Arabic vocabulary
How to say “a woman” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَأَنَا فِي ثَوْبِ إِمْرَأَةٍ إِلَّا عَائِشَةَ،
And I am in a woman's garment except Aisha.
إِمْرَأَةٍ — a woman. The owner half of 'garment of a woman', set straight after the noun with no word for 'of'; being the possessor forces its genitive ending. Left indefinite, it means any woman's garment, not a specific one's.
From: Wives of the Prophet →OpenArabic teaches words like إِمْرَأَةٍ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
