Arabic vocabulary
How to say “equal” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قال لأني سمعت الله يقول ولم يكن له كفوا أحد فأردت أن أكون أنا ذلك الكفؤ إذا كان موجودًا
He said: Because I heard Allah say, '[Nor is there to Him any equivalent],' so I wanted to be that equivalent if it existed.
الْكَفُؤَ — the equivalent. Definite by al' and in the accusative -a as the predicate completing 'I be that equal'; the 'to be' construction gives this naming word the object-style ending.
From: Bedouin Manners →OpenArabic teaches words like كَفُؤ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
