Arabic vocabulary
خَبَل is how you say “foolish” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فإنك جاهل خبل فداوم بالله على التواضع الزائد ،
For surely you are ignorant and foolish, so persist in excessive humility with God,
خَبَلٌ — foolish. This indefinite noun, 'feeble-minded', is a second predicate stacked beside the first, agreeing with it in the plain subject ending. Arabic can pile up such predicates with no 'and' and no verb, each describing the same 'you'.
From: True Devotion →OpenArabic teaches words like خَبَل through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
