Example sentences

  For the exaggerated recitation among them involves excessive detail, leading the refined reciter to focus solely on the articulation of letters,

  زَائِدٌ — excessive. This adjective, excessive, describes the over-refinement and matches it in indefinite nominative through '-un'. Arabic adjectives trail their noun and copy its case and indefiniteness, so the two share the same ending.

  الزَّائِدِ — the excessive. This is an adjective, 'the abundant, the more-than-usual', and the al- makes it definite to match the noun it describes. An Arabic adjective trails its noun and copies its definiteness and ending; here it agrees with 'the humility' in the same possessed ending.
