Abstract
This study aims to explore the grammatical suffixes of Arabic verbs from a modern perspective. It challenges the traditional approach to these suffixes, which has focused on the written form rather than the spoken version. Consequently, it establishes a new framework for describing these suffixes, emphasising pronunciation over orthography. The research further highlights the mistakes made by early grammarians in their understanding of Arabic suffixes and how these errors led to a misinterpretation of Arabic morphological characteristics. As a result, classical linguistic analysis became limited by misconceptions stemming from written language. In this examination of grammatical suffixes, the present study incorporates contemporary linguistic insights, including phoneme and morpheme theories, as well as a distinction between written and spoken language.
