Arabic vocabulary
How to say “foolish” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنَّ الأَحْمَقَ يُخَيِّرُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَخْلاقِ فَمَا أَحَبَّتْ مِنْهَا أَحَبَّ وَمَا كَرِهَتْ مِنْهَا كَرِهَ
And indeed, the foolish lets his soul choose in matters of conduct, so what it likes, he likes, and what it dislikes, he dislikes.
الأَحْمَقَ — the foolish. 'al-' = 'the'; 'ahmaq' = 'fool'. The '-a' ending is the object form after 'inna'.
