Here’s the rewritten version with proper harakat added and simplified explanations:
“As for” in Arabic (أَمَّا)
In Arabic, “أَمَّا” is used to emphasize or introduce a topic in a sentence. This is often equivalent to the phrase “As for” in English. The topic (the part being discussed) is introduced by أَمَّا, and the comment (the explanation or information about the topic) follows it, often introduced by فَـ.
Examples
1. أَمَّا قُوَّاتُ الْأَمْنِ فَقَدْ قَمَعَتِ الثَّوْرَةَ بِدُونِ تَرَدُّدٍ.
Translation:
“As for the security services, they crushed the revolution without hesitation.”
2. أَمَّا هِيَ فَلَنْ تُخَالِفَ رَغَبَاتِ أَبِيهَا أَبَدًا.
Translation:
“As for her, she will never go against her father’s wishes.”
Alternative Usage Without أَمَّا
You can achieve a similar meaning without using أَمَّا by placing the subject at the beginning of the sentence and adding a resumptive pronoun to the verb. In English, this is often translated using “only” to emphasize rarity or uniqueness.
Example
نَادِرًا مَا تَجِدُ رَجُلًا سَخِيًّا مِثْلَهُ فِي الْحَيَاةِ.
Translation:
“You encounter a man as generous as he (is) only rarely in life.”
