Arabic vocabulary
How to say “dry” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
الحمد لله الذي يسبحه الغصن الرطيب والعود اليبيس،
Praise be to Allah, whom the fresh branch and the dry twig glorify.
اليَبِيسُ — the dry. This word describes the noun before it and copies its state: definite and in the same plain subject ending. The matching shape ties the description to that noun, marking the twig as the dry one and balancing the earlier 'fresh'.
