أَبِيَmy father

Example sentences

• فَقُلْتُ فِدًى لَكَ أَبِيَ وَأُمِّيَ

  So I said, "May my father and my mother be a ransom for you."

  أَبِيَ — my father. A noun carrying an attached 'my', so 'father' and its owner are one word. It functions as part of what is being offered up; the suffix supplies the first-person possessor without a separate word.
