Arabic vocabulary
How to say “depths” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وظهرت من التخوم كالنجوم الزهر،
And they appeared from the depths like shining stars,
التُّخُومِ — the depths. The leading 'the' makes this noun definite, a specific known thing rather than just any depths. It sits in the ending required by the preposition before it, which is how Arabic shows that this word is the object governed by 'from' rather than the subject of the sentence.
From: Rain and God's Decree →OpenArabic teaches words like تُخُومٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
