خَدِيجَةِKhadijah (of) in Arabic

Example sentences

• ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى خَدِيجَةِ

  Then he returns to Khadijah.

  خَدِيجَةِ — Khadijah. A woman's proper name in the genitive because the preposition before it governs it. As a destination it names the person he kept returning to; being a name, it takes no 'the' marker.

• قَالَ لِخَدِيجَةِ أَيُّ خَدِيجَةُ مَا لِيَ،

  He said to Khadijah, "O Khadijah, what is the matter with me?"

  لِخَدِيجَةَ — to Khadijah. A preposition fused onto the name, meaning 'to', that forces it into the genitive and marks her as the addressee of the speech. So one word names both the relationship and the person he spoke to.
