بَهَائِمanimals in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَبِهَذَا الْقَدْرِ فُضِّلَ الآدَمِيُّ عَلَى الْبَهَائِمِ

  This is why humans are preferred over animals.

  الْبَهَائِمِ — animals. Genitive plural after 'over'; the 'the' makes it the class of beasts as a whole.

• لأَنَّ الْبَهَائِمَ وَاقِفَةٌ مَعَ طِبَاعِهَا لَا نَظَرَ لَهَا إِلَى عَاقِبَةٍ وَلا فِكْرَ فِي مَآلٍ

  Because animals remain with their nature, without regard to consequences and without thinking of their fate.

  الْبَهَائِمَ — animals. The subject of the 'because' clause, yet in the accusative, since this 'because/that' particle governs the noun directly after it.
