How to say “camels” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
أَحْبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمُرِ النِعَمِ
She is dearer to me than the red camels.
النِعَمِ — the camels. This noun carries al- 'the' and is the owner half of the 'red of...' pairing, so it sits in the genitive. Arabic builds the phrase by setting the color-word against this noun, the genitive ending marking the relationship. The pair names the most coveted livestock, the benchmark of value she is set above.
