Arabic vocabulary
How to say “father” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
عباد الله تَفَكَّرُوا فِي إِخْرَاج أبيكم آدم من الْجنَّة دَار الْأمان
O servants of Allah, reflect upon the expulsion of your father Adam from Paradise, the abode of safety.
أَبِيكُمْ — your father. This is 'father' carrying the attached 'your' (plural), a possessive, the father belonging to the audience. It is the owned term after 'expulsion of', so it takes the genitive, while itself owning the next word, the name. So it sits in the middle of a chain, both owned and owner.
