أَسْوَدblack

Example sentences

• ومن كان عاصيًا، خرج من قبره حزينًا كاسفًا، ووجهه أسود مظلم

  And whoever was disobedient, he will emerge from his grave sorrowful and gloomy, with a dark, blackened face.

  أَسْوَدُ — black. This is the predicate of the 'his face is...' clause, an adjective meaning 'black', so it stands in the subject-style case to match 'his face'. Without 'the' it is indefinite; this color-word has a special shape that limits its case ending.
