How to say “Basra” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
روي أن رجلا دخل البصرة، ولم يكن رأى الحسن،
It is narrated that a man entered Basra, who had not seen Al-Hasan,
البَصْرَةَ — Basra. This place name is the destination entered, so it sits in the object form, the case this verb assigns to where it lands. Even a definite proper place takes that object shape as the receiver of the entering.
