Arabic vocabulary
How to say “his life” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَا يُسَامُ مَنْ طَلَبَ اَلْفِقْهَ طُولَ دَهْرِهِ
One should not reproach anyone who seeks jurisprudence throughout his life.
دَهْرِهِ — his life. Completes the pairing 'the length of his life', so it sits in the genitive as the second of two linked nouns, and it carries a '-hi' (his) marking the owner. The two nouns placed together give 'his whole life' with no separate 'of'. The suffix points to the lifelong seeker.
