Arabic vocabulary
عَدَدًا is how you say “a number” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لِأَنِّي أَشَافَهُ فِي عُمْرِي عَدَدًا مِنَ الْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ،
Because I taught it orally to a number of students during my life,
عددًا — a number. An indefinite noun used as a counted amount, 'a number', and its object-style ending fits its role; it pairs with the partitive word after it to mean 'a number of...'. The indefinite ending marks it as 'some unspecified quantity'.
