Arabic vocabulary
How to say “drink” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قال أبقراط استدامة الصحبة بعب الماء، ويترك الامتلاء من الطعام والشراب
Hippocrates said that maintaining health involves drinking water and avoiding fullness from food and drink.
وَالشَّرابِ — and the drink. The 'wa-' adds 'the drink' alongside 'the food' as a second item the fullness comes from, so it stays in the genitive matching 'food'. Coordinated nouns share the case of the one before them.
