مِائَةٌhundred

Example sentences

• فقتله فكمل به مائةً،

  So he killed him, completing a hundred.

  مِائَةً — a hundred. This is 'a hundred', the object of 'completed', in the accusative — 'completed... a hundred'. The accusative marks it as the total he brought to fullness. With the monk, the tally reaches one hundred.

• فدل على رجل عالم فقال إنه قتل مائة نفس فهل له من توبة؟

  He was directed to a scholar and said, 'He has killed a hundred people; is there repentance for him?'

  مِائَةَ — a hundred. This is 'a hundred', the object of 'killed', and it heads a possessive with the counted noun — 'a hundred OF a soul'. With 'hundred', unlike the teens-to-nineties, the counted noun goes SINGULAR and GENITIVE. So watch the next word's case.
