Meaning of the Construct State

When a noun is in the construct state, it will not have neither a definite nor an indefinite marker. However, it will be always a definite noun, even if there were no definite article attached. Think of it as if there were a hidden definite article before the noun. The definiteness of the construct state is so strict that even the final noon ن of the dual and the masculine plural endings will be removed in this state, and this is the only case in Arabic where this happens to those two.

The second point is that changing a noun to the construct state will always implant a hidden possessive "of" after the noun. This is the main point of the construct state anyway.

So a noun in the construct state will be like this:

(THE) NOUN (OF)
