ثِيَابclothing

Example sentences

• نعم، ورأينا ذئابا عليهم الثياب،

  Yes, and we have seen wolves wearing clothes.

  الثِّيَابُ — clothing. This is the delayed subject of that 'upon them [is]...' clause — 'clothing', a broken plural in the nominative — describing the wolves' state: dressed as men. So the whole tail is a circumstantial 'while clothes were on them', the disguise of the predators.

• ولا يدع التجمل، ولا يمتنع من لبس جيد الثياب،

  He did not forsake adornment and did not refrain from wearing fine clothes,

  الثِّيَابِ — clothes. This owner noun closes the 'fine of clothes' pairing, so it carries the governed ending while staying definite. It names what kind of clothing the fineness belongs to.
