How to say “increase” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
إنما همتهم في السماع على جهلة الشيوخ، وتكثير العدد من الأجزاء والرواة،
Their only concern is listening to ignorant scholars and accumulating large numbers of volumes and narrators.
وَتَكْثِيرِ — and increasing. The connector wa- 'and' joins a second action-noun 'multiplying/piling up', continuing the list of their concerns. The wa- coordinates this with 'listening' as another object of their ambition. The action-noun names the activity of running up numbers as a thing, here governed in the genitive by the earlier 'in'.
