أَسَدlion

Example sentences

• قلت ولا التفات إلى أبي حمزة في حكايته فجاء أسد فأخرجني ،

  I said, there is no attention to Abu Hamza in his story where a lion came and rescued me,

  أَسَدٌ — a lion. An indefinite noun, the doer of 'came', with no 'the' and an ending that marks it as newly introduced into the story. Arabic signals 'a lion' rather than 'the lion' precisely by leaving off the definite marker.
