Arabic vocabulary
How to say “a gift” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَيَرْعَى عَلَيْهِمَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَى أَبِيِ بَكْرٍ مِنْحَةً مِنْ غَنَمٍ،
And Amir ibn Fuhayrah, the freedman of Abu Bakr, tends them with a gift of sheep.
مِنْحَةً — a gift. An indefinite object noun (the '-an' ending marks both 'a' and the thing-acted-on role); it names what he tends them WITH. It then opens a fresh possessive pair, looking ahead to 'sheep' as its source.
