Arabic vocabulary
How to say “good” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْهُ فَلَا خَيْرَ لَكَ فِي قَتْلِهِ
And if he is not him, then there is no good for you in killing him.
خَيْرَ — good. A noun acting as the thing whose existence is being denied by the negator just before it. That negator pins the noun into the special accusative shape it takes when something is being declared simply not to exist, which is how 'no good at all' is built.
From: A Night with the Companions →OpenArabic teaches words like خَيْرَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
