صَدْرِيmy chest

Example sentences

• وَكُنْتُ أَجِدُ مَعَ ذَلِكَ حَرَارَةً فِي صَدْرِي لَا تَكَادُ تَسْكُنُ

  And I used to feel a burning in my chest that scarcely subsided.

  صَدْرِي — my chest. A noun with the first-person -i ('my') attached, making one word 'my chest'. That suffix makes the noun definite, so no separate 'the' is needed, and as the object of the preposition before it the whole thing sits in the governed shape. The -i is the after-noun form of 'my', distinct from the -ni used after verbs.
