ضَيْقٍdistress in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَقَالَتْ نَحْنُ بَشَرٌ فِي ضَيْقٍ وَشِدَّةٍ

  She said, "We are human beings in distress and hardship."

  ضَيْقٍ — distress. This is an indefinite noun, no 'the', governed by the 'in' before it and so in the governed form. It names the hardship they are in. The indefiniteness leaves it as distress in general, the condition they describe themselves as living in.
