How to say “left” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ومن سُنَنِه التسميةُ، وتقديمُ اليُمنى على اليُسرى، والمُوالاةُ، وتخفيفُ التراب إذا كان كثيرًا، وألّا يُكَرِّر المسح
Among its Sunnahs: saying 'Bismillah', preferring the right over the left, continuity, lightening the dust if it is excessive, and not repeating the wiping.
الْيُسْرَى — the left. 'the left [side],' feminine, in the -i form after 'over.' The side that comes second; preferring right over left is the recommended order.
