لَيْسَ عِنْدِي حَسَاسِيَّةٍ (I don't have allergies)
Future Medical Procedures Combine سَيَكُونُ with possession constructions: -
سَيَكُونُ لَدَيْكَ عَمَلِيَّةٌ (You will have an operation)

Detailed interlinear glossing for transparent comprehension -
Natural, varied sentences drawn from authentic usage -
Clear grammatical explanations tailored for English speakers -
Cultural context to deepen understanding -
Literary excerpts to experience real Arabic texts -
Genre-specific sections for practical application
The method emphasizes reading comprehension as the foundation for language acquisition, following the principle that extensive exposure to comprehensible input leads to natural language development. By working through these lessons systematically, students develop the ability to read Arabic texts with increasing fluency and confidence.
The Latinum Institute's approach has helped thousands of students worldwide achieve their language learning goals. Our materials are continuously updated based on learner feedback and advances in language pedagogy.
