Arabic vocabulary
How to say “moon” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَامِرُ اِشْرَبْ مَا فِي النُّهُرِ
Then the moon said to him, "Drink what is in the river."
الْقَامِرُ — the moon. A definite noun with the article 'al-' (the), serving as the subject of 'said'. The unusual extra alif in its spelling is a script variant, not a change in role; it still names the speaker. The article fixes it as the specific figure already in the scene.
