How to say “earth” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وفسر الصدع بالنبات، لأنه يصدع الأرض أي يشقها
The splitting was interpreted as the plants, for it splits the earth, meaning it breaks through it.
الأَرْضَ — the earth. A noun made definite by al- (the) and standing as the direct object of the verb before it, which is why it carries the object ending rather than the subject one. The ending is the audible clue that the earth is being acted upon, not acting.
