قضیہ کے اہم اجزاء: موضوع، محمول اور نسبتِ حکمیہ۔
منطق کی پہلی کتاب — باب 17
03Translation

The main components of a proposition are the subject, the predicate, and the judgemental relation.

04Explanation

The subject is what the judgement is about. The predicate is the meaning affirmed of the subject or denied from it.

Chapter Introduction

In logic, a declarative sentence that affirms or denies something is called a proposition.

Important Point

The subject and predicate need not be two separate external things; they may be two conceptual aspects of one thing.

05Examples

Book Example

In “Zayd is knowledgeable,” Zayd is the subject, knowledgeable is the predicate, and “is” expresses the relation.
