تَمْرdates
How to say “dates” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فرمى بما كان معه من التمر،
He threw away what dates he had with him,
التَّمْرِ — the dates. A noun made definite by al- (the), so it names the dates as a known, specific category rather than just any dates. Following the partitive preposition before it, the pairing reads as 'of the dates', singling out that stock specifically.
