مُحَدِّثnarrator

Example sentences

• محدث يكذب في حديثه ، ويختلق الفشارات ،

  A narrator lies in his narration and fabricates falsehoods,

  مُحَدِّثٌ — a narrator. This indefinite noun, 'a narrator', opens the sentence as the subject being described, and its plain undefined ending marks it as newly introduced. Arabic can start with such an indefinite subject and then pile descriptive verb-clauses onto it.

• وإن تعانى سرقة الأجزاء ، أو كشط الأوقاف ، فهذا لص بسمت محدث ،

  And if he engages in stealing parts or scraping endowments, then he is a thief in the guise of a narrator,

  مُحَدِّثٍ — a narrator. This indefinite noun, 'a narrator', sits in the possessed ending because the previous 'guise of' owns it: 'in the guise of a narrator'. The two nouns sit side by side with no word for 'of', the owned half taking this ending to complete the disguise image.
