Arabic vocabulary
How to say “human” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
He created the human from a clot.
الْإِنْسَانَ — the human. This noun carries the 'the' marker, making 'humankind' a definite, whole category, and its accusative ending marks it as the thing created, the object of the verb. So the 'the' here generalizes rather than picking one individual.
