أَنِيقelegant

Example sentences

• كَانَ اِبْنُ الْجَوْزِيِّ أَنِيقًا فِي مَظْهَرِهِ نَزِيهًا نَظِيفًا،

  Ibn al-Jawzi was elegant in his appearance, upright and clean,

  أنيقًا — elegant. An adjective, 'elegant', the description the 'was' verb assigns; it wears the object-style case because the copula governs its predicate into that case. So the ending here is part of how Arabic says 'he was elegant'.
