Arabic vocabulary
بَرْدَة is how you say “fullness” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أصل كل داء البردة
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: The root of every illness is fullness.
الْبِرْدَةُ — the fullness. This is the predicate completing 'the root of every illness is overeating'; with no word for 'is', the bare noun makes the statement. Its 'al-' makes it the specific thing identified.
From: The One-Third Rule →والبردة التخمة، لأنها تبرد حرارة الشهوة،
'Al-Bardah' means overeating, because it cools the heat of appetite.
وَالْبِرْدَةُ — and the fullness. The 'wa-' opens an explaining sentence, and the noun is the definite subject 'the fullness', made specific by 'al-' and carrying the subject ending. It heads a verbless 'X is Y' definition.
