How to say “little slave” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وَأَعْتَقْتُ عُبَيْدِيَ،
And I freed my little slave.
عُبَيْدِيَ — my little slave. This noun is in the DIMINUTIVE, a special shape that signals smallness or endearment ('little...'), and it carries the attached 'my'. So the form itself adds the 'little/young' nuance that English needs a separate word for. It stands as the one freed, the object of the verb before it, and the suffix ties him to the narrator.
