Arabic vocabulary
اِسْتِحْيَاءَ is how you say “feeling ashamed” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَأَنَّ الاِسْتِحْيَاءَ فِي التَّسَاؤُلِ عَنْ أَمْرِ الشَّرْعِ مَذْمُومٌ،
And that feeling ashamed to ask about a matter of religious law is blameworthy.
الاِسْتِحْيَاءَ — feeling ashamed. Carries al- ('the') and is an action-noun naming the act of feeling ashamed — the subject of the 'that' clause, standing in the object form because the emphatic 'that' particle forces that ending on its subject. The definiteness treats the shyness as a known, named thing being judged.
