Arabic vocabulary
مَعِيبَةٌ is how you say “fault” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَالْقَضَاء نَوْعَانِ إِمَّا مصائب وَإِمَّا معائب
The decree is of two types: either calamities or faults.
مَعَائِبَ — faults. A broken plural, 'defects/faults'. Words of this plural shape are diptotes: they refuse the indefinite '-n' and show a plain '-a' even where another noun would take '-in', a special class worth recognizing. It is the second kind of decree.
From: Accepting God's Decree →OpenArabic teaches words like مَعِيبَةٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
