How to say “gates” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
وهذا باب من أبواب حفظ الصحة
This is a topic from the chapters of health preservation.
أَبْوَابِ — chapters. This is the front half of 'chapters of preserving health', a plural in the genitive after 'from', heading a possessive chain. It draws its definiteness from the owners that follow.
From: The One-Third Rule →فيقال يا محمد أدخل من أمتك من لا حساب عليهم من الباب الأيمن من أبواب الجنة وهم شركاء الناس فيما سوى ذلك من الأبواب
It will be said: "O Muhammad, admit into Paradise from your community those who will not be held accountable, through the right-hand gate of the gates of Paradise, and they will share with the people in what is beyond that from the other gates."
أَبْوَابِ — gates. The first noun of an 'of' pair, 'gates', joining straight to 'Paradise' with no separate 'of' and forgoing its own 'the', taking definiteness from the owner that follows; it also sits in the form the preceding preposition governs.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →فيقال يا محمد أدخل من أمتك من لا حساب عليهم من الباب الأيمن من أبواب الجنة وهم شركاء الناس فيما سوى ذلك من الأبواب
It will be said: "O Muhammad, admit into Paradise from your community those who will not be held accountable, through the right-hand gate of the gates of Paradise, and they will share with the people in what is beyond that from the other gates."
الْأَبْوَابِ — the other gates. A definite plural governed by the preceding preposition, carrying 'the' and its required ending; it names the remaining gates the group shares with others. Definiteness here points to the rest of the known set.
