Arabic vocabulary
How to say “circumstance” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
الرابع أنه قيد الفعل بالظرف وهو قوله ﴿يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ﴾
The fourth is that He specified the action with a time, which is His saying, 'The Day when secrets will be put to trial.'
بِالظَّرْفِ — with the condition. This fuses 'with/by' onto the noun 'the time-frame/adverbial', genitive after the preposition, made definite by 'the'. It marks the means of the restricting, 'with the time-word', i.e. He limited the action by attaching a time to it.
From: Ten Proofs of Resurrection →OpenArabic teaches words like ظَرْفٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
