Arabic vocabulary
How to say “delightful” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فينبغي الاقتصار على الموافق الشهي بلا إكثار منه
So, one should limit themselves to agreeable, delightful food, without excess.
الشَّهِيِّ — the delightful. This adjective 'pleasant' describes the agreeable food and agrees with it in definiteness, so it too takes 'al-' and the same genitive ending. Arabic places the describing word after the noun and matches its form.
