Arabic vocabulary
جِهَاتٌ is how you say “directions are” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْأَرْبَعَ جِهَاتٌ تَدْخُلُهَا الْمُشَارَكَةُ فِي الْأَعْمَالِ
He said: Because the four directions are where association enters into deeds.
جِهَات — directions are. A broken plural, 'directions', here the comment made about the fronted 'four', so it serves as the predicate of the 'because the four are directions...' clause. As the predicate after 'anna' it stays in the plain subject-style ending while the topic before it took the accusative.
