Arabic vocabulary
How to say “Amir” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَيَرْجِعُ ذُبَابُ سَيْفِهِ فَأَصَابَ رُكْبَةَ عَامِرِ فَمَاتَ مِنْهُ،
The tip of his sword snapped back and struck Amir's knee, and he died from it.
عَامِرِ — Amir. The name closing the ownership pairing: it is the owner, so the knee is his. Standing as the second half of such a pairing, it takes an 'of'-type ending that flags it as possessing the noun before it, even though English would just say 'Amir's'.
From: The Martyr's Reward →OpenArabic teaches words like عَامِرِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
