Arabic vocabulary
How to say “a limit” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيُحَدُّ لِي حَدٌّ فَأُدْخِلُهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ،
Then I will intercede, a limit will be set for me, and I will admit them into Paradise.
حَدٌّ — a limit. This noun is the thing set, and its -un ending marks it as both indefinite and the doer of the passive verb, the limit that gets fixed. Because the verb is passive, what would be the object in an active sentence surfaces here as the nominative subject, which is why it takes this ending.
From: Intercession on Judgment Day →OpenArabic teaches words like حَدٌّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
