يَجمع em 30 segundos
- Core meaning: To gather, collect, or unite.
- Used for physical objects (books, wood) and people.
- Essential for math (addition) and combining qualities.
- Commonly paired with 'bayna' (between) for abstract combinations.
The Arabic verb يَجمع (yajma'u) is a fundamental Form I verb derived from the root j-m-' (ج-م-ع). At its core, it signifies the act of bringing separate entities into a single location or state. This can range from the physical act of picking up scattered items to the abstract concept of uniting people under a common cause. In a linguistic sense, it is the root of words like 'Jumu'ah' (Friday, the day of gathering) and 'Jami'ah' (University, a place where knowledge and people gather).
- Physical Gathering
- This refers to collecting objects, such as gathering wood for a fire or collecting stamps as a hobby. It implies a transition from a state of dispersion to a state of unity.
الولد يَجمع ألعابه في الصندوق.
- Social Unification
- It is frequently used to describe bringing people together for a meeting, a meal, or a shared purpose. It carries a positive connotation of harmony and connection.
العشاء يَجمع العائلة كل مساء.
- Abstract Accumulation
- Used for collecting non-physical things like information, evidence, or wealth. It suggests a methodical process of accumulation over time.
الباحث يَجمع البيانات للدراسة.
هو يَجمع بين الموهبة والعمل الجاد.
Using يَجمع correctly requires understanding its transitivity and common prepositional pairings. As a transitive verb, it usually takes a direct object (the thing being gathered). However, when expressing the idea of 'combining' two different qualities or things, the preposition بين (bayna - between) is essential.
- Conjugation Basics
- In the present tense (Mudari'), it follows the pattern 'yaf'alu'. Ana ajma'u (I gather), Anta tajma'u (You gather), Huwa yajma'u (He gathers).
نحن نَجمع التبرعات للفقراء.
- The 'Between' Construction
- To say someone 'combines' two things, use 'yajma'u bayna X wa Y'. This is a very common literary and formal structure.
الكتاب يَجمع بين الفلسفة والشعر.
- Mathematical Usage
- When adding numbers, you can say 'yajma'u al-a'dad' (he adds the numbers) or use the verbal noun 'Jam'' for addition.
الطالب يَجمع الأرقام بسرعة.
المدير يَجمع الموظفين للاجتماع.
The verb يَجمع is ubiquitous in Arabic daily life, media, and academic discourse. Its versatility makes it a staple of both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and various dialects, though the pronunciation might vary slightly.
- In the News
- Journalists often use it when discussing international relations, such as 'gathering support' or 'bringing leaders together' for a summit.
المؤتمر يَجمع وزراء الخارجية العرب.
- At School
- Teachers use it constantly, whether instructing students to 'gather their belongings' or during math lessons on addition.
المعلمة تطلب من الأطفال أن يَجمعوا أوراقهم.
- In Literature
- Poets use it to describe the heart 'gathering' memories or the soul 'gathering' its strength.
الشاعر يَجمع شتات أفكاره في قصيدة.
هذا المكان يَجمع بين الماضي والحاضر.
Even intermediate learners often stumble when using يَجمع due to its similarity with other verbs from the same root or incorrect prepositional usage.
- Confusing with 'Yajtami'u'
- This is the most frequent error. 'Yajma'u' (Form I) is transitive: you gather *something*. 'Yajtami'u' (Form VIII) is intransitive: people *meet* or *gather together*.
خطأ: الطلاب يَجمعون في القاعة. (Wrong: The students gather [something] in the hall.)
صح: الطلاب يَجتمعون في القاعة. (Correct: The students meet in the hall.)
- Preposition Errors
- Learners sometimes use 'ma'a' (with) when they should use 'bayna' (between) for combining qualities. While 'ma'a' isn't always wrong, 'bayna' is the idiomatic standard for 'combining X and Y'.
هو يَجمع بين القوة واللين.
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- In MSA, if the verb comes before a plural subject, it remains singular (Yajma'u al-nas...). If the subject comes first, the verb must be plural (Al-nas yajma'una...).
يَجمع الناسُ الحطبَ.
Arabic is rich with verbs that describe various types of gathering. Understanding the nuances between يَجمع and its synonyms will elevate your fluency.
- يَجمع vs. يَحشد (Yahshidu)
- While 'yajma'u' is general, 'yahshidu' implies mobilizing or amassing, often for a specific purpose like a protest or a military action.
- يَجمع vs. يَلُمّ (Yalummu)
- 'Yalummu' often suggests gathering things that were scattered or messy, like 'tidying up' or 'gathering one's things' quickly.
الأم تَلُمّ شمل العائلة.
- يَجمع vs. يُكدّس (Yukaddisu)
- 'Yukaddisu' means to pile up or stack, often implying an excessive or disorganized accumulation (like hoarding).
هو يُكدّس الأموال دون إنفاقها.
- Comparison Table
-
- يجمع: General gathering/collecting.
- يحشد: Mobilizing/Massing (people).
- يلم: Tidying/Reuniting scattered parts.
- يكدس: Hoarding/Piling up.
