Arabic vocabulary
How to say “lament” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقال عبد الواحد بن زيد لو رأيت الحسن، لقلت صب على هذا حزن الخلائق؛ من طول تلك الدمعة، وكثرة ذلك النشيج
Abdul-Wahid ibn Zaid said: If you saw Al-Hasan, you would say: 'The sorrow of all beings has been poured upon him,' because of the length of his weeping and the abundance of his lamentations.
النَّشِيجِ — lamentation. This owner noun closes the 'abundance of that lamentation' pairing, so it takes the governed ending while staying definite. It names the specific weeping-sound being measured.
From: Grief of the Prophet's Grandson →OpenArabic teaches words like نَشِيج through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
