Arabic vocabulary
How to say “for every” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فَإِنَّ نَقْلَ الْكَلَامِ مِنْ لُغَةٍ إِلَى لُغَةٍ لَا يَتَيَسَّرُ لِكُلِّ أَحَدٍ،
Indeed, translating speech from one language into another is not something everyone can do.
لِكُلِّ — for every. The relator 'li-' meaning 'for' fused to a quantifier 'every/each', giving 'for everyone'. It marks who the ease is (not) available to; the relator governs the quantifier into the genitive, which heads an 'of' link with the noun after it.
From: Adam, Eve, and the Forbidden Tree →وَتَمَيَّزَ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ حَاصِلُهُمْ الَّذِي حَصَّلُوهُ،
And for every people, the outcome they had attained was made clear,
لِكُلِّ — for every. This is the preposition li- ('for/to') fused to the quantifier 'every'; li- governs it in the genitive. Together they mean 'for every', distributing the result one group at a time. The li- marks the beneficiary, telling for WHOM each outcome was made clear.
From: Ignoring God's Guidance →فَسُؤَالُ الْهِدَايَةِ مُتَضَمِّنٌ لِحُصُولِ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ،
So asking for guidance implies obtaining every good,
كُلِّ — every. This is the quantifier 'every/all', and grammatically it leads a possessive pairing with the noun after it: 'every OF good'. It always takes a following noun in the genitive and draws its own role from the preposition before it, scoping the statement over each instance.
From: The Bridge to Paradise →وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
and taught you the names of all things.
كُلِّ — every. This quantifier, 'every/all', heads an 'of' pairing with the noun after it, 'the names of all things', and governs it into the genitive. Itself in the genitive as the owned tail of 'names', it narrows the teaching to cover absolutely everything.
From: Patience Under Decree →وَلَوْ كَانَ هَذَا عُذْرًا لَكَانَ عُذْرًا لِإِبْلِيسِ وَقَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَقَوْمِ هُودٍ وَكُلِّ كَافِرٍ
If this were an excuse, it would excuse Iblis, the people of Noah, the people of Hud, and every unbeliever.
وَكُلِّ — and every. A linking 'and' bound to a quantifier meaning 'every/each', which itself heads an 'of'-style pairing with the noun after it and forces that noun into the genitive. 'Every X' in Arabic is built as 'all-of X', so the quantifier owns the following noun grammatically.
