Arabic vocabulary
أَجِير is how you say “laborer” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وقال الثالث اللهم استأجرت أجراء وأعطيتهم أجرهم غير رجل واحد ترك الذى له وذهب، فثمرت أجره حتى كثرت منه الأموال،
The third said: 'O Allah, I hired laborers and paid them their wages except for one man who left without taking his pay. I invested his wages until they multiplied into wealth.'
أُجَرَاءَ — laborers. This noun is the direct object of 'hired', so it takes the accusative ending; it is a plural, 'laborers', left indefinite as an unspecified group. It names whom he took on for work.
