How to say “bee” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وكن فِي الدُّنْيَا كالنحلة
And be in the world like a bee.
كَالنَّحْلَةِ — like a bee. 'Ka-' means 'like', and it governs the noun in the genitive, forming the simile that completes 'be...': 'be like the bee'. The single prefix does the work of English 'like a'.
