Arabic vocabulary
How to say “disgrace” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وهبوطه إِلَى دَار الذل والهوان
And his descent to the abode of lowliness and humiliation.
الذُّلِّ — disgrace. This is 'lowliness, disgrace', definite as the owned term, the second noun after 'abode of', so it takes the genitive ending. The pairing builds 'the abode of lowliness' by setting the two nouns directly together. It names the character of the place he descended to.
From: Adam's Warning →OpenArabic teaches words like ذُّلِّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
