Arabic vocabulary
How to say “my drunkenness” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِي أَتَمايَلُ بِسُكْرِي،
When she saw me swaying, drunk,
بِسُكْرِي — with my drunkenness. This packs the preposition bi- ('with, by reason of') plus the noun and the attached 'my', giving 'with my drunkenness'. Here bi- marks cause or accompanying condition, not an instrument: it explains what the swaying was due to. The '-i' suffix keeps the drunkenness the narrator's own.
From: A Night of Reckoning →OpenArabic teaches words like سُكْرِي through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
