Arabic vocabulary
How to say “fundamentalism” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فإن الأصولية بينهم السيف،
For theology among them is like a sword;
الْأُصُولِيَّةُ — fundamentalism. This is an abstract noun built with the '-iyya' ending, which turns a root into a named discipline — here 'the science of foundations / theology'. It is the subject of 'indeed', wearing the accusative that particle forces. The '-iyya' suffix is Arabic's regular way of coining an abstract '-ism / -ology'.
From: Scripture Over Speculation →OpenArabic teaches words like أُصُولِيَّةٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
