Arabic vocabulary
How to say “increase” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
بينا هي في صعود الزيادة إذا صاحبها إلى القبر في انحدار،
While it is in the ascent of increase, suddenly its owner heads to the grave in decline,
الزِّيَادَةِ — of the increase. The owning half of 'ascent of increase', in the genitive because it completes the possessive pairing. Arabic conveys the 'of' through the ending and the side-by-side order, with no separate linking word, so this names what the ascent consists of.
