Example sentences
مِنْهُمْ إِبْنُهُ عَبْدُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ مَسْمُومًا بِالْمَوْصِلِ،
Among them was his son Abd al-Aziz, who died after being poisoned in Mosul,
بِالْمَوْصِلِ — in Mosul. One written word holding a preposition, a 'the', and a place name together: the preposition fixes location and pulls the place into the 'in/at' (genitive) form. It tells where the death happened. Arabic attaches the 'in' and 'the' straight onto the front of the name, where English needs separate words.
