Arabic vocabulary
How to say “and such” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَ مَا قَالَ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا
He said what he said, saying such and such.
وَكَذَا — and such. Two pieces: wa- ('and') joining to the previous word, plus the same vague 'so-and-so'. The repeated pair, linked by wa-, makes the fixed idiom 'such and such', standing in for content left unstated.
From: Conquest of Mecca Account →OpenArabic teaches words like وَكَذَا through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
