Arabic vocabulary
How to say “my two wives” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
دَعَوْتُ زَوْجَتَيَّ لِفَتْحِ الْبَابِ،
I called my two wives to open the door.
زَوْجَتَيَّ — my two wives. This noun is in the DUAL, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, and it carries the attached 'my', so one word says 'my two wives'. English needs the extra word 'two', but here the count is folded into the noun's ending. It stands as the object of 'I called', the two summoned.
From: A Night of Reckoning →OpenArabic teaches words like زَوْجَتَيَّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
