شَرِسٌ is how you say “harsh” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فلما قيل اسجد واضرب الشرس الخلق إلا شريس،
Then when it was said, "Prostrate," he struck the stubborn creation — none but the stubbornly defiant.
الشَّرِسَ — the harsh. This definite noun is the thing the command acts on and sits in the object ending. The 'the' marks it as a specific known group, and the object ending shows it receives the striking rather than performing it.
