طَيِّبٌgood

Example sentences

• في الكلم الطيب، والعمل الصالح،

  In good speech and righteous acts,

  الطَّيِّبِ — the good. An adjective trailing its noun and copying its features — definite and genitive — so the matching '-i' and the 'al-' show it belongs to 'the speech'. Arabic places the describer after the described and chains the agreement, which is how you know 'good' attaches to 'speech' and nothing else.
