Arabic vocabulary
فَنٌّ is how you say “art” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
الوعظ فن بذاته يحتاج إلى مشاركة جيدة في العلم،
Preaching is an art in itself that requires a good share of knowledge.
فَنٌّ — an art. This indefinite noun is the predicate — the new information closing the bare statement 'preaching [is] an art'. It stays indefinite precisely because it is the comment, not the known topic. The gap where English puts 'is' is simply left empty in Arabic.
