Arabic vocabulary
How to say “good news” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَجَاءَتْ اَلْبِشَارَةُ فِي كَانُونِ اَلْيَأْسِ بِآمَالِ تَمُّوزِ،
Then the good news came in the December of despair, bringing the hopes of July.
اَلْبِشَارَةُ — the good news. This is a definite feminine noun ('the' is baked in) standing as the doer of the verb just before it. Arabic comfortably lets the subject follow its verb, so word order alone does not tell you who acts; the agreement between the feminine verb-ending and this feminine noun is what pins it down as the one who came.
