Arabic vocabulary
How to say “eat” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فقال تعالى وكلوا واشربوا ولا تسرفوا
He said, 'And eat and drink, but do not be excessive.'
وَكُلُوا — 'And eat. The 'wa-' opens the quoted verse, and the verb is a direct command 'eat!', addressed to a group, its plural ending marking the addressees. The command form is how Arabic gives an order, with the subject 'you all' built in.
From: The One-Third Rule →OpenArabic teaches words like كلوا through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
