Arabic vocabulary
How to say “here” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
التقوى ههنا، ويشير إلى صدره بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم،
Taqwa is here, 'and he pointed to his chest.' It is enough of a sin for a person to belittle his Muslim brother.
هُهُنَا — is here. This is a pointing word for place, 'here', acting as the predicate that the previous topic is equated with. Arabic forms 'X is here' without any verb for 'is'; the bare location word standing after the topic is the whole statement.
