زِينَةٍadornment

Example sentences

• وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أُزَيِّنَكُما مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ،

  And if I wished, I could adorn you both with the adornments of this world,

  بِزِينَةٍ — with adornment. The bi- here is a preposition meaning 'with', marking the means or instrument of the adorning, and it governs the noun it attaches to. The noun is indefinite, some adornment, so no 'the'. The bi- assigns the 'by means of' role to whatever follows it.
