is the key to whether a sentence must have an object related to whether the verb is transitive or not? seems transitive verbs like run can be without but intransitive verbs like read or drink must have an object...فحمت صح؟

السلام عليكم,
Many thanks for such creative lessons. It is easy to understand a....n...d useful in daily life. One thing, can you; with your regular lessons; also teach the colloquial substitutes of words and sentences. I live in UAE; although I have learnt Arabic in madarsa ; I couldn't be able to speak here, because the words are in use here is totally different then what I have learnt.eg اذهب , اريد etc.
Regards,

Brassa .. We wish you the best in your journey to Damascus ,, hope you enjoy it :)
Nadasax.. you just had the concept the other way round.
Transitive verbs or (mota3addy) takes an object, like (read), you say (قرأ أحمد الكتاب) where (الكتاب) here is the object.
While intransitive verbs or (laazem) does NOT require an object and the example was (run) in saying (Ahmad ran to the school). The part (to the school) here is not an actual object like when we said (الكتاب) above, and you can see this (to the) which normally indicates that the verb was (laazem).
By the way.. the last two words are فهمت صح :) -
Wa 3alaykum assalaam Mohammedhasnain,
We are doing our best to include colloquial lessons that can be common in all Arab countries.. Just keep it up with ArabicPod and inshallah we'll make something special about UAE :)

Hi Ehab, so lazeem لازم is an intransitive verb meaning it does not need an object. Since laazem means must, necessary etc. I would have thought the laazem verb is the one which must have an object. Seems backwards to me - unless it's based on another meaning of laazem like adequate, fitting (doesn't need an object to be complete).
Anyhow, great lesson! This is really an area I need to improve in a lot. Thanks -

All your lessons are making a really great difference on my Arabic. Thank you so much for your very interesting lessons.
Also if you can It would be nice to know a bit more on نحو as my sentence formation is not that good. thank you again

Grammar in Arabic covers almost every aspect of the language including the formation of sentences. You need to listen to this lesson if you want to form sentences correctly in Arabic. We definitely don't want you to make silly mistakes when structuring sentences after you have told everyone you have been to ArabicPod, so listen to this lesson to save yourself the embarrassment and us getting a bad reputation.
