Arabic vocabulary
How to say “al-Ma'mun” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
عَنْ الْمَعْلِيِّ بْنِ أَوْبِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمَأْمُونَ يَقُولُ
From al-Mu'allī ibn Uwb, he said: I heard al-Ma'mun say
الْمَأْمُونَ — al-Ma'mun. This name is the object of 'I heard', so it takes the object-style -a ending, but it doubles as the subject of the speaking-verb that follows. Arabic handles 'I heard him saying' by making the heard person the object here and the doer of the next verb. So this one word straddles two roles in the sentence.
