Arabic vocabulary
How to say “eloquence” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
واها لفصاحتي شوت أكباد حسدتي فلا بطل الشوى،
Ah, my eloquence scorched the livers of my enviers, yet the hide was not consumed.
لِفَصَاحَتِي — for my eloquence. A 'for/to' preposition is fused to the front, here marking what the sigh is over, and it forces the noun into the 'of' ending. The 'my' fused at the end names the speaker as owner, so the word bundles preposition, noun, and possessor into 'for my eloquence'.
