Arabic vocabulary
How to say “four” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
مِنَ الْجِهَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ
from the four directions
الْأَرْبَعِ — the four. The number 'four' acting as a describing word attached to 'the directions', so it matches that noun in being definite (it too carries al-) and in its genitive ending. Here the number trails the noun and agrees with it, unlike the leading numbers seen earlier in the passage.
