Arabic vocabulary
How to say “capital” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
واعلم أن كل لحظة من عمرك رأس مال لك،
And know that every moment of your life is capital for you,
رَأْسُ — is capital. This is the start of an 'of' pairing meaning 'head of capital', i.e. principal, where this first noun owns the relationship and the next noun completes it. As the predicate naming what each moment is, it stands in the subject-style case while the following noun takes the possessive ending.
