How to say “Mecca” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ،
Until he arrived in Mecca.
مَكَّةَ — Mecca. A place name, and even without any 'to' word its ending is the destination case, so the noun itself carries the 'into Mecca' sense. Arabic can mark the goal of motion on the noun's own ending rather than with a preposition.
