سَكْرَانdrunk person in Arabic

Example sentences

• الغضبان كالسكران لا يؤاخذ بما يقول

  The angry person is like the drunk person, not accountable for what he says.

  كَالسَّكْرَانِ — like the drunk person. Here 'ka-' is fused on as 'like', the prefix that turns the noun into a comparison: like the drunk one. The 'like' element governs the noun, whose 'the' marks the drunkard as a known type, and the pair forms the predicate of the verbless sentence.
