The Plural Vocatives أيـُّها and . أيـَّتـُها You have already been introduced to the
vocative يا, which is used with singular nouns and,
therefore, could be followed by a proper noun, a title, or an Idaafa,
regardless of the gender.
يا سميرُ! ،
يا أستاذةُ! ، يا مَديرَ المکتـَبِ!
The plural forms show gender distinction
and, therefore, Arabic has أيـُّها
for the
masculine and أيـَّتـُها for the feminine. The plural vocative should be followed by a noun with the definite
article in the nominative case.
أيُّها الطلاَّبُ! أيَّتـُها الطالباتُ!
