Arabic vocabulary
How to say “darkness” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فاسدة كان عمله تابعًا لسريرته لا اعتبار بصورته فتبدو سريرته على وجهه سوادا وظلمة وشينا
His deeds were corrupt, following his inner self; no regard was paid to his outward appearance, so his inner state appeared on his face as blackness, darkness, and ugliness.
وظلمة — darkness. The wa- adds a second guise to the series, and the noun keeps the same accusative-of-manner shape as the first. The connector extends the coordinated list of forms the inner state takes, every member sharing that one framing case.
