About Derivation
Dear classmates
Our 4th lesson focuses on Derivation and talks about its effects on our written statements. Considering the derivation
along with the meaning of the root leads in more accurate understandings about meaning and also the context emphasis.
There exist 4 types of derivation but here we combine two of them and talk about 3 types:
1. "Asghar/Saghir":
1.1. Appearance of word roots in different parts of speech
1.1.1. Noun
1.1.2. Adjective
1.1.3. Verb form
1.2. Conjugating word roots into different forms("Baab")
1.2.1. "Efa'al" form: Focuses on the subject / abrupt or sudden event
1.2.2. "Taf'eil" form: Focuses on the object or receiver / gradual event
1.2.3. "Tafa'ol" form: accepting the effect by the object or receiver with desire
1.2.4. "Efte'al" form: accepting by ones choice
1.2.5. "Tafaa'ol" form: two sides are subject/ two-way action
1.2.6. "Mofa'ele" form: one side is the subject
1.2.7. "Estefa'al" form: want sth and having intention to reach it
1.2.8. "Enfe'al" form: being affected without choice
2. "Kabir": Root letters are the same and you only face with dislocated letters like "Hamd" and "Madh"
or "Sherk" and "Shokr". This dislocation, results in specification or conflict of the meaning.
3. "Akbar": The root are the same but with altered letter(1 or 2) like "Ghavasa" and "Ghavara" that both mean
getting deeper.
If we consider the role of derivation our resulting statements are to be more accurate and more consistent with
God intentions and emphasis!
