Arabic vocabulary
How to say “description” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اسمعوا وصفي للسلف فإني ألتذ بذكرهم التذاذ
Listen to my description of the predecessors, for I find pleasure in mentioning them.
وَصْفِي — my description. The attached -i adds 'my', and this opens a possessive pairing, 'my description of the predecessors'. As the object of the command 'listen to', it carries the -a ending while heading the pairing that the next word completes.
