تُّرَابِdirt in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَقُلْتُ إِنْفَضِّ الضَّرْعَ مِنَ التُّرَابِ وَالشَّعْرِ وَالْقِذَى

  I said, "Shake the udder free of dirt, hair, and grit."

  التُّرَابِ — the dirt. A definite noun, the dirt, governed by the 'from' before it, so it sits in the 'of'-style ending; its 'al-' (the) was carried over in the previous chunk. It is the first of the things to be cleared away. The preposition is what assigns it that ending.

  From: A Night with the Prophet →
