How to say “my two backs” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وَأَنَّهَا لَا تَقْضِي حَاجَتَهَا إِلَّا وَظَهْرَيَّ مَطِيَّةٍ لَهَا،
and that she does not meet her needs except by using my back as her mount.
وَظَهْرَيَّ — and my two backs. The front wa- opens the circumstantial 'while / with', framing a state that accompanies the exception, and the noun under it carries the 'my' pronoun. So it sets up 'with my back as her mount'. This 'while...' framing is how Arabic marks the condition under which she copes.
