Arabic vocabulary
شَهِيّ is how you say “delightful” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
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.
