Arabic vocabulary
How to say “movement” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فتجمع بين سرعةِ الحركة وصوابِ الاتجاه
Thus, you combine speed of movement with correctness of direction.
الحَرَكَةِ — movement. 'movement / motion,' in the -i form, owned in 'the speed of movement.' How fast one moves — half of what intention lets you keep; the other half, right aim, comes next.
From: Purifying Your Intentions →ولبسوا الثوب النظيف وشموا الطيب وأمسكوا عن الحركات،
They would wear clean clothes, smell perfume, and refrain from movements.
الحَرَكَاتِ — movements. The al- makes this definite, 'the movements'. As the plural noun governed by the preposition 'from', it takes the post-preposition ending Arabic gives objects of a preposition.
From: The Art of Eating Well →وكذلك الحركة بعده
Likewise, movement after it is harmful.
الحَرَكَةُ — the movement. The al- on the front marks this noun as definite, 'the movement', and here it is the topic the sentence will comment on. Arabic often opens a statement with a definite noun like this and then predicates something about it, with no separate verb 'is' needed to link them.
From: The Art of Eating Well →الحركة قبل الطعام خير كله، كما أنها بعده شر كله
Movement before food is entirely good, just as it is after it entirely evil.
الحَرَكَةُ — the movement. The al- makes this definite, 'the movement', and it opens the sentence as the topic. What follows describes it, with no linking verb 'is' spoken; Arabic forms such statements simply by setting the topic noun beside its description.
