Arabic vocabulary
How to say “Bedouin” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ومن غفلات الأعراب أن أعرابيًا دخل مكة فطاف بالكعبة،
From the oversights of the Bedouins: A Bedouin entered Makkah and circumambulated the Ka'bah,
أَعْرَابِيًّا — a Bedouin. Indefinite (no al') and in the accusative -an because the 'that' particle grips it as its subject; so 'a certain Bedouin' is the one the fact is about.
From: Bedouin Manners →OpenArabic teaches words like أَعْرَابِي through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
