How to say “laborer” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
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.
